I have a very simple case that does not seem to work. The timer works correctly as an int or cron but it seems to ignore the when part. here is the rule... rule "Database Processing Cron" timer ( cron: 0/15 * * ? * * * ) when $c : CronJennie() eval( $c.hasInitialRunOccured() == false ) then logger.info( "Database processing initial run..." + $c.hasInitialRunOccured()); $c.setInitialRunOccured(); update($c) end ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i have also done the when as: $c : CronJennie(hasInitialRunOccured() == false ) I am using the lates version 5.4.0 beta2, any ideas?
