[Plone-users] Zope time or event scheduler

[Yves M. <ym...@gr...>]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find a Zope product that would allow me to gobble up XML files and
populate new instances of AT products with those.  I'm basically trying to
synchronize 2 databases : a MySQL DB for which I have no access and the ZODB.   

The point that tickles me is that I don't know how to use a Scheduler product
under Zope.  I'm on windows, so no cron there (but maybe a service indeed). 
Trying to find info on "Zope Scheduler" on legco.biz leads no where.  Is Zope
scheduler the way to go (Zope = 2.7.0, Plone 2.0.5) ?

Ideally, I would like an event trigger e.g. an email arrives with an attached
document and scripts get called on that attached document to open it, parse it
and create new object instances.  I can always use a time-based scheduler (e.g.
with a 5-minute interval) but ideally I would prefer the event driven approach.

Pointers appreciated,

Thanx
