Events based on time?
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2015 5:24 pm
Just wondering if there were plans to have a Process to be triggered based on Date/time?
So now that the DIN bug is logged , the next thought is to say all is good and the HTL is full and ready and I am going to start my Brew Day @ 06:00 on Saturday the 5th, so I would like the 'HTL to Temp' process to run/trigger say @ 04:00 , so start the Process the day(s) before but nothing happens until 04:00 on that day/date.
Now I know you can do a count down timer but every time I want to do this I would have to recalculate the the difference between now and 04:00 on that day, I know not difficult but not too efficient.
Now thinking in the Process have a "Start Time", then on process start a simple query to a NTP server, calculate the date/time dif based on your TZ and start a count down timer, just a thought as not sure if the BCS has room for a running Date/Time process, then all that DST and other stuff to ruin your day..
Thanks
