Troi Activator Multiple Remote Events

January 27, 200817 yr

I'm hoping someone can give me some direction on how to approach, or at least another brain to wrap around my problem.

I just downloaded the trial of Troi Activator. I'm a developer and am a big fan and own licenses of many of their products.

I need to send commands to my FM server running FM9A to perform/offload some custom FTP functions so that the users computer isn't tied up. I'm forgoing the background runtime suggestion/example presented by Troi as I really don't want any issues with the runtime crashing, etc, and more importantly, need my users to share the same contact system that is served.

I have a local copy of triggering an FTP upload on the server's copy of FM9A, which works great. Once the upload is finished, I have FM send an email to the user that the upload is complete.

What I need is the ability to have multiple remote events sent to the servers copy of FM9A and for them to be queued/postponed until the the current FTP function/upload, if there is one currently running, is complete.

I know Troi has the ability to assign IDs and you can get Silent events by ID. Is this how I do it?

So for example, once the current upload is finished, it can check for any silent events that were sent?

I was thinking I would send an event and if a script is being run, that it would instead schedule the upload at a later time. But the problem is, each upload is will take a different amount of time, so how would I be able to set the time for the event to start.

Hope the above makes sense and thanks for anyone who can share a left or right brain on this.
