Scheduler is a core functionality of Jira, and allows you to schedule repetitive jobs either at a regular interval (for example 5 minutes) or based on some CRON expression. This is a powerful functionality, and SIL™ makes it even more powerful.Our scheduler support adds routines to schedule jobs at interval or based on cron, and also allows you to create 'at' jobs (for instance jobs that run at a specified time).You may use the scheduling routines from any app supporting the SIL language.
The scheduled scripts run with no issue context and with no user. If you want to impersonate a user or run on some privileged account, use in the script the runAs routine. It should be noted also that minimal amount of time for interval based schedule routines is 1s.
A user interface for scheduling jobs is provided by the Power Scripts™ for Jira app; however, this handy tool is not in the scope of SIL Engine™.
