Hi Experts/Guru's,

How to create a workflow, which should run a background job where it has to monitor custom table for every 5mins and i have to send mails(to different level) using deadline monitoring?

I will send mail based few fields data in custom tables.

Do i need to create a container here ?

How do i create a background job for a workflow?

Can i determine ,mail id's in runtime(based on my validation?) ? (I will maintain them in my custom table)

Firstly i am very new to workflow and secondly i approached in below way before posting my query here in forum.

1.Created custom tables with required fields and with relationships.

2.Created a Function module, to retrieve data from my custom tables.

Now here i have a query -

Do i need to create Business Object with

1.Interfaces

2.Key fields

3.Attributes

4.Methods

5.Events

Or with just

1.Key fields

2.Method

3.Event

Can you someone pls guide/suggest.
