Scheduler

Hi All,

 

I am trying to run a batsh class at regular intervals. I have writen below class but geting an error " expecting a right parentheses, found 'One'.

 

global class scheduledMerge10 implements Schedulable{

global void execute(SchedulableContext SC) {

AverageSpentDays b = new AverageSpentDays();

database.executebatch(b);
}
Schedulemerge10 b = new Schedulemerge10();
String sch = '0 0 7 07 12 ?';
system.schedule ('One', sch, b);

}

 

Is above the right way of writing a class for  scheduler?

Let me correct, to execute the batch job from the schedulable class sysntax would be like-

global class scheduledMerge implements Schedulable

{
global void execute(SchedulableContext SC)

{
BatchApexClass bac = new BatchApexClass() ;
Database.executeBatch(rap);
}
}

 

However, if you want schedule it from the apex programming then execute the code from the anonymous block in this way-

scheduledMerge m = new scheduledMerge();
String sch = '20 30 8 10 2 ?';
system.schedule('Merge Job', sch, m);

 

To schedule a batch job is one time need to just run the code from the anonymous block..

You should write in this way-

global class scheduledMerge10 implements Schedulable{

global void execute(SchedulableContext SC) {

AverageSpentDays b = new AverageSpentDays();


Schedulemerge10 b = new Schedulemerge10();
String sch = '0 0 7 07 12 ?';
system.schedule ('One', sch, b);

}

}

I am getting this error "Duplicate variable: b (attempt to re-create the variable with type: Schedulemerge10)" as vaqriable b is defined twice.

 

My batch class is AverageSpentDays. I tried some tweaking but still no luck.

 

How to make sure that system.scheduler runs batch class AverageSpentDays at specified time.

Replace this

Schedulemerge10 b = new Schedulemerge10();

 

with

 

Schedulemerge10 sch = new Schedulemerge10();

If I replace that, how would I pass the value?

 

String sch = '0 0 7 07 12 ?'

In addition to my last comment, in your case execute the below code from the anonymous block-

Schedulemerge10 b = new Schedulemerge10();
String sch = '0 0 7 07 12 ?';
system.schedule ('One', sch, b);

It is working fine. Just have one doubt.. If I want to run the batch class let say 10:10 pm, 10:20 pm, 10:25 pm then every time i have to run it from anonymous block as I have to check whether my code is giving the expected result.

I am aware that we can schedule a batch class from apex classes itself(schedule apex)  but that is hourly only.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Thanks

You can schedule a batch job on perticular interval..So, if you want  to schedule it after every 5 minutes then put that logic in execute from the anonymous class...

 

Note-There can be only 5 active jobs at a time.

Hi

 

I need advice on how I schedule a job in 5 min interval.

I was only able to do it hourly

 

Many thanks
