Start event timer

Question

Hi All, I have a requirement that process need to scheduled to run on Jun 2nd every year, so I have used start event timer and configured timer recurrence as 'Yearly' and June 2nd. 
 But system triggers the process on every month 2nd, let say today Jan 2nd. can any one suggest is there any configuration missed here? Appian version in 16.2 FYI, I have tried in 18.3 Appian cloud version, it is also have same behaviour.

Thanks.

Hi Venu, 
 I have tried the same thing in 18.3 , am also facing the same issue, seems to be an issue/default behavior. Work around for this is try to create a expression rule, which calculates the difference between today and jun 2 of every year. Configure the same in " Don't start this node until " - specify the difference as the input and select the days in the drop down. 
 Please address me if it works.

It seems existing issue in Appian . Please raise a support ticket. 
Also, as suggested by others, you can implement the logic (XOR gate or expression rule) to restrict the process, if it is not 2nd June of that year. Thanks
