Example Hybrid Trigger Configuration

As an example of configuring a Hybrid trigger, say you wanted to set a trigger to send a message throughout the months of July and August, Monday through Thursday, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, at 30 minute intervals, every 2.5 seconds for 10 seconds. In English, we communicate this time from the largest unit of time (days) to the smallest (seconds), but when you create a trigger in the Scheduler Binding Component, it is often configured from the smallest setting to the largest.

Configure the Hybrid trigger as follows:

• From the Minute tab, select and set “Starting on Minute: 00 of the hour and repeating every: 30 Minutes afterwards”.

• From the Hour tab, select and set “Range from Hour: 09, to Hour: 15 of the day”.

• From the Day-of-Week tab, select and set “Range from: MON, to: THU each week”.

• From the Month tab, select and set “On multiple Months of the year: 7,8”.

This creates the Cron expression: * 0/30 9–15 ? 7,8 2–5.

• For Duration, enter 10 Second(s).

• For Interval, enter 2.5.

• For Message, enter “Use Sunscreen”.
