Solution ID: P4800
GOAL:
How to schedule a future action based upon a database event.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Fathom
FIX:
There is no automatic option on Fathom to schedule an action to execute at a determined time.
However, a viable way to implement this is by using the Perl script environment, available with Fathom 2.0. These are the steps to perform:
1) Associate your threshold with an action that generates a flag indicating that an action needs to be executed. This flag can be a dummy file that will be used as a marker file.
2) In the scheduled batch job, add logic to check the existence of the marker file.
3) If the file is available perform the necessary task and delete the marker file.
