Schedule Action Plan

This page describes scheduling and executing action plans.

In Old Actions (Director), scheduling is based on the Quartz cron format, whereas the New Actions framework uses the standard Linux cron format.

Due to this difference, cron expressions from the old system are not fully compatible with the new system.

As a result, migrated cron expressions may not work as expected in the New Actions framework, especially those using Quartz-specific syntax (such as the ? character).

It is required to review and reconfigure all scheduled actions after migration by updating the cron expressions to a valid Linux cron format.

Failure to do so may result in actions executing at unintended times or not triggering at all.

Steps:

  1. In Pulse UI, go to Actions > Actions.
  2. On the Actions page, click Create Action.
  3. On the Create Action page, go to the Schedule section.
  4. In the Schedule section:
    1. Enable the option to schedule an action plan.
    2. Once enabled, you can either manually enter a Cron Expression or use the Cron Generator to create one by specifying minutes, hours, days, and other parameters.
