Creating JCD - unable to specify Scheduler as Input Message

Question

Hi *
When I try to create a New Collaboration Definition (Java), and specify Create New Web Service Operation, I get to the point where I must Select Input Message. Here I want to use the Scheduler. But when I go into the SeeBeyond project, and click on eGate, I only see JMS and OTD Lead as the choices.
How can I get to the Scheduler?
Thanks,
Pete

Hey Pete,
What version of JCAPS are you using?? 5.1.3 or 6?
In 5.1.3 the only scheduler is a JMS scheduler. If you want to schedule a webservice, the only (quick) way I can think of to schedule it would be to write a web service client, and then use cron (in unix) or the windows scheduler to kick that web service client off at a certain time. You could also use the jms scheduler (the scheduler isn't great in 5.1.3, you can't say "I want this to run on the 2nd Sunday of each month") that makes a JCD start up every so many seconds/hours/days/weeks(that takes in a JMS message, and then calls your webservice)
If you're interested in any of those two scenarios and need more help, please let me know.
In JCAPS 6, it's a little more flexible. If you're using JCA or JBI components (not repository based components) check out this tutorial on what is offered in 6:

Hope any of that helps,
