Create Magento 2 cron job task programmatically

Question

To sync data between 2 portal, I need some action manually trigger, on click of button need to schedule a cron via programmatically. I have found solution but it is for Magento 1.

Code for Magento 1 is given below :

$timecreated   = strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",  mktime(date("H"), date("i"), date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")));
$timescheduled = strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", mktime(date("H"), date("i")+ 5, date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")));
$jobCode = 'job_id';

try {
    $schedule = Mage::getModel('cron/schedule');
     $schedule->setJobCode($jobCode)
        ->setCreatedAt($timecreated)
        ->setScheduledAt($timescheduled)
        ->setStatus(Mage_Cron_Model_Schedule::STATUS_PENDING)
        ->save();
   } catch (Exception $e) {
     throw new Exception(Mage::helper('cron')->__('Unable to save Cron expression'));
   }

Magento 2 action code

use Magento\Backend\App\Action;
use Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context;
use Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\JsonFactory;
use ABC\Du\Helper\Data;

class Products extends Action
{

    protected $resultJsonFactory;

    protected $schedule;

    /**
     * @var Data
     */
    protected $helper;

    /**
     * @param Context $context
     * @param Model $schedule
     * @param JsonFactory $resultJsonFactory
     * @param Data $helper
     */
    public function __construct(
        Context $context,
        Magento\Cron\Model\Schedule $schedule,
        JsonFactory $resultJsonFactory,
        Data $helper
    )
    {
        $this->resultJsonFactory = $resultJsonFactory;
        $this->helper = $helper;
        $this->schedule = $schedule;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }

    /**
     * Collect relations data
     *
     * @return \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\Json
     */
    public function execute()
    {
        $timecreated   = strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",  mktime(date("H"), date("i"), date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")));
        $timescheduled = strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", mktime(date("H"), date("i")+ 5, date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")));
        $jobCode = 'job_id';

        try {
            // schedule job

        } catch (Exception $e) {
            // exception handle
        }

        $message = 'Cron schedule at ' . $timecreated . ' will execute at ' . $timescheduled;
        /** @var \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\Json $result */
        $result = $this->resultJsonFactory->create();

        return $result->setData(['success' => true, 'time' => $message]);
    }
}

Its throwing runtime exception

Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\RuntimeException): Type Error occurred when creating object

That is not what the OP asked for. They are looking to dynamically schedule an already registered cron job. The link you provided tells how to register a new cron job with Magento. – Louis B. Jul 21 '21 at 07:06
