Hello all,

I want to collect data from a calculation made in Ignition and move it to the database. I know how to send this data as a historical tag to the database, but I don’t know how to create the trigger. How can I create an event or a trigger that does this transaction? I want to make the transaction every day at 23:59:59

If you prefer to use scripts, you could setup a gateway timer script @ 1000ms to check the current time, and then run a script if the current time is the desired time.

```auto
time = system.date.now()
hour,min = system.date.getHour24(time),system.date.getMinute(time)
if hour== 23 and min== 59:	
         my_script.run()

```
