How to: Set up a Timer Event

A Timer Event exports a filtered set of data frequently from Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

To set up a Timer Event:

1. Create an export connection and insert the element TIMEREVENT.
2. On the elements line, select Edit.
3. On the Timer Event Setup page, fill in the following fields:

Field	Description
Document No.	Specify the internal document number.
Node Name	Used for filtering. Node names follow the internal document structure.
Table Filter	Specify the table filter. This filter applies to the data set.
Process with Job Queue	Enable this field to create a separate recurring job queue entry in the job queue. This can be modified and runs this connection instead of the product job queue entry.
Job Queue Category	Specifies the job queue category to use when job queue entries are created for this connection. When a job queue category code is defined, messages for this connection run in a serial manner.

4. Select Check Configuration to see if there are any configuration errors.
5. Select OK.
