Hello everyone!



I have a customer that is running the OECGI to deliver some reports to the web. This is running from a novell server that forces all of the users to log out at a specified time in order to do backups. This is causing some problems. Is there a way to close OI at a specified time so that we can use the Scheduled Tasks utility to restart it in the morning? Thanks!

<QUOTE>Many ways but an IDLEPROC that checks for a specified time then sends a DESTROY message to the SYSTEM might be a good way.

<QUOTE>Sounds fine in theory but what happens when the OI system is running a long process such as a string or reports? How to you shut that down without causing a system haemmorage?

<QUOTE>It's all in the design ;-). As you know WHEN you're going to want to schedule the close down you'd ensure that any routines that'll be running at that time are checking for this and recover gracefully.

<QUOTE>Okay, this is my plan, shoot holes in it please. We restrict access to the page that calls the INET_SUBROUTINE based on time. Lets say if it is after 10:00PM then then can no longer run a report. Also if by some chance the circumvent that and run a report, I check the time in the INET_SUBROUTINE and if it is after 10:00PM it will report an error back to the user saying it's to late to run the report. The report itself has never taken longer than 5 minutes to run. So I set the IDLEPROC procedure for 10:30PM to destroy the system. Would this hopefully be sufficent to keep OI from messing itself.



Also, thanks for the help folks, I really appreciate it!!

<QUOTE>Sounds like a plan - ensure the page is set not to cache etc and use the belt and braces change to the INET_ routine as well. With a bit of trial and error this should give the results you want.
