does manual triggering of a airflow DAG interfere with the scheduled airflow trigger?

Question

I want to use airflow DAG to run some jobs. I have scheduled the expression to every 25 mins, like */25 * * * *. for instance, it seems to run, like at 6:25, 6:50, and at 7 as well, but I want to run it at 7:15, not at 7.

as an alternative, I want to know, if I manually trigger a DAG, will the next trigger be affected by this, like will the next trigger be delayed, or will it continue on its own schedule.

The airflow version I am using is 1.10.4

Answer 1

I've been maintaining a daily schedule .

Manually triggering a DAG does not impact the scheduled triggering of the Airflow DAGs. It will continue to run as per schedule .

Answer 2

Although the accepted answer is correct, It may help someone knowing that on Airflow v2.0.0 there was a bug that caused exactly the opposite. Manually triggered DAGs did interfere with the scheduled execution.
Gracefully that bug was fixed on v2.0.1, details on the issue here.

Hope that helps, it took me a while to figure it out!

When the dag is scheduled next to the manual run, the SLA miss alert is triggered even though the manual-triggered dag is done in a matter of seconds.
