Jobscheduler as a service

remcomee

Could someone help me running the job scheduler (default or adjusted for customer) as a service on a database server.
This server is also running NAS.

Database/Client is runnning on 4.0 SP2

Investigate how the job scheduler works. HINT: It's a form with a timer event that checks the jobs that are set up and executes them a certain way.

So instead of the form (NAS can't handle visual elements) you implement the job scheduler in a single instance codeunit, and start that through NAS. Don't forget: NAS doesn't know how to run dataports, so you can't do that through NAS.

You can also ask Waldo about their product, they already have this as a 3rd party product. Check their prices against what it would cost you to develop this.

It is a really easy tweak to change the Jobscheduler form into a singleinstance codeunit.

Send me a mail and I'll try to find the objects somewhere.

Change the codeunits to run modal with the IF CODEUNIT.RUN function and use the GETLASTERRORMESSAGE function to store in a log table.

I even have a customer with a critical process sending an sms and email warning if a certain interface fails for whatever reason.

Why not add it to tips and trick for anyone else who would like this?
