Is there any timer facility in Apex ?

Hi,

 

Is there any Timer class in Apex or any mechanism to invoke timer functionality ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello 

 

Sometimes <apex:actionPoller/> will solve your problem.

A good example of using <apex:actionPoller/> can be found in Apex component reference document.

Hi,

 

I went through the Schedule Apex part but the example seems a bit tricky. I need to fire a workflow after every1 hour . Can it be done through scheduler ? Will be nice of you if you can share some code piece.

 

Thanks in advance.
