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.

    But usage of Send and Receive messagesa re not recommended strongly by Appian as well as they tend to use lot of memory and cause slowness and other performance related issues. We had used the message events initially but eventually took it out and now sticking to a 5 mins standard OOTB scheduler to do the job with a boolean constant to control the process.
