Hi team,

Whenever we think about batch job, SOF and Runbasebatch comes to the mind. But let me know why MS introduced SOF for batch job , where we have still Runbasebatch.

What is the difference between them. Which approach is more reliable to use

Pls elaborate.

Thanks!

There are several reasons. For instance:

RunBase framework doesn't respect single-responsibility principle - it mixes UI handling, validations, serialization/deserialization, framework configuration, actual business logic... SysOperation framework does it differently - there is an object for data contract and the business logic depends just on the data contract. The controller doesn't need to know anything about UI handling; that's the responsibility of the UI builder. And so on.

When implementing a RunBase class, you need to implement serialization and deserializing on your own. Not only it means extra work, but it was a common source of errors because developers failed to do it correctly.

You don't have to create UI manually - the automatic UI builder does it for you based on the data contract

SysOperation framework has new features, such as several asynchronous execution modes with callbacks.

Thanks Martin,

Here in Runbasebatch, Pack and Unpack we needs to create our own. But in SOF, it's handled automatically.

Here framework configuration means, recurrence setting?

And one more things I guess, SOF support MVC architecture, so Contract , Controller and Service class.

Kindhy verify please. thanks!

I mean things that you know do in the controller, such as canGoBatch().

I already covered MVC in my first point (without explicitly naming the pattern).

Thanks Martin,

In Runbasebatch, cangobatch method determined the job can executed in batch. I saw this method.

But I never seen this method in SOF. Is it running behind in controller class?

Kindly elaborate pls. thanks!
