Mr. incredible,
I did the search before i posted my query; didn't get any valuable thread on the similar issue.

Kumarmani,
Thanks for your reply.
As per the link provided by you the wrapper concept is useful but consider the case where i need to run the job only on second friday of each month.

in this case how would get the condition where can i check that today's friday is second frriday of the current month or not.
I don't want to hard code the Date.

Regards,
Ankur Jain
