I'm aware that you can run a background process every x seconds by setting it up in a VP. 1. Does the process run every x seconds for each user logged in with that VP? 2. Similarly if the same process is activated via multiple VPs each aligned to a different user types with different user access levels, is only one process running in the background or many?

Yes
Many

Mmm. Could you provide same facility connected maybe to the scheduler so that we can run a background process at Application level? The scheduler for now can only go down to once a day.

Rod,

I have a process that runs every minute.

When creating a new scheduling item, after entering the information on the scheduling tab, go to the Textual form tab and change the conditions to something like:

If CURRENT_TIMESTAMP>TIME_ADD(SystemSettings.ProcessLastRan,1/60) Then
YourProcess

SystemSettings.ProcessLastRan is a TimeStamp that gets updated to the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in YourProcess.

RocketRod

Thanks for that. Will do.

Cheers Rod

@Bob ... thanks for the idea on special schedules.

I built on this idea & documented another process at:
