I want to have Scheduled Action that executes one after another from 1AM to 6AM everyday.

How can I achieve this?

Since the only menus I have are "Execute Every" and "Next Execution Date" I do not know how can I mention the specific hours range. I am using Odoo 11.

You can use a wrapper action which is scheduled to run more frequently.

def action_function():

    # you will need to store a value (is_running: True|False) in the database, maybe in ir.config_parameter

    if current_hour not in (1, 2, 3, 4, 5):

        return None

    elif is_running:

        return None

    else:

        # Mark that the action is in process, have to commit to the database

        is_running = True

        self.env.cr.commit()

        # Then call your actual action function 

        do_some_real_thing()

        # Mark that the action is done

        is_running = False

Basically, the wrapper action of below steps repeats frequently like every 10 minutes.

• Check the time, if not between 1am and 6am, do nothing;


• Check if the action is already running, if yes, do nothing;


• Else, mark that the action as in process, and do the actual thing,
  once done, mark the action as finished.
