►Your Feeback Please!◄ Scheduled processes

BenHayat

Hi;

I have a nightly scheduled processes setup, that each starts in 5 minutes after the previous one starting from midnight. As the following picture shows.

Is this a proper way of having Aware to execute a series of processes? Divided into predefined starting times? Or should they all be set at 00.00 (midnight) and then have Aware to schedule them accordingly?

Hence: there is no special reason in the order of execution.

Thank you in advance!

Be careful setting execution time to a specific value as I have had issues in the past of non execution due to time not matching (seconds value I guess). I have therefore had to do some workarounds.

I'm facing it right now. So how do you tell it when to do it?

So Rod, would you say I should say:

If CURRENT_TIME=>'00:05:00' AND  CURRENT_TIME<'00:06:00' then DoSomething

To force it withing 60 seconds to activate?

Rod, I enhanced the time range so each process activation can fall in within 60 seconds.
Note: Each process can ONLY be executed ONCE every 24 hours.

Here it is. Is this better to safeguard against what you pointed out?

RocketRod

Yes that's the idea. Not sure how long your processes take to execute for you would need to add another check if they take less than a minute. Otherwise they will execute more than once a day.

Exactly! Based on all the testes (on light weight data), the rest take long enough so each process does not fall in in the range of 60 seconds.
Thank you for bringing at point up in your first post. The second condition helped to make it tighter.

I've always used = and I believe my scheduled processes have run each night. One way to see for sure is to create a log entry when scheduled processes run.

Hi Tom;
Yes, all my schedules start with " >= " and I also have a log (record created in DB). So far in development with light weight, they all start exactly at first "second" for each minute, which is nice. For now I'm giving each process 5 minutes to complete, but as data grows, I might span that a bit more.
