[Solved] Using a process to execute based off of scheduled events

[Brian Lafleur]

I want to use the RadScheduler to create different events in a calendar, once the events are created I want to have a process running everyday that looks for things scheduled then executes based off of them.  I don't understand how the process will know when to run because only one record is created and controlled by RecurrenceRule field.  How is the demon to know when it is suppose to run if there are not in individual records to look at, only

DTSTART:20091007T100000Z

DTEND:20091007T113000Z

RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=10;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,WE

is there another way that 3rd party processes can know when its actually been scheduled?

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian,

Yes, parsing the recurrence rule will allow you to get the dates on which the recurring appointment occurs. Here is a couple of articles which will help you with this approach:
