FME Server Schedules for Week Day Only

Using a CRON job is the way you can set up flexible schedules.

This website expains the settings:

https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/scheduling-tasks-with-cron-jobs--net-8800

There is some discrepancy between the tutsplus documentation and the FME Server documentation. The former has five required fields, the latter six. Also, I am wondering if this command will work on a Windows FME Server.

 

 

This command should run every half hour between 4:00 AM and 7:00 PM, Monday thru Friday, as I understand it the syntax:

 

 

* 29,59 4-19 * * 2-6 "C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\Server\\repository\\MY_REPOSITORY_NAME\\MY_FME_SCRIPT\\MY_FME_SCRIPT.fmw"

 

 

But no matter what variation I try it I get "The CRON expression syntax is not valid". Perhaps some guru from the FME team can elucidate?

 

 

Thanks

I would use the fme server link and from my own experience I know it will work on a windows environment.
