Hi, Yes, you can set the job to be triggered by SCM change using the same cron style configuration for the polling interval. I have jobs that poll only at a particular hour as you described. If there are any changes, the job starts and if there are no changes, the job does not run. The polling will only occur at the time(s) set in the configuration.
If you have a job that runs longer than the polling interval and there are any number of changes, the job will be queued to run. If the job is already on the queue, it will not be queued again but will run as expected when it appropriate. It will run with the latest scm data at the time the job starts, not running with the state of the scm at the time that it was queued.
