In D365 F&O, how do I run a batch job every hour, Monday through Friday only? Using Batch Job Recurrence, I can achieve either weekday or every hour, but not both.

How to run a batch job every hour on weekdays

Hi Praveen,

Hope you get your answer from @Guy Terry answer.

I am just adding a small point here, while creating multiple jobs with similar recurrence pattern and just changing the scheduled start date/time. You can utilize the "Copy batch job" functionality available on batch form. It will make your process faster.

Hi,

Agree with Guy Terry to create multiple versions of batch jobs.

How to run a batch job every hour on weekdays

I think the only way to do this is to create multiple versions of the Batch job. You need one version for each hour that you want the batch job to run; so if you really need every hour, that's 24 versions. But if you need on the hour from 8am to 5pm, that's 9 versions.

For the 8am version of the job, configure the Recurrence pattern to Weeks, and tick Monday through Friday. Set the Start time to 8am and set No end date. This job will now run every weekday at 8am.

Repeat for 9am, 10am, 11am etc.

How to run a batch job every hour on weekdays

Hi,

This would require a small code customization of the batch job itself. A new parameter can be added to the batch job. If this parameter is enabled, the customization checks if it's a weekday or not and only runs the batch job logic if it's a weekday.

(the screenshot below is the parameter dialog from a random batch job)
