Scheduling start process

Avatar

Level 4
Hi,

Is it possible to schedule the execution of a short-lived process? I would like it to be invoked periodically (ex: dayly, weekly, montly). I suppose I can manage this by writing a custom java application, which calls LiveCycle service, using quartz. Is it a true approach and what other alternatives can be considered?

Thanks

I suppose you could also create one main process that uses the Wait service then call you process and then loop back to the wait.



You'll have to start it once, but once it's started it will invoke your process periodically.

Thanks Jasmin, I will try your suggestion in designing my process.

As an alternative can we use Timer event type, which will throw an event at the end of a specific time (or when the time comes)? Then, the other process should catch this event.

Hi,

I'd like to do something that familiar but having a problem of starting. Was you able to make it work as Jasmin suggested? If so, can you please share how

did you get it work.

Thanks,

I don't think its difficult to to. See the simple workflow designed to invoke another workflow once in every 5 days.
