Workbench job schedule - details

Hi,

 

I investigated into Domostats, Domo Governance datasets to find if Workbench Job schedule is available.

But I see none of them have the workbench schedule(manual, weekly, etc.,).

 

Please suggest where can I find Workbench Job schedule?

 

Thanks

    Hi @Khan_Naziya 

     

    You won't have visibility into the workbench job schedules via a governance dataset. Workbench jobs (including their schedules) can be exported from workbench using the wb.exe executable.

     

     

    wb.exe export-jobs --help

     

    That will give you usage details where you can export your jobs to a folder in JSON notation to then parse the schedule out of. You'll likely need to use the full path to your executable wherever you installed it at.

    Is there any documentation on how to translate the schedule values from the json file into human readable details? When I parse out schedule from the json file, I get values like: 0 26 15 ? * 1, which is meaningless. I'd like to know how to turn this into a meaningful value.

    It's standard cron type scheduling. There's a lot of resources online but one I like to use is https://crontab.guru/ which helps decode cron strings.

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron is another good resource to understanding the special syntax.

     

    The one exception to this is I believe Domo includes the seconds as the first number so there's one extra entry.

    Revisiting this — is there any more detailed documentation outside of the - - help option for the wb.exe commands?

    I am running into issues with my server connection option (returns error: No connection to [servername]) but am at a loss of where to start trouble-shooting this.
