Scheduling jobs and Notifications
CYPEX is in charge of handling everything from rapid prototyping to full application development.
When building a full application, it can become necessary to schedule jobs. CYPEX offers the means to make that happen using pg_timetable, a job scheduler developed by CYBERTEC. It’s able to handle all kinds of job execution tasks.
Let’s take a look at a sample use case:
- When a contract is entered, somebody else should be notified
- If there is no response, try again in two weeks
The way to integrate job scheduling with CYPEX is by using standard SQL tables. In pg_timetable, every job is stored in tables. By writing database-side code, you have a transactional way of scheduling jobs.
