Hi all,

I developed an EAR project and I need to schedule it in order to run it every day.

How can I do??

If you are looking for any 3rd party schedular product which fits perfectly fine with a J2EE app server then <b>FLUX</b> is the best option.

This is upto J2EE 1.3. If your app server is J2EE 1.4 compliant then you can user the Timer service which is a part of EJB 2.1 specifications.

Or you set up a Servlet that starts up with the server and call some threads which trigger once a day your necessary beans.

Hi

To be honest, I have not tried for SAP Projects. When I was in JAVA developement, we created batch (.bat) file and set it in windows scheduler. It deploys auotmatically into the server.

The same way, In EP, we need to find the server deployment file path from visual admin (e.g web container or servlet.etcc). Then we can put our files in that area. But if errors occurs in this type deployment, we don't know how to trace it out. (So not preferable).

or else you can use any testing tools like winnrunner or QTP scripts for this (Very expensive)
