TCPIP Inbound Schedules - Service Schedule —
TCP/IP HL7 V3 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.

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.
|
|
At Fixed Rate
|
An indicator of whether a fixed-rate execution or fixed-delay
execution is used. This property applies to the Timer Service configuration
only, and is used when the Schedule Type property
is set to Repeated. Select true to
indicate fixed-rate; select false to indicate
fixed-delay.
-
Fixed-Rate –
Each execution is scheduled relative to the scheduled time of the
initial execution. If an execution is delayed for any reason (such
as garbage collection or other background activity), two or more executions
occur in rapid succession to “catch up.” In the long run,
the frequency of execution is exactly the reciprocal of the specified
period, assuming the system clock underlying Object.wait(long) is accurate.
-
Fixed-Delay –
Each execution is scheduled relative to the actual time of the previous
execution. If an execution is delayed for any reason (such as garbage
collection or other background activity), subsequent executions are
delayed as well. As a result, the frequency of execution is generally
slightly lower than the reciprocal of the specified period, assuming
the system clock underlying Object.wait(long) is
accurate.
