scheduling on event

hello,

I wonder how long the server will wait for the event.

For example, a report is scheduled every first day of the month. If the event happen the 15th day, does the scheduling work ?

thanks.

It should work.  We have a similar scenario -- the file is expected to show up anywhere between the first and fifth days of the month.  The reports are scheduled monthly, starting at midnight on the first day of the month.  They wait patiently until the Event fires.

There is an alternative -- if you want the reports to run any time the Event fires, then schedule the reports for a shorter recurrence period, such as daily or hourly.  If the file is only generated monthly, then the reports will only run monthly.  But if the reports need to be re-run for any reason, you can simply dump a new trigger file.

The difference between your situation and Vincent's, is that your reports are scheduled "Monthly". Therefore the 'established time frame' (basically the open window for listening) is the whole month, whereas in Vincent's case the reports are scheduled "every first day of the month", which is a much smaller window.

No, ours are scheduled the same way -- "Nth day of the month", with "Day" set to "1".

Hi Vincent,

If you refer to the Admin Guide (Chapter 23 Scheduling Objects > Managing Events) you will see the following:

 

If your event is scheduled:

     A) on Event

     B) on the first day of each month

I believe it needs both conditions to actually run.

In other words I think the event needs to happen on the first day of the month for the schedule to run.

When working with events, keep in mind that an object's recurrence schedule

still determines how frequently the object runs. For instance, a daily report

that is dependent upon a file-based event will run, at most, once a day (so

long as the file that you specify appears every day). In addition, the event

must occur within the time frame established when you actually schedule

the event-based report.

Hi Vincent,

Could you explain your query in detail?

Whenever we set an event for the report to get scheduled, that information is stored in CMS database. the CMS server continously checks if the event has occured or not, this is called polling.

So whenever the event occurs the corresponding reports gets scheduled. Kindly let me know if your query is with respect to file based or scheduled based event.
