How to set FME Flow Schedule (under Automations) to run quarterly?  I’ve tried the following CRON expressions:

0 0 1 */3 *

and 

0 0 1 3,6,9,12 *

FME throws an error for both of these expressions.  

Is there a known work around?

Note: I do not want to use Schedules.

FME uses the Quartz Scheduler which has slightly different syntax to other CRON based systems.

The expression you’ll need to use is:

0 0 0 1 3,6,9,12 ? *

This is a helpful site for testing and building CRON expressions for FME
