Can we use Jenkins to complete Jira's "Scheduled" task?

[Simon Cao]

I'm using Jira Data Center and there's no add-on "Scheduled" , so I'm thinking if I can use Jenkins instead of "Scheduled" in Jira ?

You can use anything with a schedule to do things in Jira by setting them up to hit the REST API to do what you need.  (I tend to write scripted services inside Jira as they run on a cron expression, but there's nothing wrong with doing it externally over REST)
