Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to use the Spel method 'add_time_animator'? I have already tried the following syntaxes and still could not get it to work:

add_time_animator("fire_cnote_animator", (date) "09/24/2017 12:29:27", (duration) 0, "cnote:400051", "deactivate_cnote", "DOB", "");

   
send_wait(0, (object) "@|animator_nxd|Animator", "add_time_animator", "fire_cnote_animator", (date) "09/23/2017 13:00:00", (duration) 0, "cnote:400051", "deactivate_cnote", "DOB", "");

PS.:

The method below to delete animator works!

send_wait(0, (object) "@|animator_nxd|Animator", "delete_animator", "cnote:400051", "*", "*");

Thanks.

Hi Daniel.

I'm not aware that this inbuild function is in use by any spell code provided by CA. And I never used it ,nor did I get it to run

Anyway: I assume this function is intended to create an ANI record, which of course can be done by yourself as well:

just create a new object of factory ANI and fill in the required information:

object ani_gl,ani;

send_wait(0,top_object(),"get_co_group");
ani_gl=msg[0];

send_wait(0, top_object(), "call_attr", "ANI", "get_new_dob", NULL, NULL, ani_gl);

ani = msg[0];

ani.name = "Your name here"
ani.target = persistent_id;        // your context object persid
ani.method = "execute";            // the object method name , which gets called in context of your context object when the ANI fires
ani.timer = (date)(target_date );  // your firetime
ani.org_timer = (date) now();
ani.lock = "";
ani.user_string = "a user string";

send_wait(0, ani_gl, "checkin");

hope that helps

Kind regards

This method I already knew Michael. but thanks anyway. I am documenting in a structured way all the known SPEL functions and unfortunately the add_time_animator function we still do not know how to use it.
