Hi Karthick,

we use scheduler to invoke Apex classes to run at specific times.

You can refer to this link for details and sample code:

Hi Karthick,

if you want to schedule your batch class

just follow the below steps,

write this code in apex class---->

public class classname implements schedulable
{
public void execute(ScheduleContext SC)
{
//create instance for batch class name
batchclassname bt=new batchclasname();
bt.executeUpdate();

}
}

at apex itself we can do schedule but it is only hour basis.

if you want like sec or min basis you can write cron trigger in developer console


goto Developer console

first create instance for scheduleclass
like

classname cls=new classname();
String cron-trig='0 0 11 10 10 ? 2014';
System.schedule('schedulejobname',cron-trig,cls);

click execute go and check in schedule jobs with schedulejobname.

Thanks,
Jagan
