Scheduler

The Bosca Scheduler lets you define recurring and one-time background jobs with standard cron expressions. It integrates with the Workflow job system and provides full execution history tracking.

What you get

• Cron Scheduling: Define job schedules using standard cron expressions with validation.
• Execution History: Track every job run with status, timing, errors, and execution context.
• Concurrency Controls: Configure whether a job can run concurrently or must wait for the previous execution to finish.
• Catch-Up Behavior: Choose whether missed executions should be caught up, with configurable limits on how many catch-up runs to allow.
• Manual Triggering: Run any scheduled job on demand, outside its regular schedule.

How it works

Scheduled jobs reference job definitions registered in the system. Each scheduled job tracks:

• The cron expression and whether the job is enabled
• Last and next run times
• Concurrency and catch-up settings
• Job parameters as JSON

When a scheduled job fires, the scheduler creates a job history entry tracking execution from start to finish, including any errors.

Administration

The Administration UI provides controls for:

• Viewing and managing scheduled jobs
• Adjusting concurrency settings
• Reviewing execution history with status filtering
• Manually triggering jobs
