[AX 2012] X++ Batch Job Classes?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by bdzevel 970

Hey,

I appreciate the help in my other '[AX 2012]' thread.

OK so I understand that "Batch Jobs" extend "RunBaseBatch" but how do I know what class to use? In the examples I've found on google, people tend to use examples with custom classes like "TestClassXYZ," which doesn't really help me since I don't want to create a batch job in x++ (or at all for that matter).

Is every batch job its own class? Are the names of these classes at all deterministic (like, BatchJob<BatchJobId> or "BatchJob305932145")? What class(es) is(/are) the batch jobs I see in Inqueries > Batch jobs > "Batch Jobs" / "Batch Job History" ?

I don't want to extend RunBaseBatch to make my own -custom- batch job, I just want to run existing batch jobs.

Thanks.

    Click a job in 'Batch Job', then click 'View Tasks', and you'll be able to see the class name that is used.

    I guess there's no way to run a whole batch?

    Either way, that's pretty cool. You're the man.

    EDIT: Any way to enumerate those classnames externally? Maybe read them from a table or something...?

    What do you mean "run a whole batch"?

    Maybe I have a batch job set up in Inqueries > Batch Jobs > Batch Jobs that I want to run.

    You can start by looking at the Batch table, BatchJob table, and other "Batch" tables.

    You'll have to get the class number from somewhere else.

    Riiiight well this brings us back to my original question: How do I know the class for the batch jobs?

    EDIT: I actually don't need the "classnum" as I can look up these batch jobs by the ID, but I need the class nonetheless to instantiate and call doBatch() on.

    look at the Batch class... There's a className method. Look for className2Id or something in there... That would work for you.

    I'll look into it, thank you very, very, very, very much.
