schedules:after


Schedule something after the given schedule.

This can be useful when wanting a schedule to begin at the end of an interval instead of the beginning, or for scheduling around holidays when a process is still required to run on the holiday, but not the day after the holiday.

The after schedule differs from the schedules:day-after in that day-after is designed to narrow it's parent interval but this schedule applies a refinement to it child schedule. The difference is subtle but hopefully the examples demonstrate how each should be used.

Examples

Example 1

A schedule for the end of the interval.

<schedules:count count="1" xmlns:schedules="http://rgordon.co.uk/oddjob/schedules">
    <refinement>
        <schedules:after>
            <schedule>
                <schedules:interval interval="00:20"/>
            </schedule>
        </schedules:after>
    </refinement>
</schedules:count>
This would schedule a job to run once after 20 minutes. It could be used to stop a long running job for instance.

Example 2

A schedule for the day after a the current business day.

<schedules:after xmlns:schedules="http://rgordon.co.uk/oddjob/schedules">
    <schedule>
        <schedules:broken>
            <schedule>
                <schedules:weekly from="MONDAY" to="FRIDAY">
                    <refinement>
                        <schedules:daily/>
                    </refinement>
                </schedules:weekly>
            </schedule>
            <breaks>
                <schedules:date on="2011-05-02"/>
            </breaks>
        </schedules:broken>
    </schedule>
    <refinement>
        <schedules:time from="08:00"/>
    </refinement>
</schedules:after>
Normally this will schedule something from 08:00 am Tuesday to Saturday, but for the week where Monday 2nd of May was a public holiday the schedule will be from Wednesday to Saturday.
