Hi ,

I am trying to perform a task in batch job which should be done when I click ok button of ax form. I have called the main method from the click method of button, but when I check the batch jobs in UI, I cannot see my batch job.

public void clicked(){     super();      BasisController ::main(); }

Controller class

 class BasisController extends SysOperationServiceController {        protected void new ()     {         super();         this.parmClassName(classStr(BasisService));         this.parmMethodName(methodStr(BasisService,processOperation));         this.parmDialogCaption(/cleanup/);         this.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Asynchronous);      }          public static void main ()     {         BasisController controller;          controller = new BasisController();         controller.showBatchTab(true);         controller.parmShowDialog(true);        controller.parmDialogCaption(/Cleanup/);                controller.startOperation();          }}

Service Class

class BasisService extends SysOperationServiceBase{    public void processOperation()    {        info(strFmt(/Hello/));    }}

Please let me know what am I doing wrong and how can I achieve the desired goal?

Please note : I tried 3 times for my code to look good, but everytime after updating the result, it looks same.Apologies for the same.

The obvious problem is that you aren't using a batch execution mode. Use SysOperationExecutionMode::ScheduledBatch or SysOperationExecutionMode::ReliableAsynchronous instead of SysOperationExecutionMode::Asynchronous.

By the way, you should use an action menu item button instead of creating a clicked() method and calling main() from there. It just requires main() method be implemented correctly - you're missing Args parameter there. It simplifies security configuration and it allows reusability of the menu item and its setup (such as the label).

Hi Martin,

I am using this code in controller class in new method. But it did not work

this.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Asynchronous);

Yes, I see you're using it and I'm telling you that SysOperationExecutionMode::Asynchronous doesn't run as a batch. If you want a batch, you mustn't use Asynchronous mode.
