Setting Up Route Change Subscription Services
The Route Change Subscription Service checks the BusPlanner Web database for route changes at a specific time on specific days of the week (set in “Frequency” and “Time to run” below). If it finds any, it will send emails to subscribers linked to students affected by those changes, based on the criteria listed above.
•Frequency – the days of the week that the service will look for route changes •Time to Run – the time of day that the service will look for new changes •Polling Time – Determines how often the Mailing Thread should check to see if it is time to send out emails in seconds. This value must be > 0. •Last run time – the last time that the service looked for route changes •Next run time – the next time that the service will look for changes •Suspend – If checked, then the service will not send out emails. •Threads - The number of threads mailing our messages. |
