Timer - Data group

Select data group

Here you have the ability to select an application and one of its data groups for the timer. For each data record in this data group, a corresponding timer event will be generated.

Filter

Opens a dialog where a filter for the data in the selected data group can be created.

Sorting

A click on "Sorting" opens a dialog in which sorting of the data can be set.

Sorting defines the order in which the records are processed. If no sorting is specified, the records are processed in the order in which they are selected by the database.

Process each record in a separate transaction

Means that one access will occur for each individual data record. This function is recommended when processing very large amounts of stored data, such as for a data replication via a process, as errors will be skipped and the transaction duration (and with it, the duration of database locks) will be kept short. This setting can also be used to send mass emails. With it, you can set that in the case of any errors that occur, the entire sending process will not fail, but rather that specific mails will only fail to send.

If the "Process each record in a separate transaction" setting is activated, an error is not reported when the rest of the process contains errors (e.g. an erroneous script in a Groovy action). Each error in the process is simply logged. If this setting is deactivated, the process is reported as erroneous as soon as an error occurs somewhere in the process.
