In this chapter, we covered the integration of the Quartz job-scheduling system with OSWorkflow, which provided temporal capabilities to OSWorkflow. We also took a look at the trigger-functions
, which are executed when a Quartz trigger fires. We also learned how to schedule a job from a Workflow definition by using ScheduleJob
. Finally, we showed the capabilities of the Quartz-OSWorkflow duo with the help of two sample applications.
