what could be the scenario to use BOE scheduler in bods

[former_member186160]

Hi all,

while creating a batch job schedule in bods, we have two options for scheduling - either of these:

-- data services scheduler

-- BOE scheduler

i have always used data services scheduler, and this is the default option as well.

i am not sure of what is the scenario to use BOE scheduler and what is the criteria to decide on which of these options.

Can anyone please suggest on this?

Regards,

Swetha

Thanks Shailesh,

can anyone provide the steps to schedule a job from BOE scheduler for a scenario to wait for a file to be generated and then to trigger a job?

You Just simply schedule your job using BOE scheduler and implement logic in your job using file_exists function to check whether file has been generated or not and if not generated then use sleep function to put your job on sleep mode.

...or combine file_exists and sleep into a single wait_for_file function call

Dirk and Shailesh,

ok i will try using wait_for_file function.

I tried scheduling a job with BOE scheduler [job was simple, reads file and loads to target table, didn't have any wait_for_file kind of functions], and the job executed just like how it would with a DS scheduler, hardly noticed any difference.
