I am a developer and already familiar with how background workers, schedulers, and similar patterns are normally implemented in general‑purpose programming languages.
However, I’m interested in the JMP‑specific way to handle this. I have a JMP add‑in where the workflow loads data from a cached data file first, and users also have a button they can click if they want to refresh the cache and pull the latest data from the database. That part works fine.
What I want to avoid is having many users manually triggering that refresh and hitting the database individually. Instead, I would like the cache to update automatically for example, every hour, in the background maybe.
I noticed that JMP Live has an option to run a script on a schedule (similar to a cron job), but that doesn’t help in my case because I’m using a custom UI, and custom UIs don’t work with JMP Live.
