Use a Configurable Auto Start
Use a Configurable Auto Start component. In the embedded model, drag out a Day of Week Rule. Hook up all but Tuesday to an End component where the StartWorkflow flag is set to false. Hook up the Tuesday path to an end component where the StartWorkflow flag is set to true.
When deployed, have this workflow be scheduled to be run once daily. It will "fall out" of being run every day except Tuesday.
Hope this helps.

Another way to do this is to simply edit the schedule it runs on. To do this, go to the base component in the tree view of the project then go to the Publishing tab. Click the elipsis to edit the schedule.
Next remove the Every Day Patern and select DayOfWeekPatern.
Now go to the Day Pattern tab and select the days you want it to run.
Now go to the Times tab and add a new TimeOfDayPattern.
Save and publish. It should now only run once a week at the time and day you specified.
If you are using Autostart, Just make sure
Just make sure you have the "Start until Autostart does not run" UNCHECKED, otherwise it will run every minute when the Check Timeouts and Escalations runs.
Also, if you use a monitoring project, I would not make it a web service. Instead you should make it into a Windows Service. This way it is not dependent on IIS in any way. You can set the schedule to anything you want, and you can also use a named service account if you need to access any shared or network resource.

Runs once on schedule, but thats it...
Hey mlowe,
I configured an autostart project the way you did in your example. It ran right on time the first scheduled time. I then changed the schedule and republished and havent gotten it to work since. i've completely deleted the virtual directory and republished it, and changed the app pool, but it still doesnt run. But it will run if I browse to myservice.asmx and select invoke.
Have you or anyone else come across this before?
Make sure to restart the
Make sure to restart the LogicBase 2006 Server Extensions service after doing a schedule change and/or re-publish.
Also, you can change the schedule locally on the server without doing an edit of the project and re-publishing it by using the Task Tray Tool (Programs | Altiris | Workflow Designer | Tools | Task Tray Tool). Right-click on the Task Tray Tool when it is running and choose 'Servers', hover over the server hosting the project and then the project name itself and then select 'Edit Schedule'.
