Batch job not running when batch processing is Yes.

Posted on by Karuna Dogra

Hi Team,

I have a custom batch job which does not have any parameter. When this batch job is ran, it just Ends in 3 seconds and nothing happens. There are no logs on batch jobs.

When I debugged, I found that the service class is not called and it throws a exception directly. For this we have only created controller and service class only, as no parameters are required.

Above is the exception thrown.
Please help.

Thanks

This code indeed can't run in batch. It refers to a form, but no form reference can be stored in the batch table. You'll need to redesign your solution. If you don't know how, please explain to us what you're trying to achieve with this code.

Hi Martin,

The requirement is that, I have a custom form which has some transaction data. I have a button called Export to excel which exports that forms data to excel. However that export takes a lot of time and user has to wait until the processing ends. Sometime it result into timeout also.

That's why we have added batch functionality on that button 'Export to excel' so when user clicks on it the Run in batch forms open and user can set the 'batch processing' as Yes and then it should run in batch.

Please help.

Before answering your question I would like to see the code.

It seems when clicking export to Excel, either the args object or some class is not getting buffer but you are calling some method from it. So please share us the code at clicked method and the controller class.

Unfortunately, your description didn't tell me why and where you're calling the failing code.

If your export logic exports just selected records and just fields visible on the form, then you need to pass this information to the batch through a contract class. Accessing the form from the batch server isn't possible.

Hi,

This button "Export to excel" is actually a action menu item button and on that action menu item my controller class is selected as object.
/// <summary> /// The Class used to export Global production order qty /// </summary> /// GlobalAllProdOrderQty public class xyzProductionOrderQtyController extends SysOperationServiceController { /// <summary> /// Method to show description of the class. /// </summary> /// <returns>Description</returns> public Description getCaption() { return "@KGlobalProductionOrdersQty"; } /// <summary> /// method used to construct controller and data contract. /// </summary> /// <param name = "_args">args</param> /// <returns>controller object</returns> public static xyzProductionOrderQtyController construct(Args _args) { xyzProductionOrderQtyController controller; controller = new xyzProductionOrderQtyController (classStr(xyzProductionOrderQtyServices), methodStr(xyzProductionOrderQtyServices),run), SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous); controller.parmDialogCaption("@KProductionOrdersQty"); return controller; } /// <summary> /// main /// </summary> /// <param name = "_args">args</param> public static void main(Args _args) { xyzProductionOrderQtyController controller = xyzProductionOrderQtyController (_args); controller.startOperation(); } }

And this will not work for selected records. All data which is there in this form/table should be exported to excel and get downloaded. The requirement is that when this button is clicked then entire data showing up on form should be downloaded in to excel and process should run in batch.

You still haven't told us anything about the problematic code, but I see you aren't calling it from the controller, therefore it must be in the service. Referring to the form from the batch server is impossible, therefore we now know that your code is guaranteed to fail.

But until you give us at least some information about the relevant code, I can't comment on how you can redesign it.

Hi,

Add the DataSource property to the menu item name, and check the below links about getting the selected records from caller form:

Setting the Data Source property is not a solution of the problem. The code trying to access the form from the build server will still keep failing. Also, Karuna isn't interested in selected records. And selected records wouldn't be passed to the batch anyway, because no contract class is in use.
