How to schedule Assignment profile execute updates APMS in minutes time like 3:30 AM EST and then every 6 hours

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

1. Open the scheduler for the Assignment Profile “execute updates” APM.
2. Set the first run time to 03:30.
3. Choose the Hourly recurrence and set it to every 6 hours.
4. Observe that the next execution time displays 09:00 instead of 09:30.

The Hourly option schedules jobs on the hour and repeats every nth hour from the current hour; minute offsets are not retained for recurring runs by design.

1. Note that minute-based offsets (e.g., :30) are not supported for Hourly recurrence. The job aligns to the top of the hour and repeats every nth hour from the current hour.
2. To anchor an on-the-hour pattern, update the schedule during the desired anchoring hour, then set the Hourly value (nth hour). The first scheduled run will align to an on-the-hour time and then repeat every nth hour.
3. Example: To start at 12:00 and run every 4 hours, update the schedule between 20:00–20:59 and set Hourly = 4. The job will run at 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00, and so on.
4. Patterns like 03:30 followed by every 6 hours (09:30, 15:30, 21:30) are not supported with the Hourly option; the next run will align to 09:00. If 30-minute offsets are required, consider manual runs or alternative scheduling approaches outside the Hourly recurrence.
