First, it depends on what is meant by “send an XML file every 5 min”.

Does that mean the job must create (and send) a new file every 5 min? Or does it simply send a specified XML file every 5 min, even if it hasn’t been changed? Or does it mean something else?

And how is the “send” expected to be done? FTP? Mapped drive? (Web services? Something else entirely?)
