Time-driven

Time-driven Input Agents can actively fetch data from a source at a user-defined time. The times can be specified classically in cron syntax, but also in simplified form. In addition, time-driven Input Agents can be triggered via HTTP or Message.

Notes


  • The last start time and the next scheduled start time of a profile can be viewed in the Control Center.

  • Directory names can be dynamically created in all data sources with date placeholders. The directory name C:/tmp/<yyyyMMdd>, for example, will be replaced by C:/tmp/20080601.

  • The system variable VAR_SYS_TRIGGER_CHANNEL_ID (or MSG_CALL_VAR_SYS_TRIGGER_CHANNEL_ID ) allows you to replace the partner channel of a time-driven Input Agent (any type) by the channel with this ID (value of the variable) (details see there).
