Initialize contract parameters for recurrence batch job in SysOperationFramework

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MSandy 221

Hello,

We are using D365FO.

I have a contract class where i am initializing the "from date" and "to Date" by implementing sysOperationInitializable. I decorated my contract class with SysOperationAlwaysInitializeAttribute. when i manually run the batch job, contract taking newly initialized values every time but when i add this to a Batch Job with recurrence it is not taking the initialized values instead running with the same contract values every time.

could you please help me what is the issue?

Thanks,

Sandeep

    My code is like this:

    [DataContractAttribute, SysOperationAlwaysInitializeAttribute]

    public class DataContract implements SysOperationInitializable

    public void initialize()

       {

           fromDate    = prevQtr(DateTimeUtil::getSystemDate(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone()));

           toDate      = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDate(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone());

       }

    There is no issue; it works as expected. Values are initialized when the dialog is displayed, which happens when you're scheduling the batch, but not when the batch is executed.

    It seems that your intention is always setting the dates in code and not getting them from the dialog at all.

    Thanks Martin for responding!

    Is it possible to make the date parameters from dialog be relative in which the recurrence will work?

    If that is not possible, how can we initialize the date range for every recurrence of batch job?

    Thanks

    Can you please elaborate what you mean by "relative in which the recurrence will work"?

    If you want to do something relative to the current day, you can simply call DateTimeUtil::utcNow() inside the operation.

    what I understood from your previous reply is that batch job won't initialize the parameters every time while executing based on parameters initialized in Dialog while scheduling so we need to initialize that in code level for every recurrence.

    I'll try to add my piece of code

    fromDate    = prevQtr(DateTimeUtil::getSystemDate(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone()));

    toDate      = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDate(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone());

    in service class of my batch job. I hope this works for every recurrence.

    Please add if anything required Martin, Thanks
