Running NAS with Job Queue will start a timer to process Job Queue Entries every two seconds. In the original code the Timer is disabled before checking the Job Queue Entries and then enabled again after the process. If NAS will not be able to read the Job Queue Entry then the function will exit without enabling the Timer and nothing will be processed.
In NAV 7 the NAV Application Server will no longer be supported. The Job Queue has been redesigned to support the new CREATESESSION feature that will create a new session on the service tier to execute a given task.
Those who are familiar with prior versions of NAV might remember Job Scheduler from previous versions. Job Queue was introduced in NAV 5.0 with similar functionality to Job Scheduler, but with a changed setup and architecture.
The Job Queue granule (3,810) in version 5.0 and later can be used to automate tasks by starting Nav Application Server with the parameter JOBQUEUE. Everyting that Job Queue starts is started with a record in the table Job Queue Entry.
Since the report that I posted earlier simply sends an PDF copy of the Invoice and Credit Memo to the recipient via SMTP mail you do not have a copy of that E-Mail in your inbox or sent items.
This solution uses PDFCreator to automatically email all invoices and credit memos to customers that have an email address entered.
One of my clients asked for a automated report delivery every morning. Since Job Queue was already running I decided to create a way to have Job Queue print the report to PDF and email it as an attachment.
