Build a Microsoft Fabric job schedule configuration

Source: R/fabric_job_scheduler.R
fabric_job_schedule_config.Rd

Creates a validated configuration for fabric_job_schedule_create() or fabric_job_schedule_update(). Recurrence clock times use the supplied Windows time-zone identifier, while schedule boundaries are sent to Fabric in UTC.

Usage

fabric_job_schedule_config(
  type = "Cron",
  start_time,
  end_time,
  time_zone = "UTC",
  interval = NULL,
  times = NULL,
  weekdays = NULL,
  recurrence = NULL,
  day_of_month = NULL,
  week_index = NULL,
  weekday = NULL
)

Arguments

type

Schedule type: "Cron" for a minute interval, "Daily", "Weekly", or "Monthly".

start_time, end_time

A scalar POSIXt value or RFC 3339 string with an explicit Z or numeric offset. These boundaries are converted to UTC.

time_zone

Windows time-zone identifier used to interpret times, such as "UTC", "W. Europe Standard Time", or "Central Standard Time". Fabric validates the identifier.

interval

For a Cron schedule, a whole-number interval in minutes from 1 through 5,270,400.

times

For daily, weekly, and monthly schedules, one or more local clock times in 24-hour "HH:MM" form. The REST contract permits up to 100.

weekdays

For a weekly schedule, one or more English weekday names.

recurrence

For a monthly schedule, the whole-number month interval from 1 through 12.

day_of_month

For a monthly schedule, a day from 1 through 31. Invalid dates in a particular month are skipped by Fabric. Supply this or the week_index and weekday pair.

week_index

For an ordinal monthly schedule, one of "First" through "Fifth".

weekday

For an ordinal monthly schedule, one English weekday name.

Value

A named list using the Fabric ScheduleConfig JSON field names.

Details

A Cron schedule is Fabric's minute-interval schedule; this function does not accept a cron expression because the REST API does not use one. Daylight saving behavior is controlled by Fabric using time_zone, not by the R process's local time zone. Arguments that do not belong to the selected documented schedule type are rejected.

# Describe a schedule in the Windows time zone used by Fabric
daily <- fabric_job_schedule_config(
  "Daily",
  start_time = "2026-10-01T00:00:00Z",
  end_time = "2027-10-01T00:00:00Z",
  time_zone = "W. Europe Standard Time",
  times = c("08:30", "17:00")
