Hi all,

I am wondering in version AWX 21.0.0 is it possible there to do the following

I want to have my batch run from Monday till friday, but not on second day of Easther, 1ste of May and both Christmas day’s

Is this way of complex scheduling already possible in this version of AWX ?

Kind regards,  
Johan.

Johan,

I’m not sure if our UI helps you create such a complex rule, but as far as I know any valid “RRULE” can be used if you create/edit the schedule via the API.

[https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rrule.html](https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rrule.html) is a python library for creating/parsing RRULE format.

For example, an RRULE can look like:

“DTSTART:20200609T093807Z RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=WE”

Does anyone knows if this has been officially released and how to install it ?

Johan, that pull request has been merged, so it is certainly AWX version (21.14.0)

Try upgrading to latest AWX to check out that feature [https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator#upgrading](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator#upgrading)
