Service Virtualization

Hi There,

I'm trying to schedule a test-case using Cron settings and getting error as below. Can somebody please help, what is missing here ? FYI, using DevTest 1.x version.

Hi,

    I am getting same error if I validate the same cron expression through below link. Can you please use below cron expression generator to generate cron script accordingly.

    If you want to schedule test to run every half an hour using cron expression, please give it as 0 */30 * ? * * . Hope cron expression generator helps in identifying correct cron pattern.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi NagaRaj,

I got same error messages in registry.log file just after deplying to CVS with the Spec value is "30 * * * *" and the statuses of the service of CVS were "Expired" and "Inactive" in DevTest 10.2.

I changed the Spec value to "30 * * ? * *" or "* 30 * ? * *", then still I got same error messages in the registry.log but the statuses of service of CVS became "Completed" and "Active" and the test case ran periodically.
Results in detail:
Spec "30 * * ? * *": the test ran every HH:MM:30 .
Spec "* 30 * ? * *": the test ran every HH:30:00 .

Please read about A Cron Expressions in this site:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Connect/en/Writing_a_CRON_Expression
I created the values for the "Spec:" field based on this URL.

Thank you,

P.S.
I think the error messages in registry.log can be ignore if the test runs as scheduled.

Able to get correct Cron format using below linka dn scheduled TC successfully.
