Setting batch status via X++

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello:

I'm setting up a batch job through X++ code but I would like to create the batch job in a 'withhold' state initially. Below is a snippet of the code I'm using. 

...

batInfo = rbbTask.batchInfo();
batInfo.parmCaption(sParmCaption);
batInfo.parmGroupId("");
batHeader = BatchHeader::construct();
batHeader.addUserAlerts(curUserId(),NoYes::Yes,NoYes::Yes,NoYes::Yes,NoYes::Yes,NoYes::Yes);
batHeader.addTask(rbbTask);
batHeader.save();

...

Thank you!

    Hi DHeisman,

    I did not understand exactly what your goal....but you can create batch jobs in classes that extends RunBaseBatch. (the batch job process create automatically batch tables)

    take a look:

     >RunBaseBatch:

    I Hope this helps!

    Hi Rodolfo,

    Sorry for the confusion. I have setup a class that extends the RunBaseBatch class and I'm able to create a batch job. The job runs properly and completes without issue. This is a one-time job and isn't setup for reoccurrence. Users set this batch job on an as-needed basis a custom form backed by code which programmatically creates the batch job. What I was curious about was whether I can set the status of the batch job to Withhold through code as I programmatically create the batch job. Hope that clears up the confusion.

    Thanks in advance.

    I believe you can do this.

    After batHeader.save(), I would add something like:

       select forupdate firstOnly batchJob

           where batchJob.RecId == batHeader.parmBatchHeaderId();

       if(batchJob)

       {

           batchJob.Status = BatchStatus::Hold;

           batchJob.update();

       }

    where batchJob is an instance of the BatchJob table.
