Dear Gentlemen,

i am creating a new batch job using x++ code, using the below code:

class IS_BatchClassTEst extends RunBaseBatch

{

boolean canGoBatchJournal()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public container pack()
    {
        return conNull();
    }

    //Returns the stored object for the batch to use
    public boolean unpack(container packedClass)
    {
        return true;
    }

    //Determines whether to run on server or client
//True - Server; False - Client
    public boolean runsImpersonated()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public void Run()
    {
      // info("Batch WOrking");
    }

}

I was able to retrieve the class in Microsoft dynamics 365 but the code isn't executing.

When the status is ended, i don't get the results ( let's say an info message saying Batch Working).

can you please advise if i am missing something ? And if i can use main(Args _args) instead of run () ?

Regards,

I have the same question (0)

RE: Create batch job through X++ code

You can create batch in two ways by extending RunbaseBatch or using Sysoperation framework. You are doing using RunbaseBatch. You can refer standard doc and figure out what you are doing wrong

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/developer/walkthrough-extending-runbasebatch-class-to-create-and-run-a-batch

If you want to learn about how to create batch using Sysoperation framework refer below links.

RE: Create batch job through X++ code

How did you set the batch to run? I don't see any main method in your class. Normally there would be a main method in RunBaseBatch based batches. That's executed when you launch the class from menu (menu item), and it contains the logic for showing the batch setup dialog (calling prompt method) and running the actual logic (run method).

Check Tutorial_RunbaseBatch class in AOT.

RE: Create batch job through X++ code

main() and run() do completely different things; you can't use one instead of the other.

run() is what will execute when the batch is actually triggered.

main() is called when you have a menu item for the class. All it typically does it creating an instance, calling prompt() (to display a dialog) and run().

Your run() method won't do anything, because it doesn't contain any runnable code. The call of info() is commented out.

Also, it's not clear whether you know how to see the result. You would find Infolog messages in batch history ("Log" button).

RE: Create batch job through X++ code

Dear Nikolaos,

This code is just an example, the below code is the one im trying to generate:

public class IS_RetailStatementJournalShortage extends RunBaseBatch

{

/// <summary>

/// Runs the class with the specified arguments.

/// </summary>

/// <param name = "_args">The specified arguments.</param>

public static void main(Args _args)

{

//my code

}

boolean canGoBatchJournal()

{

return true;

}

public container pack()

{

return conNull();

}

//Returns the stored object for the batch to use

public boolean unpack(container packedClass)

{

return true;

}

//Determines whether to run on server or client

//True - Server; False - Client

public boolean runsImpersonated()

{

return true;

}

}

What i want to know is, is there any missing method that keeping my code not running ?

Regards,

RE: Create batch job through X++ code

I'm sorry but we can't troubleshoot your code if you don't share it and instead share some "just an example" that doesn't contain all the details.

Please share your full class. For example, we still can't see what's in your main method so it's just not possible for us to see what could be wrong.

RE: Create batch job through X++ code

One more thing, please use the code formatting when you share your code, so that it's easier to read.

You can reach it by "Use rich text formatting -> Insert -> Insert Code

This time I did it for you.

Looking at your code, it seems that you ignored our earlier comments. Please read our earlier posts again.

Here's a summary of them:

In main method, you must call prompt() which shows the batch dialog.

Then you must call run to run the actual batch logic.

Please check class Tutorial_RunBaseBatch in AOT.
