Need Help with Recurrence Rules

[Adrian Crum]

I've spent hours looking through the recurrence rule code and doing
Google searches, but I'm still having a hard time understanding how to
set up recurrence rules. Has there been any documentation done on this?

Also, it appears to me there is no way to set up a recurrence that
occurs on intervals like:

1. The second Sunday in May
2. The first Monday of every month

or am I missing something?

Is there a UI for entering recurrence rules?

Any help would greatly appreciated!

Hi Adrian,

There are a total of four entities namely JobSandbox, RecurrenceRule,
RecurrenceInfo, RuntimeData (Optinal) that are required to create a schedule
service.
From UI there are two steps to create a recurrence rule. Second step is
optional. This is the step where the data is stored in RuntimeData entity.
To create a RecurreceRule go to
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/scheduleJob

Step 1 :
Lets suppose we want to define a recurrence rule on createPerson service
than we can enter values on page reached by above URL like
 Job = Create a person
 serviceName = createPerson
 Frequency = How the service will be called - is it after every second,
every minute, every week etc. Select appropriate value from select box
 Interval = It will a interger value - if specified than the service will be
invoked after the interval mentioned
(Say we have selected Frequency = MINUTELY, Interval = 5 - the service will
be invoked after every 5 minutes)
Other fields have good description on this form itself.

Once you submit this form, it will take you to second step. As we know that
the service createPerson takes two required attributes i.e. firstName and
lastName namely. Enter the value for these fields (and optional fields if
you want) in second step. Submit this form. So we have now created a
schedule service.

Now you can status of the job in the job list at
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/jobList


For creating a recurrence rule you can refer to the file
ManufacturingScheduledServices.xml

Rest of comments inline.

I do not see any kind of document supporting these artifacts either.

I think these are not supported yet.
