InstaLOD Pipeline supports industry-standard cron-expressions to easily set up complex schedules. This enables files or folder structures to be processed at specific times and dates.

Scheduling tasks

To schedule a task, specify the -schedule argument followed by <minute>,<hour>,<dayOfMonth>,<month>,<dayOfWeek> before the desired operation:

InstaLODCmd -schedule <minute> <hour> <dayOfMonth> <month> <dayOfWeek>
