I have an unusual situation. I have a piece of equipment that sends me its IP every 45 minutes. Once I get the transmission I have to initiate a series of calls to retrieve a certain number of records. The unit only sends me the IP and a value so I have to set it up to send then wait to receive, send then wait to receive e.t.c.

Sometimes though I will lose one of the transmissions. So what I need to do is set it up so that one minute after I receive the first IP transmission I check to see if the dataset has any nulls and if it does throw it out and try again. But I do not know how to schedule this and still make it efficient. Any suggestions are appreciated.
