Workgroup PDM and MSMQ Triggers

Workgroup PDM and MSMQ Triggers

Workgroup PDM and MSMQ Triggers

(OP)
Hi All,
I was hoping that someone can help with this one. I am currently doing some automation with Workgroup PDM and I want to utilise Triggers/Notifications however I am unsure what is the best way to implement them.

In my mind I want a windows service that monitors the MSMQ queue for messages from the vault when certain events occur, such as "rename_document" or "create_project". I will then have the service update a SQL-server database.

I can get this working as a standalone application however I am unsure how to develop this into a windows services that I will deploy onto the vault server.

Any ideas or examples are welcome.

DMcT.

RE: Workgroup PDM and MSMQ Triggers

Microsoft provides a utility for starting an application as a service, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890.

There are also several 3rd party solutions.  Google "start application as a service".

Depending on which programming language you are using, you should also be able to make your executable so that it can be run as a service directly.  I have not done this myself.

I would start with the Microsoft solution and try one of the others if it does not meet your needs, or if you want to teach yourself how to write a service.
