Will AEM scheduler keep on doing its job after redeployment(no change in scheduler code) and after server restart?

When we build any AEM scheduler we need to consider below points -

1. A scheduler will continue to run automatically even after the server reboot/redeployment. 

2. Remove the scheduler registered with old configuration.

3. Add the scheduler registered with new configuration.

Yes, it will be working. Hope this will help.

Please refer the below sample scheduler and here I am focusing my scheduler should execute it's job after redeployment and instance restart -

OSGi configuration associated with scheduler -

package com.aem.demo.core.configurations;

import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.AttributeDefinition;
import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.AttributeType;
import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.ObjectClassDefinition;

/**
*
* @380 debal This is the configuration class that takes properties for a
* scheduler to run
*/

@ObjectClassDefinition(name = "TaskNotificationSchedulerConfiguration", description = "Task Notification scheduler configuration")
public @interface TaskNotificationSchedulerConfiguration {

/**
* This method will return the name of the Scheduler
*
* @2007960 {@link String}
*/
@AttributeDefinition(name = "Scheduler name", description = "Name of the scheduler", type = AttributeType.STRING)
public String schdulerName() default "Task Notification scheduler configuration";

/**
* This method will set flag to enable the scheduler
*
* @2007960 {@link Boolean}
*/

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

/**
* This method returns the Cron expression which will decide how the scheduler
* will run
*
* @2007960 {@link String}
*/

@AttributeDefinition(name = "Cron Expression", description = "Cron expression used by the scheduler", type = AttributeType.STRING)
public String cronExpression() default "0 * * * * ?";

/**
* This method returns the Asset Path
*
*
* @2007960 {@link String}
*/

@AttributeDefinition(name = "Asset Path", description = "Asset Path", type = AttributeType.STRING)
public String assetPath() default "/content/dam";

}

hi @shikhasoni1 , can you elaborate your question? Do you mean if the server restarts/redeployment happens while the scheduler job in progress, will it keep doing the job?
