I need some help in mind storming the best method to achieve what I need. Your thoughts and comments will be highly valuable.

I want to start a process, automatically once its date and time matches that of a predefined constant. Every year, this constant will be updated to prepare for the next year. And I want the process to auto start every year based on that constant.

Using a start even at the beginning of a process [followed by a controller rule] only works for 1 time after I publish the process. But when the constant is updated the process does not run again after 1 year, unless the original process was republished sometime after it auto ran the 1st time. Any thoughts?

I have this idea of using a message sending/receiving somehow, but have not wrapped my mind around it yet.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks guys, i decided on both using a DB for the dates, as i will be handling a different date set for each year managed by an interface and process.

And to manage the auto start of my processes, i will create an orchestrator process which takes the year as a parameter, the very 1st time this orchestrator will be run by the admin and from there onwards, that orchestrator manages calling the other processes for this current year, and at some point, it calls the next orchestrator processes for the next year.

Thanks a lot for all of your comments.
