finalTask method in DMF custom entity class does not execute

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Abhinay Tharwal 1,197

Hi,

I have a DMF custom entity class that extends "DMFEntityBase" and uses attribute "[DMFAttribute(true)]"

in the finalTask method I have:

public Batchable finalTask()
{
    Batchable ret;

    MyClassFinalTask     finalTask = new MyClassFinalTask();

    ret = finalTask;

    //TrackCode::insLine("MyClassFinalTask/finalTask");

    return ret;
}

This code works fine for other custom entities, I am not sure why it would not work in this case.

"MyClassFinalTask" extends "RunBaseBatch"

I have done full CIL, full compile.

Could you please suggest what is going wrong here?

    Hi,

    I had forgotten to update the post here. I Ran the "Get staging data" from the DMF>Processing group which opens the "Staging data execution" form, in the entity details grid I changed the Type from default "File" to "Directory" also checked "Execute target step". After these changes the 'FinalTask" method got executed.

    Regards,

    Abhinay

    There is definitely a simple solution.

    Why not call DMFEntityBase.parmStagingToTarget() with an if condition?

    I'm also curious that you mentioned "..This code works fine for other custom entities.." a slight Elaboration on this perhaps?

    Hi Crispin,

    Thank you for your reply!

    [quote user="Crispin John Augustine"]can you share why did you use finalTask method ?[/quote][quote user="Crispin John Augustine"]this is invoked only when importing data to staging table[/quote]

    I have some business logic to execute after every attempt to import data into the staging table. So, whenever the user hits the button "Get staging data" on the "Processing group" form for my processing group, the class "MyClassFinalTask" should be run.

    Regards,

    Abhinay

    can you share why did you use finalTask method ? (Keep in mind, this is invoked only when importing data to staging table, and not during staging >> target)

    (most likely there is an easier alternative within other DMF methods)
