Scheduling question

ckacoroski

Hi,

Is there any way to have a changable schedule? Normally, I need to run the imports once per day, but for the first 2 weeks of a semester, I need to run them once per hour. What would be ideal is a way for me to set an LastUpdate and UpdateInterval attributes in SystemSettings and then have schedule rule like so:

If Current_timestamp-SystemSettings.LastUpdate > UpdateInterval then
RunUpdateProcess.

RunUpdateProcess will then set SystemSettings.LastUpdate to Current_Timestamp and run the update.

Is such a thing possible?

cheers,

ski,

I don't see any reason why this would not work. BTW, you probably realize that UpdateInterval would be SystemSettings.UpdateInterval.

What I do with concepts like this is do a quick "proof of concept" in a Test.bsv. It should be easy enough to do with your example without touching any of your huge database.
