You would have to provide more Scenario details. For example, if it is *one time per workflow* deal you can simply include dummy
task with the calculated time-out transition to desired task.
If you plan to do it on a regular basis (daily/weekly) you may be better off scheduling the whole new job, not just a task and so on...

Also, with the question like that it helps if you provide your platform, TS Version, planned scheduler and the like

Hi
Thanks 4 your Reply It gives Me some idea
actually i want to use it inside a Workflow
how can V do something like "get thefiles and deploy them in to the Web server in a sheduled time" using work flow?

Ok, let's try one more time... You would have to provide more Scenario details. The way you've described it above you do
not need a workflow. Prepare Deployment configuration and schedule Open Deploy Run using either OD built-in scheduler or
whatever is your scheduler of choice.

"Prepare Deployment configuration "Yes exactly thtat what i hope to do i want to invoke it using a work flow,
since the scenario is like this
"a user asign to check the files and after that selects some files and then he need to deploy them to a server in a user specified time"
so in here how do i use workflow to do this can we use external tasks?

its in TS 6.7 solaris env

It coul dbe something like:

CGITASK >> DUMMYTASK >> EXTERNALTASK

Within CGITASK... the user would select the files need to be deployed along with the time on which s/he intends to do the deployment. It also does the calculation of time format changes for the value to be set for DUMMYTASK to get inactivated. (You have to remove the extra files attached to the job.)

Once the time is being set on DUMMYTASK... it on its own activates external task... which deploys the selected files.

There are various implementations of this scenario. They depend mostly on business approval rules and procedures.
For example, I saw and implemented flavors of the following simple Scenario countless times:

- Deployments from certain TS Areas (often some STAGINGs) are scheduled several times a day, like every 4 hours.
Deployment Script publishes an edition and performs Transactional deployment from it with the DateDifference
comparison rule. (A variant exists where OD compares latest edition to the previous one. It is very efficient
but alas... No free lunch. Special care should be taken not to miss some assets later on if deployment fails)

- Workflows in this scenario simply submit approved assets to STAGING. That's it.

anyway What do U mean by "You have to remove the extra files attached to the job"

Hi .

I am using Teamsite 6.5 and open Deploy 6.0.0. I have a similar senario wherein I want the deployment content to web server at a specified time selected by author .

Here I need to deploy both files and database changes to target server at a selected time.I am using filelist deployment by workflow to deploy content at publish server

So in my workflow when approver approves the content ,publishing of these content should occur at selected time.

Now here I used the above approach of using dummy task with timeout . but the issue i am facing here is that once the dummy task time finishes, user need to manually go and start the next task. My need is that once the time finishes for dummy task next task should authomatically be executed at the specified task. my task senario is like below.

approver task >dummy task > submit task > CGI task (deployment task).

I have set immediate equal to true for CGI task and also the owner of all task are same .still the CGI task is not getting executed automatically .

If any one have worked on such senario . then could you please let me know the approach you have followed for content publish timing. If you have followed the same approach of dummy task then how can we automate the next task execution.

Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated

I would prefer to have a different approach for this...

1. Schedule a batch / shell which will create an Edition including all approved files at a particular time (as per your requirement).

2. Configure and Schedule a Open Deploy / Data Deploy which will run after (may be after 15 mins) the execution of above batch / shell.

3. This Open Deploy / Data Deploy will deploy all approved files.

I hope this suits your requirement..

I do not think you can activate CGI automatically in this schema. Basically, immediate="t" works if CGI task is the
starting task and task owner is the same as a job owner or the cgi task follows a user or group task owned by the same
user. (There are also *cgi chain* conditions but you've got the picture)

In your case requirements are not met, you have dummy and submit tasks in between. What you (possibly) can do is reshuffle your
tasks so that CGI "Deployment" follows "Approver". After all, you do that on approval only. Dummy "Delay" task can be set then before
Submit or even right before actual OD External task

Why is the "deployment task" a cgitask? If you make it into an externaltask it will run automatically, but not provide any ability for user-interaction. Do you need user-interaction at that point?
