You can use a zope product named xron Hans de Wit "Josef Meile" <jmeile@hotma To: <zope(a)zope.org> il.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: [Zope] Running a method automatically zope-admin@zo pe.org 12-12-01 10:17 AM I'm just wondering if it is possible to execute a method (it could be a DTML Method or a Python script) automatically. ie: once a day. How can I do it? Thanks in advanced, Josef.

Zope with IIS using NT security, remote user mode
by Michael Wills 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

Hello all: I was kindly reminded not to send messages in HTML format. Many thanks for the reminder. It took a while to figure out how to turn it off. Sorry for the nuisance. I am wondering if anyone can point me to information about setting up Zope to run in remote user mode. I am trying to get Zope to work with IIS and use NT security. I have followed the documentation but haven't been successful. The only thing I can think of is remote user mode. I am not sure exactly what that is or how to properly set it up. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Michael

making subclasses persistent
by Jerry McRae 12 Dec '01

Hi Zopeople, Sorry for the long post. I seem to spend 2 hours programming and 7 hours searching the archives. Things I have learned trying to convert my Python App to Zope: I can place my un-pickled objects in the root of data.fs and then access them from Zope. Works great, although it took me quite a while to figure out how to access them from and External Method with self._p_jar.root() (which wasn't intuitive or found in any documentation). I was able to access my external database (non-SQL) from an External Method, although I had to pre-set a list of dictionaries for access from DTML. The built in sequence of C extension types caused the Zope security prompt to prevent all access. I also found the __setstate__ method for re-opening my files if my objects get reloaded from ZODB (if I ever get them saved in the ZODB!) Then I struggled for hours this morning trying to solve my 'first parameter must be an instance' in my Product's __init__() where I was trying to call the super class's __init__. I was elated to find inheritedAttribute in the ML archives. Then my hopes of using the same code as my Python ap were dashed when I found it didn't work for super classes. application class design (not necessarily the 'right' way): class Ap() - repository for all files, tables, and common methods. ONLY used as a super class. class com(Ap) - methods, files, and tables specific to the 'com' application. Still only used for 'com' app. super class. class comtest(com) - objects specific to a running application. There is only one instance created, but there is much custom methods in this class. Running from Python (through aprun.py, which instanciates (sp?) the class, loads the tables, and runs the method: c:\> python aprun.py comtest run_this_method >From Zope: ??. * I have attempted at making a Product, but I cannot include 'comtest' as a super class, because I cannot initialize it. Even though I would only need one instance of 'comtest', I don't see how to make it (or its class) persistent. * I thought of just using External Methods, but cannot figure out how to create instances from class definitions in External Methods. My options at this point seem to be re-write my class structure to work with Zope. Unfortunately, I would loose my class hierarchy and this would then require two sets of classes, which would be inconvenient. Any other suggestions? (if this makes any sense) would be much appreciated! Does anyone else feel like they have been handed a Ferrari, and it's really cool and great and all that.

> Hi! > > > I also need some testimonials about Zope's rock-solid(?) stability... I ran Zope 2-3-1 for months without problems and only retired it (with the 2-4-3 version) just last week. Thus, it ran from the time that the 2-3-1 version came out until last week without a single crash. The only times I restarted it was when I added/changed a new product. The longest uptime for that instance of Zope was 53 days. It has never hung on me. It has never crashed or refused a request. Splendid performance. Note, the same instance of Zope was running both in production and as a development box. Not exactly the wisest move, by my firm hasn't seen fit to give me a second box. I was able to get away with that, however, because Zope is a solid product. By the way, I've been running Zope on Linux. As of 6:46 pm (Central time) that Linux box had an uptime of over 137 days. It pays to have a stable OS. Being a longtime monitor of this list, I've noted that many of the stability problems of Zope can be attributed to the OS or the specific settings for the OS. IMHO. Ron

Restricting contained objects
by Francisco Manuel Marzoa Alonso 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

Hi there, I think I've readed about a manner in which a container object can define what kind of objects can store within it. Does this exist or it was a dream? Just telling me about where in the ZOPE Documentation ocean can find information about this should be enough. Thanks in advance,

Hello, I like this one, because it's a thing which bother me since years. I my opinion, zope is not rock solid. It's a really nice software, but you can not rely on it. If something go wrong deep inside, you may have all your zsever threads blocked. Then you will need some external software to check if the web server still reply, if not you will have to kill and restart it. I don't think ZDaemon (-Z arg?) is of any help in case of hang. I think this can be resolved by putting some effort inside the Zserver. I would like to have a working timeout period for the http request (yes, I try the timeout socket, and for me it change nothing) My conclusion: if everything is ok and put behind apache : stable, if zserver alone and a few glitches: blocked.
