Note:

Unity Scheduler timers can only be configured to automatically execute using the Unity Scheduler.

To configure a Unity Scheduler timer:

  1. With Unity Scheduler Timer selected in the Timer Type drop-down list, select the Document Type from the drop-down list that will be affected by the timer.
  2. If you want the interval to execute based on the length of time within the queue, select the After time in queue option. Enter the number of Day(s), Business Day(s), Hour(s), or Minute(s).
    Note:

    Business Day(s) is only available if a Work Calendar has been assigned to the life cycle.

  3. Set the status of the First Item Only check box. If enabled, the timer will only execute against the first item found in the queue, instead of executing against every item found in the queue. The first item found is determined by the lowest Document Handle value in the queue. Example: This option can be used to send out a notification that a queue contains items that need attention. If First Item Only is not selected, if the queue contains 100 items, the notification is sent 100 times (once for each item).
    Note:

    If your business process requires that documents are processed by the timer in the order specified for the queue by the Sort Documents By option of the queue's Advanced tab, select the Respect Queue Sort Order option. If this option is not selected, documents are still processed in the order they are returned from the database. Only use this option if necessary, as it may slow performance.

  4. If the Log Start/Stop option is selected, every time the selected timer is executed or stopped, it will be logged in the system's database.
    Note:

    All logs will show the database server time, rather than the processing workstation's time.

  5. If you want the timer to execute on items that are owned by the user configured to run the timer, select Respect Ownership. All items not owned by the user configured to run the timer will not be processed by the timer.
  6. If you want the timer to clear the scoped property bag after the timer service finishes processing each item, select Clear Scoped Property Bag After Service Executes Each Item.
  7. Save the repository to save the changes to the timer.
  8. Once the timer is configured in OnBase Studio, the timer's Unity Scheduler tasks need to be configured in the Unity Management Console. For more information, see the Unity Scheduler module reference guide.

Once tasks have been configured for the Unity Scheduler Timer using the Unity Management Console, any configured tasks associated with that timer can be viewed in the Scheduler Tasks tab.
