I needed a scheduled agent for a relatively simple task : email notifications. @MailSend would have done the job swiftly.
I couldn’t find a way to make a scheduled agent coded in @Formula.
Now, those last few years I’ve done mostly Java and LotusScript agents so I’m not sure, but I seem to remember a time when it was possible to have @Formula scheduled agents. Could someone refresh my memory ?
Also, I can’t find a rationale why not. Care to enlight me ?
Subject: I believe you can…
…it’s just harder than heck to find…
Create your @Formula agent, then right-click in the Document Selection or Action pane, and select ‘Agent Properties’.
You should be able to set the Runtime schedule there?
It got moved a few versions ago, I had on open PMR about it at the time, but it’s gone nowhere…
Subject: Yes we can !
Thanks a lot !
Funny. I’ve been developing on Notes for 20 years and I still find myself puzzled at times. I guess this convoluted path is a leftover from the somewhat unfinished business of moving Designer to Eclipse.
Subject: Glad that worked!
and thanks for the reply!
I agree - sometimes i wonder!
I find it funny that I had a PMR open awhile back and that was was of the questions I asked - why did they take the option away - it took her a couple days to hear back from the ‘developers’, but they found the option. Apparently hiding it makes perfect sense (to the developers!)
