Hi,

If i create a runnable class without a menu item, that prints few things

it can be run multiple times in PROD/UAT, right? 

but i can't run it as batch unless i move the code from runnable class to sysOperationFramework correct? and in this case i will need a menu item?

    "it can be run multiple times in PROD/UAT, right?" - correct, you can run it via the class runner URL, use the format <D365URL>/?cmp=<CompanyName>&mi=SysClassRunner&cls=<RunnableClassName>

    "but i can't run it as batch unless i move the code from runnable class to sysOperationFramework correct? and in this case i will need a menu item?" - yes that's the best way, there is RunBaseBatch but SysOperationFramework is better and preferred. Then create an Action Menu to run your class.
     
    Thanks

    You don't necessarily need a menu item if you use SysOperationFramework. If you implement a custom controller, as usual, it's a runnable class, so you can execute it in the same way as your current class.
     
    On the other hand, if you use a menu item, you don't have to implement your own controller. There you can specify which method of which class will be called by the default controller.
     
    Actually, any class you want to call by a menu item must be runnable. Therefore saying that you must use a menu item instead of a runnable class doesn't make a good sense.

    Hi, Menu item is not mandatory even if you use SysOperation . If a class has a main method, you can run it directly without creating a menu item (just use normal runnable class URL). Menu items are typically used when you want to show them in modules and want to have security implementation.  Ideally you should create for sure, but if you are doing one time activity(data update) then probably you can skip creating menu item as you will probably delete these code once you are done.
