Add / Update Task

The Add / Update task is responsible to action the NOWAIT option with Business Rules. The option works with the ADD, COPY and UPDATE action rules. If this task is not configured, the updates from ADD, COPY and UPDATE rules are queued, but never applied.

The task is configured on the following screen:


Task manager for adding / updating tasks

The task should be run on a single node a clustered environment. A suitable poll time is 30 seconds as the task takes little resource on the server.

The options within the properties manage the log file options as follows:

Property Function
LOG_FILE_PATH_NAME Specifies the path name to the log file, relative to the WEB-INF directory
USE_SYSTEM_LOG This is an alternative to using a log file solely for the Add / Update log, and will interleave the log messages with the standard ExtraView application server log file
LOG_FILE_PATH_NAME_ABSOLUTE This is used as an alternative to the previous two options, and is used for stand-alone installation on the Microsoft Windows platform, or when running ExtraView from within a WAR file deployment
PSP_LOG This option can be used to debug the feature by writing all the SQL statements executed to the log file
XML_LOG_FLAG Outputs the log file in XML as opposed to text, if the option is set to TRUE
LOG_FILE_MAX_SIZE The size of the log file in bytes. Once this size is reached, the log file is archived and a new file started
DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL This is the default level for log messages. This value should be 6
LOG_CHARSET The character set for messages sent to the log file. This should be UTF-8
LOG_INCLUDE_THREAD_NAME Includes or excludes the thread name in the log output
LOG_LEVEL The level of log messages, from 1 to 12. The default level is 6. Increasing the number increases the number of log messages
