3468451 - SAP Datasphere Job Scheduling and Cron Expression limitations

Symptom

  • The Job Scheduling (Simple Schedule) functionality in SAP Datasphere allows the selection of days 1-28 only for each month. 
  • With this functionality it is not possible to schedule jobs to run, for example, on the last day of each month. 
  • Even with the Cron Expression functionality, the possibility to schedule a job to run on the last day of the month is not currently possible. 

Environment

SAP Datasphere

Reproducing the Issue

SAP Datasphere tenant
-> Data Integration Monitor

Cause

This functionality is not currently available with either Simple Scheduler or Cron Expression scheduling.
