Hello,
How do you run a background process (continually running) on the Parse Server? the process monitors a specific chain on the Ethereum blockchain. Instruction how to do so OR a link to documentation which explains this in detail would be most helpful. Thank you.

you could try this plugin:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/parse-server-jobs-scheduler

you can also install parse dashboard

#3

Using parse dashboard, clicking on scheduler only redirects to the documentation which does not help. :frowning:

#4

I’m not sure on what you are referring

#5

In the parse dashboard there is a job scheduling area, it says

" On this page you can create JobSchedule objects.

Be noted that parse-server doesn’t run the jobs in the scheduled times by itself.

Please take a look at the docs on how to do that."

I have gone to those docs, no help

#6

you have to install that plugin specific to job schedules in order to see it in the parse dashboard

#7

ahhh, you are crafty Mr.Bond
