Problem Note 65206: A daily flow in SAS® Job Flow Scheduler does not run on Mondays, even when you select the "Every Weekday" option

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

The crontab service in Linux is not observing the correct value for weekdays when scheduling a flow with a daily recurrence. The job flow runs on Tuesday to Saturday, instead of Monday to Friday. 

The issue can be observed after these steps are followed:

  1. Create a flow.
  2. Schedule the flow with a new time trigger.
  3. Select the Daily recurrence.
  4. Select Every Weekday.
  5. Schedule the flow.

The flow will not run on Mondays, because the range specified in the crontab service is 2–6 and not 1–5.
