HOw to update two different object in batch class?

Hi,

I have a batch class that is supposed to update the user objet and a custom object called "cobj1". 

When the two separate update calls are made, i am getting MIXED_DML_OPERATION" DML operation on setup is not permitted after you have updated a non-setup object. What is the recommended way to update two objects in one batch class?

Sample code:
global class batchJob implements Database.Batchable<sObject>{

   global final String Query;

   global batchJob(String q,){

      Query=q; 
   }

   global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC){
      return Database.getQueryLocator(query);
   }

   global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<sObject> scope){
      List<cobj1> cobjs = new List<cobj1>();
      List<ID> usrIds = new LIst<Id>();
      //get list from scope
       for(sObject sob : scope){
          cobj1 cb = (cobj1)sob;
          //update some field on cb
          //store user's created by id
           usrIds.add(cb.CreatedBy);
          cobjs.add(cb);
     }
      update cobjs;

      List<User> users = [Select Id, Name from user where Id IN: usrIds];
      for(User u : users) {
        //perform some field update
        u.CustomField = <some new value>
      }
       update users;
    }

   global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){
   }
}

Thanks Fearnone. I have gone with a different route to update the objects in separate classes and it solved the issue.

rr,
you can't perform DML on setup objects(User object) along with a non-setup object (cobj1).
can you try System.runAs Blocks or @future.

this link is a test method mixed DML but it's still applicable in your case.
