How can I write a application which automaticly run itself

Farukca

Hi;
I want to write a report which works like a listener program.
For example; It must run in every 5 minutes by itself, without any control of any user,

This report will just read informations from an XML file and import these informations to the navision database; it will work like dataport,

Do you have any idea about how can I do this ?

Thanks,,,

What about using the OnTimer-Trigger of the Main-Form?

You can use Navision Timer on some client or on application server called from single instance codeunit... If you want more info, ask there... 8)

Hello,

Why don’t you use the “Job Scheduler”. See Service Management-> Setup -> Job Scheduler.
With this tool It’s possible to run codeunit’s, reports and dataports.
And you don’t need a Service Management licence for this tool.

Good luck

I don't have the service management license but I can't seem to set up the job scheduler. My license restricts me from the form and the table. How do I configure the job scheduler without the service management granule. I must be missing something.

Thanks.

There are several ways to do this, I guess the big question is it ok that it stops if there is not a session running? If the answer is no then you need to use NAS.

Essentially you will need to use a timer from either a form (non-nas) or from an infinitely looping codeunit (NAS).

Simply set the timer interval property to to appropriate amount of ms and put something like this in the OnTimer Trigger

MyReport.RUN

The only problem is that this will only run if you have a session open and someone has run the form. Otherwise you will need to use NAS to open a controlling codeunit that runs the report.

There is a granule called Job Scheduler ID number 5950. It is part of Service Management but you don't need any other Service Management granules to make it work.

I'll go order than granule. Thanks.
