After finishing some task, how is it possible in jira log this current(finish) time?
So I don't want calculate time spending on task as start time of task + time spended on task, I want only enter finish time and time spent will be calculated(in jira) as finish time-start time.
JIRA doesn't currently offer real-time time tracking.
However your IDE should have some means of logging you time - for example Eclipse has this built in in the tasks plugin and it could also be connected to JIRa so that you could see your tasks in the IDE and log your time in "real-time" right there.
I have found this to be rather inconvenient since if inactive inside the IDE for a certain period of time the tracking will stop - this is an option in the IDE though.
I personally use Toggl which is free for a "one-man show" team. Also their pricing for teams is very nice. There are other services like Toggl and they are not all web-based. For example Project Hamster if you're on Linux. Just google time tracking. ;) Otherwise as I said the only way is to connect your IDE to JIRA via some task module.

I have never written a windows service or any scheduler before so I couldn't figure out what to do.
I need to write a windows service. There is a Report table in my DB, and I need to check it every day to see if there are new reports added. Reports have receivers and the time settings, such as 15th of every month at 14:00, or daily at 12:35 or weekly on Wednesdays at 13:00. And I need to send emails with some reports at these times.
As I have decided, I will use Quartz.NET. But there are a couple of things I don't understand. So I will have 2 Jobs I think. One for checking the DB every day, to see if there are new reports that users want. And when I receive them, I'll create new different amount of Jobs with new triggers based on the times in the DB? Do I create new triggers in the job of the first daily check? I didn't understand it.
And when for example a time of one report is updated, or deleted, Do I need to delete the Job and the trigger from the scheduler? I'd appreciate the help. I am using VS 2015 with C#.
And when I do the windows service, I'll just initiate this Quartz thing that I have written? Sorry I couldn't understand what I have read so far.
I would recommend Hangfire IO over Quartz.net
http://hangfire.io/
Its a more modern approach to scheduled jobs. In the past I've used Quartz.net as well. First of all, using hangfire requires no service. The jobs are persistent, and retries are built in. The syntax is also easier.
I've used hangfire and its wonderful and simple.
however, Hangfire does not support Oracle db so far. Also Quartz provide more flexibility in terms of scheduling (calendars, end dates etc).
Hello i would like to know if its possible to have watches to monitor which task programmer is working on.. like some time tracker like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rauscha.apps.timesheet but integrated with TFS web service and for desktop.. im just trying to use TFS only for project scrum support but i need to know how many hours programmers spended on which task.. i guess in reality PM dont fill it manually so how it works in real projects ? Thank you
Actually in real projects developers are required to track their own time. In an ideal situation the elapsed time would be the completed time - the assign time. This doesn't work generally as developers generally work on more than one task at a time.
I'm connecting to Twitter's streaming API to get a stream of updates to my Rails app, adding them to the db, etc, etc.
What's the best way to do this on Heroku? Right now, I'm using the delayed_job gem - problem is that the job (connecting to the Twitter Streaming API) expires after hours.
Is there a way to make the job run forever, or a better way to do this?
Thanks
I wouldn't make a job "run forever" as that would mean loading the CPU forever too.
The way this is usually handled is by using a cron job which starts the specific script at specific intervals (every minute, every hour, every few days, etc.).
Almost every webhost provides an easy interface to setup such cron jobs via their backend (eg: CPanel).
In case you're running your own server, you probably already know how to configure such jobs. If you don't, you'll have to lookup the individual setup guide which fits the operating system you're running on your server… there's always a way to run "jobs" at specific intervals (even on MS Windows servers — via scheduling).
And for a more detailed description and better insight into what "cron" is, you might want to check the "cron" article at Wikipedia , which also provides some pretty good examples.
Sorry for another non programming question, but I'm using Quartz.NET, a scheduler for .NET applications, for a Windows Service which allows users to schedule transferrig of files that match a regular expression from various sources - for example the user may schedule a job to occur every day at 6pm that transfers the files from a network path to a FTP server.
The adding jobs and management is done using an ASP.NET project, and I'm creating a Dashboard to display useful info to the user. I have the following information on the dashboard so far:
Total number of jobs
Windows Service status
Time since scheduler active
I know it's a very general question, but what other snippets of info can I add to the dashboard, as it's very sparse at the moment.
I've worked as a product manager on a few schedulers. Here are some common requirements for these types of things, but I urge you to talk to some target users to find out if they are applicable to your application.
The use cases:
1. Trying to identify if the jobs are running okay.
2. If jobs are not running okay, give the user clues as to the cause. Give user tools to debug and fix.
General requirements:
1. Table with info on last N jobs:
- Time started, time completed. Status of completion (success / failure). Length of time. Any errors. User who scheduled job. Any dependencies this job has on other jobs or other events. Specific machine the job ran on (if in a cluster).
Might be nice to include links in this dashlet that would allow you to cancel a job that might be hung.
Priority of the job (if you have priorities).
Compare all jobs: %succeed, %failure. Avg time to complete job.
Compare jobs by the scheduling user: avg time, %success, %failure.
This is by no means a comprehensive list or something. Just my trying to give you a few ideas, based on what I can remember off the top of my head.

How to calculate the total execution time of each application Win (process) with the group on day.
For example:
the process - notepad.exe - 10 minutes today (in total)
I would use a WMI query against Win32_Process and retrieve the CreationDate value which according to MSDN is the date (and time) a process began executing.
A good library for Delphi is available from Magenta Systems. This library includes several examples to help you get started.
This only tracks currently running processes. If your wanting to track processes which were run once but are no longer running, then you will want to hook into windows so you are notified at each application launch. One example of this would be to use the CBT hooks (computer based training, but its used for other things also) which allow you to get notified every time a window is created. If you use the window handle to then find the parent process, you can then use this to track for yourself how long the parent process is running.
The Win32 function GetProcessTimes is an alternative way of getting hold of the creation time and CPU time spent during the day. With execution time I assume you mean cpu time rather than wall clock time.
Here is a link to a blog post describing how to use GetProcessTimes in Delphi.
This is a more "direct" approach than using WMI, however WMI has other advantages such as being able to query other machines over the network.
As skamradt also suggests, this application needs to run continuously to track all starting and stopping processes.The only way I know of to get events on starting and stopping applications is to use WMI events. See this question for some more info on that as well as this Technet blog on scripting
The steps to do this would be to
enumerate all running processes covered by this question
and then call GetProcessTimes for each process as described here.
