Title: Scheduled daily task
Post by: lkeyser on June 09, 2016, 04:27:36 AM

Hi everyone
I need some assistance or guidance.
My problem
I have a list of products that need to be flagged, sell by date expired.
I need to run a scheduled task on a daily basis to flag these products.
Where do I add this in the code, or do I need to create an external application and use a timer event on a windows to get this right.
If anyone van help me.
Regards
Louis

Hi

I do this by setting a timer on the WebServer procedure - 360000 = 1 hour

In TakeWindowEvent(), After Parent call I use this code for a BackUp procedure

        DateLastBackup = s_web.GetHostValue('DateLastBackup')
        IF TODAY() > DateLastBackup THEN
            START(BackUpCopy,50000)
            s_web.SetHostValue('DateLastBackup',TODAY())
        END

you can do it in a separate program, or on a separate thread from the webServer procedure, as Carl suggests.

cheers
