How frequently can an OxFlow job run?

OxFlow tasks can happen as often as every minute. This frequency is a decision that gets made based on a few important considerations:

  • Time to complete the task
    • Some tasks end up grouping tasks (1 to many) and can be hard to predict in terms of time to complete.
    • If a task is variable in its duration of runtime, we’d plan a wider time cycle.
    • Example:
      • The task takes from 3 to 34 minutes depending on some external factor
      • We’d suggest scheduling that task for no more than every 90 minutes
  • Business Needs
    • The business need should be driving our design and implementaiton.
  • Austerity Mindedness
    • “Least expensive” is our motto.
    • If there is no need for often, lets not schedule it often.
