Best way to implement a lifecycle scheduled transition

Question

I have a requirement to move certain object types from one state to the next 30 days after their modify date.  I have created a lifecycle that allows scheduled promotions.  From what I'm reading, there is no OOB way to set this up in the lifecycle (in Composer).

1.  Is that correct, or am I missing something?

2.  Is the best way to accomplish this to write a java method that runs nightly, checks for the modify date and then does a promote?

We're running CS 6.7 SP1

Thanks.

1. I am not aware of OOTB job that does this.  There is BATCH_PROMOTE server method, but you still need to provide the object IDs as arguments to method.

2. Write java server method to query for objects that meets your criteria (r_modify_date less than 30 days) and then pass the object IDs to BATCH_PROMOTE method or just use IDfSysobject.promote() yourself.
