It may require a bit of typing (one time), but may I suggest just explicitly scheduling each of the 14 cron jobs, staggered appropriately. Use the following variety of syntax to specify the schedule:
every N (hours|mins|minutes) ["from" (time) "to" (time)] (from http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/cron.html#The_Schedule_Format) E.g., <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <cronentries> <cron> <url>/foo/task1</url> <schedule>every 30 minutes from 00:00 to 23:29</schedule> </cron> <cron> <url>/foo/task2</url> <schedule>every 30 minutes from 00:02 to 23:31</schedule> </cron> <cron> <url>/foo/task3</url> <schedule>every 30 minutes from 00:04 to 23:33</schedule> </cron> <!-- tasks 4 thru 13 go here --> <cron> <url>/foo/task14</url> <schedule>every 30 minutes from 00:28 to 23:57</schedule> </cron> </cronentries> On Oct 12, 5:27 am, Hakim <rhani2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I've an application that runs 14 crons that have the same schedule > configuration: every 30 mins synchronized > > I'm looking for a technique to desynchronise the execution of these crons, I > don't want them to execute at the same time in order to reduce the number of > instances used to serve them each 30 minutes > > Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
