Checking Every Hour; Triggering Once Per
Day
Welcome to week #12 of
the KnowledgeSync Educational Bulletin for Business
Partners and clients who are using Sage KnowledgeSync
with the SalesLogix CRM application.
This week's question:
I have an event that runs every hour to monitor overdue
activities. When an activity becomes overdue, I want to
alert the assigned owner. But I want to alert an owner
only once per day for any single activity that is
overdue. I know how to trigger repeatedly (every hour)
or trigger just once - but is it possible to trigger
once per day?
Answer:
Fortunately for you, it is.
When you create your query that identifies overdue
activities, you need to specify a "unique column" for
the query - this is the column that uniquely identifies
a triggered record. Typically, you'd choose the
"activity ID" field as the unique.
In this scenario, you want your unique to be a
combination of the activity ID field AND the current
date as follows:
sysdba.ACTIVITY.ACTIVITYID+'{%Current
Date%}'
(Note that we can combined or concatenated the activity
ID and current date fields into a single column. We have
then flagged that concatenated column as our "unique".)
This way, once a particular activity is triggered for a
given day, the activity will not trigger again - for
that day. If, however, the activity is still overdue
tomorrow, the event will trigger - once - for that
record when the event first runs on tomorrow's date.
