INGTIMER do not produce BNH549I as there is no parm to specify NOTIFY for CHRON timers

System automation has the command INGTIMER which is used to manage timers connected to an application under it's control. The INGTIMER uses the NETVIEW CHRON under the covers. A normal Netivew timer when executing will produce a DSI208I when it is invoked or purged etc. The CHRON timer will produce a BNH549I to notify of the different events if you specify a NOTFY parameter when you set the chron. INGTIMER does not allow for the passing of this parm.

Their should also be an AAO to set what the default NOTIFY parms should be for each invocation of INTTIMER and not expect the customer to always code it.

    You are correct the chron function does provide a means of doing this.

    And INGTIMER Calls CHRON .

    Issue here is that the INGTIMER manages the timers based on RESOURCE status and CHRON does not.

    so we need to use INGTIMER and INGTIMER should support all CHRON parms so we can get notified.

    We cannot use CHRON on it's own with out re-inventing INGTIMER :)

    I believe the CHRON function will provide the functionality being desired rather than INGTIMER.
