# Pipeline Schedules
|
|
|
|
> **Notes**:
|
|
- This feature was introduced in 9.1 as [Trigger Schedule][ce-10533].
|
|
- In 9.2, the feature was [renamed to Pipeline Schedule][ce-10853].
|
|
- Cron notation is parsed by [Rufus-Scheduler](https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-scheduler).
|
|
|
|
Pipeline schedules can be used to run pipelines only once, or for example every
|
|
month on the 22nd for a certain branch.
|
|
|
|
## Using Pipeline schedules
|
|
|
|
In order to schedule a pipeline:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to your project's **Pipelines ➔ Schedules** and click the
|
|
**New Schedule** button.
|
|
1. Fill in the form
|
|
1. Hit **Save pipeline schedule** for the changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>**Attention:**
|
|
The pipelines won't be executed precisely, because schedules are handled by
|
|
Sidekiq, which runs according to its interval.
|
|
See [advanced admin configuration](#advanced-admin-configuration) for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
In the **Schedules** index page you can see a list of the pipelines that are
|
|
scheduled to run. The next run is automatically calculated by the server GitLab
|
|
is installed on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Taking ownership
|
|
|
|
Pipelines are executed as a user, who owns a schedule. This influences what
|
|
projects and other resources the pipeline has access to. If a user does not own
|
|
a pipeline, you can take ownership by clicking the **Take ownership** button.
|
|
The next time a pipeline is scheduled, your credentials will be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>**Note:**
|
|
When the owner of the schedule doesn't have the ability to create pipelines
|
|
anymore, due to e.g., being blocked or removed from the project, the schedule
|
|
is deactivated. Another user can take ownership and activate it, so the
|
|
schedule can be run again.
|
|
|
|
## Advanced admin configuration
|
|
|
|
The pipelines won't be executed precisely, because schedules are handled by
|
|
Sidekiq, which runs according to its interval. For example, if you set a
|
|
schedule to create a pipeline every minute (`* * * * *`) and the Sidekiq worker
|
|
runs on 00:00 and 12:00 every day (`0 */12 * * *`), only 2 pipelines will be
|
|
created per day. To change the Sidekiq worker's frequency, you have to edit the
|
|
`trigger_schedule_worker_cron` value in your `gitlab.rb` and restart GitLab.
|
|
For GitLab.com, you can check the [dedicated settings page][settings]. If you
|
|
don't have admin access to the server, ask your administrator.
