Turn Off AEM Scheduler Manually

Question

I am following this tutorial on creating a scheduler: https://kiransg.com/2021/11/07/aem-scheduler-best-practices/

@ObjectClassDefinition(name="A scheduled task", description = "Simple demo for cron-job like task with properties")

public @interface SimpleScheduledTaskConfig {

@AttributeDefinition(name = "Cron-job expression")

String schedulerExpression() default "*/30 * * * * ?";

@AttributeDefinition(name = "Concurrent task", description = "Whether or not to schedule this task concurrently")

boolean schedulerConcurrent() default false;

@AttributeDefinition(name = "A parameter", description = "Can be configured in /system/console/configMgr")

String myParameter() default "";

@AttributeDefinition(name = "Enabled", description = "True, if scheduler service is enabled", type = AttributeType.BOOLEAN)

public boolean enabled() default true;

}

In it, it mentioned the interface should have an enabled() field as boolean so the scheduler can be turned off. I was wondering how to turn it off the scheduler? Is there a way to turn it off through the aem portal?

Hi @aemuser2345 ,

To turn of the scheduler manually, try following the steps below :
1. Got to /system/console/configMgr.

2. Search for your scheduler(from above example it should be "A scheduled task").

3. Open the config and uncheck the field labelled "enabled".

4. That should turn off the scheduler.

I'm attaching a screenshot of a sample scheduler with the enabled field which should be turned off.
