Scheduled jobs

One cron line runs the scheduler every minute; jobs scan the drop box, move the start-of-day chain, run checks, write files and clean up.

Try it in the demo A private sandbox firm, no sign-up. Simulated data only.

Scheduled jobs
Each job with its schedule in New York time, calendar, window and what it does.

One cron line runs the scheduler every minute, with a lock so two runs never overlap. Jobs use cron expressions in New York time, can follow the business calendar (skipped on weekends and US holidays) and a run window, retry with growing waits, and keep their history.

The demo sandbox has no scheduler: nothing runs on its own and files arrive when you simulate them.

  • Feeds and start of day Feeds are data sets that arrive on a schedule (drop box, HTTPS push or pull); each file becomes a batch, and the start-of-day chain applies them in order.
  • The start of day The deterministic chain that applies the morning's data in order, from calendars to pre-open compliance; until it completes every page says so.
  • Drop box and transfer The firm's managed-file-transfer drop box (explicit FTPS), its folders, the HTTPS pull allow-list, alerts and the outbound trade file.
  • Data quality Deterministic checks over the loaded data: stale or jumping prices, missing classifications or identifiers, negative cash and more. Issues resolve themselves when the data is fixed.
