Fabric Pipeline Schedule Repeat Frequency

DP-600 By islever Editorial Last updated

Short answer

C Set the schedule to Weekly to select Monday and Friday, then configure the 4-hour interval.

Question

You have a Fabric tenant that contains a data pipeline. You need to ensure that the pipeline runs every four hours on Mondays and Fridays. To what should you set Repeat for the schedule?
  1. Daily
  2. By the minute
  3. Weekly Correct Answer
  4. Hourly

Key Takeaways

Tests understanding of schedule configuration constraints: Weekly allows day selection, while other frequencies do not support filtering by specific weekdays.

Determines the correct schedule type for running a Microsoft Fabric pipeline on specific weekdays at regular intervals. Establishes that Weekly is the required setting to combine day selection with time repetition.

Common mistake: Choosing Hourly or Daily because the interval is every four hours, failing to realize these options cannot restrict execution to only Monday and Friday.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

The correct answer is C (Weekly). In Microsoft Fabric and Azure Data Factory, the 'Weekly' recurrence pattern is the only option that provides checkboxes for selecting specific days of the week (e.g., Monday, Friday). Once 'Weekly' is selected, you can configure the 'Repeat every' field to specify the interval (4 hours) within those selected days.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A (Daily) runs every day; it does not allow you to exclude Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Option D (Hourly) repeats every N hours continuously across all days of the week/month without the ability to filter by weekday. Option B (By the minute) is a high-frequency continuous trigger, not suitable for scheduled weekday jobs.

Community Comment Notes

The community overwhelmingly agrees with Weekly. As noted by user Sanji931, "The only way to do this is to set the schedule to ''Weekly'', set the days on Monday and Friday and add manually 6 Time of 4 hour intervals." This highlights that while 'Weekly' is the base frequency, the interval logic is applied within that framework. User Nicofr confirms "Weekly allow to choose the days and the time," reinforcing the structural requirement.

Exam Strategy

When configuring schedules in Microsoft data services, always look for the 'Day of Week' selector first. If the requirement involves specific weekdays, 'Weekly' is almost always the correct frequency choice, regardless of the internal repeat interval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I use Hourly for Monday and Friday?

Hourly recurrence applies to all days continuously. It lacks the UI element to filter execution to only specific weekdays like Monday and Friday.

Does Weekly run every 4 hours automatically?

Yes, when combined with the 'Repeat every' setting. You select Weekly, pick Mon/Fri, and set the interval to 4 hours.

    Answer C : Weekly. The only way to do this is to set the schedule to ''Weekly'', set the days on Monday and Friday and add manually 6 Time of 4 hour intervals.

    This is a no-brainer as the only way to make this work is to set the schedule as weekly and specify the pipeline to run on Mondays and Wednesdays.

    Hi IshtarSQL, the selection of individual week days is only possible in the "Weekly" schedule option. Therefore, C is correct here.

    I would pick D. To ensure that the pipeline runs every four hours on Mondays and Fridays, you should set the Repeat for the schedule to "4 hours".
  2. Nefirs 👍 2 Answered C
    C - individual days can be selected only in Weekly schedule, and then add additional Times manually for each interval within a day.

    To ensure that the pipeline runs every four hours on Mondays and Fridays, you should set the "Repeat" frequency for the schedule to "Daily" and set the "Interval" to 4 hours. Then, you can specify the days of the week when the pipeline should run by selecting only Mondays and Fridays.
