Java azure function Timer Trigger

Question

I have a Java azure function Timer Trigger that ran unexpectedly due to ispastdue flag, I have read that if you set UseMonitor to false you can disable the function running if it misses the scheduled run. However with in java I do not see where I can set this value, in the @TimerTrigger annotation UseMonitor = false is not allowed. Does anyone know where this can be set?

Answer 1

@Anonymous Annotation does not supported runOnStartup as per the TimerTrigger code. But you can define the same in the configuration section on function.json

I haven't tried it out but looks like once you have build your application you can see the target folder --> azure-functions --> yourtimertriggernamespecified --> Timertriggername -->function.json

You can update this function.json file before deploying your application to azure or post deployment you can also update this function.json using KUDO console.

We have created the pull request to add missing configuration properties for the Timer Trigger annotation : https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-java-library/pull/154
