Start a timer on the server that will delete a row upon timeout

Question

Hello

I am using App42 and I have setup storage service. Is there a way in which I can setup a function call on the server in which I can call, it will start a timer and upon timer expiry it will delete a specific row from the the storage service?

Basically I want to insert a row into the storage service and have it deleted after specific elapsed time.

 

I hope this is possible

Thanks

Hello AndroidFolk,

 

You can achieve your objective by two ways:

 

1. You can simply write a custom code & schedule it for the time which you want to set for all this process from the dashboard

 

2. You can use our timer service to start a timer on server and when the time expire, you can do operation for all this process.

 

Please have a look & let us know if it helps.

Thank you, option 1 seems the most feasible. I want to call it from a device. Can multiple devices call the custom code at the same time? I mean are requests executed in parallel?

Yes you can call custom code from multiple devices at the same time.
