Recurring Work Efforts
Locked
 
|
I see there is a recurrenceInfoId field in the WorkEffort entity, but I
can't find a way to set up a recurring work effort. Does anyone know how that can be done? -Adrian |

I think it's only used by background code at the minute, or in other words no UI has been created for it yet. There is a simplistic UI that populates the entity in webtools for the service engine job scheduler thingy. -David On Jun 25, 2008, at 9:47 AM, Adrian Crum wrote: > I see there is a recurrenceInfoId field in the WorkEffort entity, > but I can't find a way to set up a recurring work effort.

David,
Thanks for the info! Would it be worthwhile for me to add some code to the WorkEffort component to set up a recurring work effort? It's something we need here. -Adrian David E Jones wrote: > > I think it's only used by background code at the minute, or in other > words no UI has been created for it yet. > > There is a simplistic UI that populates the entity in webtools for the > service engine job scheduler thingy. > > -David > > > On Jun 25, 2008, at 9:47 AM, Adrian Crum wrote: > >> I see there is a recurrenceInfoId field in the WorkEffort entity, but >> I can't find a way to set up a recurring work effort.

Yes, I think so. I've tried to encourage people to use re-usable entities like WorkEffort and RecurrenceInfo/Rule to implement these things over the years, and so there is some code in place for them. Even recently Bilgin did some work on this for "happy hour" promotions: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1756 There is a bit of code already implemented to determine when a recurrence applies and such, but I know more work needs to be done. There are also certain fields on the RecurrenceRule entity that I'm not sure are really supported, along the lines of what you were asking about in the other thread for things like "the first Monday of each week at 2PM" and such. -David On Jun 25, 2008, at 11:57 AM, Adrian Crum wrote: > David, > > Thanks for the info! > > Would it be worthwhile for me to add some code to the WorkEffort > component to set up a recurring work effort?

Cool. I'll get it working for the existing recurrence rules, then tackle
new rule sets later. -Adrian David E Jones wrote: > > Yes, I think so. > > I've tried to encourage people to use re-usable entities like WorkEffort > and RecurrenceInfo/Rule to implement these things over the years, and so > there is some code in place for them.

Btw, I was thinking a recurring work effort would create child
workefforts - that are related to the parent workeffort as a "Scheduled Interval" type. What do you think? -Adrian Adrian Crum wrote: > Cool.

Wouldn't that result in a lot of redundant WorkEffort records, and the need for background processes to run to keep them up to date and consistent, and a lot of risk that they would get out of date and inconsistent? -David On Jun 25, 2008, at 12:30 PM, Adrian Crum wrote: > Btw, I was thinking a recurring work effort would create child > workefforts - that are related to the parent workeffort as a > "Scheduled Interval" type.

How else would it work?
I create a recurring workeffort for depositing my paycheck at the bank. It repeats every two weeks. If the recurring workeffort creates a child workeffort, then I can update the child's status to "Complete" once I deposit my paycheck. If there is only one workeffort, how do I update a single instance of it every two weeks? -Adrian David E Jones wrote: > > Wouldn't that result in a lot of redundant WorkEffort records, and the > need for background processes to run to keep them up to date and > consistent, and a lot of risk that they would get out of date and > inconsistent? > > -David > > > On Jun 25, 2008, at 12:30 PM, Adrian Crum wrote: > >> Btw, I was thinking a recurring work effort would create child >> workefforts - that are related to the parent workeffort as a >> "Scheduled Interval" type.
