Hi All,
Is it possible to add a batch job processing to an exisitng AOT form object? or I need to convert it to a runnable batch class?
Thanks!
You can't process a form in batch, because a form isn't a process. It's just something displaying data to users. Focus on the process that you want to run in batch.
The batch processing tab is used in dialogs of RunBaseBatch and SysOperations frameworks, which sole purpose is to collect input parameters for a process. It's not the case of normal, stand-alone forms.
If this is what you mean, note that the usual approach isn't designing a form for a dialog. Dialogs are created at runtime, either in RunBase.dialog() or - in case of SysOperation framework - generated automatically from a data contract definition. Using a form as such a dialog is possible, but normally you should do it only when your requirements can't be met by normal dialogs.
Hi Nikolaos,
I have this requirement where I need to add a batch job processing tab in a existing form, If it is not feasible I guess I can recreate it via runnable class. Thanks for confirming!
Only classes can be run as batches, not forms.
Could you tell us more details about what you are trying to achieve?
