calling api from postman that creating batch job class x++

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Menna Allah Ahmed 163
I want to call api that creating batch job class and executing it . This class will take all service orders from CRM and insert it in FO .
I tried to do that by creating service and service group and two classes , one is runnable class get token , request , response and insert data (it works well when I create batch job manually and data inserted)
other class is creating batch job and execute it but it doesn't work 
This class that I called in service 
 
class InsertSO_FromCRM 
{
    public void InsertWO_FO()
    {   
                BatchHeader                                           batHeader;
                BatchInfo                                           batInfo;
                WO_SO_CRM                                          WO_SO_CRM ;
                str sParmCaption = /CFM Insert work orders Batch 2/;
                WO_SO_CRM  = new WO_SO_CRM();
                batInfo = WO_SO_CRM .batchInfo();
                batInfo.parmCaption('CFM Insert work orders Batch 2');
                batInfo.parmGroupId(//);
                batHeader = BatchHeader::construct();
                batHeader.addTask(WO_SO_CRM);
                batHeader.save();
                info(strFmt(/%1 batch has been scheduled./, sParmCaption));
    }
}
 
 
So what 's missing or what should I do to call service 
I called it like 
service name : InsertSO_FromCRM
service group name : TestJSONServiceGroup
I have the same question (0)

    Hi @Menna,
     
    Try this :
    class InsertSO_FromCRM 
{
    public void InsertWO_FO()
    {         
        BatchHeader                 header;
        SysRecurrenceData           sysRecurrenceData;
        Batch                       batch;
        BatchJob                    batchJob;
        WO_SO_CRM                   WO_SO_CRM; // Class extends RunBaseBatch
        BatchInfo                   processBatchInfo;
        BatchRetries                noOfRetriesOnFailure = 4;
        ;
 
        // Setup the RunBaseBatch Job
        header = BatchHeader::construct();
        WO_SO_CRM = new WO_SO_CRM();
        processBatchInfo = WO_SO_CRM.batchInfo();
        processBatchInfo.parmRetriesOnFailure(noOfRetriesOnFailure);
        processBatchInfo.parmCaption("My batch 2"); // Description Batch Job
        processBatchInfo.parmGroupId(''); // Batch Gorup
        processBatchInfo.parmBatchExecute(NoYes::Yes);
        header.addTask(WO_SO_CRM);
 
        // Set the recurrence data
        sysRecurrenceData = SysRecurrence::defaultRecurrence();
        SysRecurrence::setRecurrenceStartDateTime(sysRecurrenceData, DateTimeUtil::addSeconds(DateTimeUtil::utcNow(), 20)); // Set range of recurrence
        SysRecurrence::setRecurrenceNoEnd(sysRecurrenceData);
        SysRecurrence::setRecurrenceUnit(sysRecurrenceData, SysRecurrenceUnit::Minute); // Set reccurence pattern
        header.parmRecurrenceData(sysRecurrenceData);
        // Set the batch alert configurations
        header.parmAlerts(NoYes::Yes, NoYes::Yes, NoYes::Yes, NoYes::Yes, NoYes::Yes);
        header.save();
    }
}

    Hi,
     
    Did you try to call it from runnable class? Also, can share what you got when you called it through the postman?

    Hi @Menna,
    I suggest you follow these steps :
    - Create a runnable class with the code of batch job (for e.g. CreateBatchJob)
    - Create a ActionMenuItem and assigned to runnable class (CreateBatchJob)
    - Call this menu item from your class
    MenuFunction    menuFunction;
Args            args = new Args();

menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuItemActionStr(CreateBatchJob), MenuItemType::Action);
menuFunction.run(args);

    Hi Mohamed , 
    thanks for helping me but still doesn't work I created a new runnable class with code and called menu item in another class but still I have the same problem when I called this api from postman batch job doesn't create .
    This is runnable class 
    internal final class InsertSO_Runnable
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Class entry point. The system will call this method when a designated menu 
        /// is selected or when execution starts and this class is set as the startup class.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name = "_args">The specified arguments.</param>
        public static void main(Args _args)
        {
            BatchHeader                                           batHeader;
            BatchInfo                                           batInfo;
            WO_SO_CRM                                          WO_SO_CRM ;
            str sParmCaption = "CFM Insert work orders Batch 3";
            WO_SO_CRM  = new WO_SO_CRM();
            batInfo = WO_SO_CRM .batchInfo();
            batInfo.parmCaption('CFM Insert work orders Batch 3');
            batInfo.parmGroupId("");
            batHeader = BatchHeader::construct();
            batHeader.addTask(WO_SO_CRM);
            batHeader.save();
            info(strFmt("%1 batch has been scheduled.", sParmCaption));
        }
    }
     
    this is class that I called in service
    class InsertSO_FromCRM 
    {
        public void InsertWO_FO()
        {
            MenuFunction    menuFunction;
            Args            args = new Args();
            menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuItemActionStr(CreateBatchJob_InsertedSO), MenuItemType::Action);
            menuFunction.run(args);

        }
    }
     
    this is my api that I called from postman
    DEVURL/api/services/TestJSONServiceGroup/InsertSO_FromCRM/InsertWO_FO

    Hi @Menna,
     
    Try to run the class in asynchronous mode 
    Global::runAsync(...);

    Hi Menna,

    Are you getting any errors from postman?

    did you try to debug the service class when calling the api from postman to see what goes wrongly? compare the values of the buffers when you create it manually and when you create via postman to see what's wrong

    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan
