<![CDATA[How to force DbDrv to write the data every 5 minutes (xx:00,xx:05,xx:10, ...)?]]>Hi,
I have our controllers writing values every 5 minutes to a database server. It starts pushing 5 minutes from upload to target. Would it be possible to have it to do it on the minute every 5 minutes(5:00,5:05,5:10)? This makes it easier for analytics.

Regards,
George

Our developers already implemented the new functionality. Starting from new REXYGEN release it will behave as you expected - that Group itself will have also _Trigger flag.

Good luck with your project.

thank you for your comment. According to the screenshot provided you are using Groups which is a bit different. The thing is that auxiliary flags are defined for Items not Groups. Therefore try to change your GoTo flag "DB__writeGroup1_Trigger" to "DB__writeGroup1_line_no_Trigger" (or any other Item name within the Group followed by "_Trigger" suffix) - it should do the job.

Let me know if it solved the issue.

Cheers, Tomas

Could you please help me how to use the _Trigger flag properly?
(writing to the DB using an interval works O.K.)
Thanks in advance,
Petr

thank you for interesting question. In REXYGEN it is possible to force write to database whenever you want to - it is done by additional auxiliary flag "Trigger". See screenshot which shows additional logic in order to generate pulse every 5 minutes aligned with local time.

More information on auxiliary flags - see DbDrv docs: https://www.rexygen.com/doc/ENGLISH/MANUALS/DbDrv/DbDrv_ENG.html#x1-200003.2

Hope it helps.

Regards, Tomas
