Run schedule jobs on Each & every Saturday 5 PM

Question

I need to create a schedule task to run my scheduled functions on each & every week Saturday 5 PM. ( It should run once per week that is Saturday 5 PM ). I have experience on creating schedule on daily basics. Also I know that we the options as 'Weekly" in recurring drop down. But how we can mentioned the that Saturday and 5 PM ? Because we don't have option to mention the Saturday while choose 'Weekly'

Questions:

1. If I set start date as 02-04-2022 (coming Saturday) and check Recurring options weekly and at 5:00:00 PM means, Will it run automatically on next Saturday & all upcoming Saturday also ?
2. If I choose the Crontime option, what value I should give on that textbox to run the schedule on every Saturday 5 PM? Also If I choose Crontime then do I need to give Start Date value?

Answer 1

You can use "Recurring: Weekly", with the time of 5 PM, and a Start Date that is a Saturday.

If you want to use the "Crontime" option, "Every Saturday, 5 PM" is

0 0 17 ? * SAT *
| | |  | | |   |
| | |  | | |   +- Year: Any 
| | |  | | +----- Day of Week: Saturday
| | |  | +------- Month: Any
| | |  +--------- Day of Month: not set
| | +------------ Hour: 17 (= 5 PM)
| +-------------- Minute: 0
+---------------- Second: 0

In both cases the task will not run before "Start Date" and not after "End Date" (if given).

• For "Recurring", setting the "Start Date" to a Saturday and "Recurring" to "Weekly" will repeat the task every Saturday.
• For "Crontime", setting the "Start Date" marks the moment when the defined schedule activates. The schedule then picks the next available trigger time ("Saturday, 5 PM") after the start date - whether the start date itself is a Saturday is irrelevant.
