TCPIP Inbound Schedules - Service Schedule TCP/IP
HL7 V2 Inbound Adapter
The following table lists and describes the properties that appear on the Service Schedule page
of the Properties Editor accessed from the Connectivity Map. These properties configure the
scheduler used by the TCP/IP server that executes the business tasks (Collaboration rules) over
the existing connection. This scheduler affects the actual business rules you define.
You can use either of the following two Java EE schedulers, both of which provide the
functionality required by the inbound TCP/IP server.
■ Timer Service – Available for Java EE, this scheduler is configured using the At Fixed Rate,
Delay , Period, and Schedule Typeproperties.
■ Work Manager – Available for Java EE (JCA 1.5 and above), this scheduler is configured
using the Delay, Period, and Schedule Typeproperties.
TABLE 8 Connectivity Map - TCPIP Inbound Schedules - Service Schedule
Name Description
Scheduler The scheduler type for this inbound communication. Select one of the following
options:
■ Timer Service – The task is scheduled through the Java EE Timer Service.
Timer Service is supported by Java EE.
■ Work Manager – The task is scheduled through the Java EE Work Manager.
Work Manager is supported by Java EE (JCA 1.5 and above).
If your container doesn’t support JCA Work Manager, select Timer Service.
Schedule Type An indicator of whether the task is scheduled to occur once or be repeated. This
property applies to both the Timer Service and the Work Manager. Select one of
the following options:
■ OneTime – The task is scheduled for one-time execution.
■ Repeated – The task is scheduled for repeated execution at regular intervals
defined by Period property, described below.
Delay An integer indicating the length of time (in milliseconds) before the task is
executed. This property applies to both the Timer Service and the Work Manager.
Period An integer indicating the length of time (in milliseconds) between successive task
executions. This property applies to both the Timer Service and the Work
Manager. This is used when the Schedule Type property is set to Repeated.
