Where is EEM "event time cron" ? Nexus 7706 NXOS-6.2.12

[p-blalock]

I'm trying to create an EEM applet to do automatic tftp backu on my Nexus 7706 running 6.2.12, but I'm not seeing the "event timer cron" option under the created event manager applet.  Do I need to create a crom policy to get this to work?  Here are the options I see under my applet:

(config)# event manager applet BACKUP-CFG-2TFTP
N7K-North(config-applet)# event ?
cli   Create a cli event specification
counter   Create a counter event
fanabsent   Create fanabsent event specification
fanbad   Create fanbad event specification
fib   FIB related event
module   Create a 'module' event specification
module-failure   Create a 'module-failure' event specification
neighbor-discovery   Show CDP new neighbors
oir   Create Online-Insertion-Removal event specification
policy-default   Use the event in the system policy being overridden
snmp   Create a 'snmp' event specification.
storm-control   Create a storm control event specification
syslog   Create a syslog event specification
sysmgr   System manager related events
tag   Event tag identifier
test   Create a 'test' event specification
track   Create a 'track' event specification

So the real question is how can I get my applet to fire using cron on my Nexus 7706?

Thanks

There is no timer event detector in NX-OS 6.x.  NX-OS 7.x adds support for this.  In the meantime, you can use "feature scheduler" to run scripts at a specific time.  Applets cannot be scheduled.

At Nexus 5548 with NX-OS 7.x, there is not option "feature scheduler", but there is right option "feature evmed" which is ment in this guide Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide:

event timer { cron cronentry string

Note	To use this command, you must first enable the feature evmed command to enable generic event detectors.

After you enable this feature at your Nexus, you can use the same configuration EEM applet like in Cisco IOS at switches or routers.
