How to schedule Jenkins build in pipeline script with custom parameters

Question

I have a Jenkins job with several parameters, each with default value, for example:

SUITE_NAME: business/common.xml     
BROWSER_NAME: ff

I need the job to be started 2 times by cron, with different input parameters, like:

1st launch: 5AM

SUITE_NAME: business/common.xml
BROWSER_NAME: ff

2st launch: 7AM

SUITE_NAME: events/some-other.xml
BROWSER_NAME: ff

So SUITE_NAME and probably some other parameters could vary. How can I set this in the pipeline scrip of in job settings via Jenkins interface?

The only solution I see now is to trigger the build each hour, get current time, and change the value of SUITE_NAME depending on whether it's 5AM or 7AM but this really looks weird.

thanks in advance.

why not two separate pipelines (cron 5AM for one and 7AM for the other) triggering the target job with different parameters? — hakamairi, Feb 19 '19 at 12:42
because conceptually it is the same parameterized build and I do not want to clone other settings. — Bohdan Nesteruk, Feb 19 '19 at 14:59

Solved by using this answer and plugin:

add build parameter in jenkins build schedule

https://github.com/jwmach1/parameterized-scheduler

00 05 * * 1-5 %SUITE_NAME=business/common.xml
05 05 * * 1-5 %SUITE_NAME=events/some-other.xml

etc...
