I'm new to autosys.
I wanted to plan a work that starts at 9.00 and runs every 15 minutes. Is this the proper syntax?
start.times=start_times: "09:00"
start_mins:00,15,30,45
You need a run window.
A run window cannot wrap around midnight or whatever time you start your new day processing. The default is midnight
If you want a start time for a job to run every 15 minutes then use this
start_mins: 00,15,30,45
run_window: "09:00-22:00"
22:00 can be whatever you want or as far as 23:59 if your new day processing starts at midnight.

In Control-M, I have a job that's scheduled 2 minutes after a batch interval ends, e.g. August 13th, 2021 at 00:02 (local time).
I need to pull files from a server on the format "YYDDMMHHMM.zip" and for example "HHMM" could be 2350 (10-minute frequency); the order time for that job would be 23:52.
How do I subtract 2 minutes from the order date/time? And if the system is running in a local time zone, how would one additionally express that result in UTC time? That is, the files on the server are timestamped in UTC time.
The date parameters in Control-M do not include minutes or seconds, %%$DATE will resolve the yyyymmdd value.
If you want yesterday's date (i.e. at 1 minute after New Day Processing you want the previous ODAT value) use the CALCDATE facility to subtract (or add) 'x' days.
If you really want minutes adding/subtracting then that is best done at Unix system level.
Control-M just takes the time/date from the local system time.
You could user "%%CALCDATE %%TIME -120", but it will calculate based on the control-m/server time.
I have an Hive script that I am executing using Oozie coordinator every 10 minutes. When I launched my Oozie coordinator-app, suppose I have started at 08:03, the first workflow starts at that time, the next 08:13, and then 08:23, and so on.
What I want is to execute the workflow every clock time hh:mm, where mm is divisible by 10. Assuming the same scenario above, what I want to happen is this: the first workflow will execute at 08:10, and then 08:20, and so on.
How do I do this in Oozie? How about when every 5 minutes (The last m of the minute is either 5 or 0)? Thanks for your input.
In order to run a coordinator job at a frequency, you can use the following directives
<coordinator-app name="app" frequency="10" start="2015-07-10T12:00Z" end="2016-01-01T00:00Z" timezone="UTC" xmlns="uri:oozie:coordinator:0.1">
This would run every 10 minutes, starting exactly at 12:00 UTC time today. The same goes for running every 5 minutes, just replace frequency="10" with frequency="5". To to have it run every Nth minute divisible by M, you will have to ensure that your start parameter is set correctly.
Another option if you are using a more recent version of Oozie (4.1.0) would be to use the cron like scheduler. This would allow you to schedule Oozie coordinators in a cron-like fashion if you're familiar. See http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2014/04/how-to-use-cron-like-scheduling-in-apache-oozie/ and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1306
As we know, when ever our clocks go 1h back (as they did on 29OCT at 2:00 in some countries) ending the DST period, every timestamp between 1:00 and 2:00 'occurs' twice.
How should an application working with future events handle this?
For example user creates a future event and specifies that it will take a place on 29OCT at 1:35.
And let's assume that standard local time is UTC+3 and the DST is UTC+4
How should the application convert this time to UTC? Should this time be considered as the first instance (before end of DST, which makes it 21:35 UTC) or the second instance (after end of DST, i.e. 22:35 UTC)?
Only you can decide that. It is largely based on context.
In many cases, the right thing to do is to choose the first of the two occurrences - which would be the daylight time. In your example, it would run at 1:35 in UTC+4.
You also need to consider the spring-forward transition. A recurring task that falls into the gap should usually be displaced by an amount equal to the DST bias (which is usually 1 hour). For example, if the clock jumps from 1:59:59.999 to 3:00, then a task scheduled to run at 2:30 would run at 3:30 on that day.
Again, only you can decide what is the right behavior for your application. Some applications may need the fall event to run at the standard time, or at both times. In the spring, they may want to run at the very next instant past the gap (3:00 in the above example, instead of 3:30) - or they may not want to run at all.

I am looking to run a console application triggered from Autosys every X minutes.
The following commands do not seem to provide this capability
start_times: Exact time each day a job will run [cannot be
used with start_mins]
start_mins: Minutes after each hour a job will execute
[cannot be used with start_times]
The solution that I can see at the moment is to set start_mins : 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55
This is ok if the time interval is 5 minutes, but becomes a little cumbersome if the interval is 1 or 2 minutes.
Is there any way to configure Autosys to easily repeat a job every x minutes ?
there is only one way for autosys to start a job every minute -
start_mins: 0,1,2..59
if we specify start_time as well as conditions in autosys job, which get preference over another ??
For e.g. lets say start time for my job A is 06:00 AM but this job is also dependent on another job B (via conditions param) . But Job B gets becomes successful at 06:30 AM.
So my job will start running at 06:00 AM or 06:30 AM ?
My guess is start time as well as conditions, both will be considered while running the job. So job should start at 06:30 AM. But i still want to be sure.

Start_time:- Job started means Activated or might be run, (if conditions are already met) at starting time.
Conditions:- Means job would run after given condition mate.
Example:-
Suppose job A starting time is 11:00 PM and its condition is s(B)---->B should success, B is another job that would complete at 11:30 PM. In this scenario A started at 11:00 PM but it would in active state for 30 min. than it would in running state.
Your job will be in Activated state at 6:00 AM and will wait until B completes...but
consider a situation when you have another job C which is running before B. In case if C is running long and B is delayed and is not in Activated state (it is in sucessfull since run from, say, yesterday and waiting for C), you job A will also trigger as it's already 6 and B is in success (even from yesterday).
In order to avoid this, you have two ways:
1) Make B activated before A
2) Make a condition s(A, )
