Abiquo cron jobs

This page describes the standard cron jobs that run on Abiquo servers

Abiquo 6.1.x

This section describes three scenarios for the introduction of new Abiquo billing.

With new Abiquo billing running in production

After upgrade to 6.1.x and before you activate new billing

In Abiquo 6.1, we introduced the new on-premise billing, which uses the same property as public cloud billing to configure its cron job. We also introduced the new price factors, which have a cron check.

If you are using old billing, you should disable new billing in Configuration view as part of the upgrade process.
