Running Repeating Component Requests

---

You can define repeating component requests using either components or component jobs, and you can schedule component requests to run repeatedly at specific times over specific intervals. In order to run repeating component requests, both the Server Request Broker and Server Request Processor components must be running. If you need to run repeating requests at unspecified times or intervals, run component requests instead using a defined component job.

NOTE:  It is not possible to start a business service directly as a repeating component request. To accomplish this, you first need to include the business service in a workflow process. You can then run the workflow process as a repeating component request using the Workflow Process Batch Manager component.

To run repeating component requests

Navigate to the Enterprise Operations screen.
Click the Repeating Component Requests view tab.

The Repeating Component Requests view appears.

In the Repeating Component Requests list, click the menu button and then New Record.
In the Component/Job field, click the drop-down list and select the component or component job.

If you want to use a component job for your repeating component request, you must first define the component job. For information of defining component jobs, see Component Job Administration.

In the Repeat Interval field, type in the number of units in the interval between repetitions of the component request (such as 2).
In the Repeat Unit field, click the drop-down list and select the type of unit in the interval between repetitions of the component request (such as Days).
In the Repeat From field, select the instance from which the next repetition of the request should be executed.

To select the instance when the previous iteration of the request was:

Scheduled to start, select Scheduled Start.
Actually started, select Actual Start.
Ended, select End.
In the Repetitions field, type in the number of times that the component request will be repeated.
In the Expiration date field, click the drop-down list and select the date when the repeating component request will expire.
In the Delete Interval field, type in the number of units in the duration before the repeating component request will be deleted (such as 20).
In the Delete Unit field, click the drop-down list and select the type of unit in the duration before the repeating component request will be deleted (such as Days).
Click the menu button and then click Save Record.
In the Component Request Parameters list, change the value of parameters as appropriate in the Value field.
In the Repeating Component Requests list, click the menu button and then Submit Repeating Request.

The Status field changes from Creating to Active.

Figure 18 shows an example of creating a repeating component request for the EIM component that will repeat every two days after the schedule start time of the previous iteration for 10 times.
