Availability

This routine is available starting with Power Scripts™ for Jira 3.0.8.

This routine is available for Jira server and cloud deployment options.

Syntax

runJobInAndRepeat(silFile, args, interval [, user])

Description

Runs a job every specified interval.

Parameters

Parameter name	Type	Required	Description
scriptPath	string	Yes	The source of the script to be executed.
args	array string	Yes	The list of the arguments of the job.
interval	int	Yes	The interval
user	string	No	The user which will be used to run the script. Availability This param is available starting with version 4.8.0.10 of Power Scripts .

Return type

none

The returned value has no meaning.

Example

string[] args = {key, project};
interval varInterval = "30m";
runJobInAndRepeat("script.sil", args, varInterval);

The example above creates a job that runs the script "script.sil" every 30 minutes. The job running will repeat every 30 minutes.

For the scriptPath parameter you can either give the relative path (as in the example above), or the absolute path:
C:/Program Files/Atlassian/Application Data/JIRA/silprograms/script.sil.

In "script.sil" you can access the args using the next syntax:

string issueKey = argv[0];

No user provided

This routine doesn't assume any user when executed because of the nature of this action(the execution of the script can be scheduled at any point in time and that cannot guarantee the user is authenticated). Therefore, the script will NOT have the required permissions to interact with Jira tickets, unless the project allows for anonymous access or the script explicitly calls out the user to use within in the script using the runAs routine.

It is highly recommended to provide a user to the scheduled job when interacting with Jira tickets.

Starting with version 4.8.0.10 of Power Scripts an optional param will be available that will give the possibility to assume an user when executing the script.
