Overview
Overview
Activities in this package:
- Get next run time - Simple activity to get the next run time for a cron expression. It uses the GetTimeAfter method from Quartz.net lbrary.
- Get next run times - Get next "n" run times for a cron expression. Using the same GetTimeAfter method in a loop.
- Get all runs in interval - Get next runs for a given time range, for example I want all scheduled runs for the next 10 days.
The activities use 3rd party library Quartz.dll (https://www.quartz-scheduler.net/). The 3rd party library was included in the package, not just added as reference, because this way we can use all types and public methods from the Quartz.net library.
Can be used to get "a calendar" of scheduled jobs in Orchestrator, there is also snippet available for this - Export Schedules Calendar for Orchestrator. The Orchestrator API provides only the cron expression for a given schedule, not the next run times according to the cron expression, so we can use the methods provided in this package to get the run times according to schedule.
Cross Platform Release 2.0: Listing is upgraded to work on Cross Platform, .NET 6 (Windows Projects), and .NET Framework 4.6.1 (Windows-Legacy).
