You can configure a time event to repeat at a configurable time interval. For example, if you configure a time event to repeat every thirty milliseconds, then every thirty milliseconds BusinessEvents creates a new time event of that type. You can configure a repeating time event to create a specified number of events at each interval. The time interval begins during engine startup (see
Appendix A, Engine Startup and Shutdown Sequence).
A rule based TimeEvent resource has only a name and description. You can schedule an event to be asserted into working memory using its ontology function,
ScheduleTimeEventName() in a rule. (see
Rule Based TimeEvent Function Reference). You can schedule the event to be asserted after a period of time, and you can pass information to the event and specify its time to live. You can call the
ScheduleTimeEventName() function in different places with different time delays.
