COM+ scheduling?

[gdrenfrew]

Hello,

is there such a thing as scheduling in COM+? I'm looking for something comparable with SQL Server's Jobs Scheduler.

I'm trying to set up an alert system where the user can say "tell me this every monday at 5pm". So I want to be able to add jobs to the schedule, then at the desired time have a function in one of my packages execute.

Any pointers to the right direction are appreciated. Oh, I didn't want to use SQL Server as I'm trying to future proof this functionality (and not sure if we'll be on SQL Server forever).

Maybe scheduled task - instantiating a com object??

control panel->scheduled tasks

there is a thing called COM+ Events..which allow other objects to subscribe for any notifications..
but if u want ur clients to be notified from the COM+ server..COM+ is certainly NOT the way to go..

In these cases, a good alternative is to use straight UDP (datagram-based IP protocol) to deliver a message over the network. The Winsock Control or API makes this very easy.
