Run batch job within a certain time interval

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Elda Mataj 190
Dears,
We have a request for a batch job to run within a certain time interval 
And I couldn't use the already built in function from Microsoft for the recurrence as for example
A batch job needs to run from 08:00- 15:00, and when the time of the system change in 15:01 the status(field: BatchStatus) of the batchJob must change automaticly in Hold
I have created the table of parameters but I am not being able to identify which is the class which triggers the change of the status of the batchJob
Any help would be appreciated.
I have the same question (0)

    Hi Eva,

    Do you want to check the current time after the execution of the batch job and based on parameters and current time set it to Waiting or Hold? I'm not sure if changing the batch framework is a good option for this requirement.

    Have you considered creating a new batch job (run it very frequently) that will go through your parameters and change status accordingly similar to BatchChangeStatus class?

    Also, there is an option to set up a period when AOS will accept batch jobs on "Server configuration" form (System administration - Setup - System - Server configuration). You can assign a batch group to AOS which will accept batch job sonly within a certain period.

    Hello Sergei,

    Thank you for your responese.

    I want to check the current time while executing the batch job. If the current time is not inside the interval based on my table of parameters, I want to change the status of the Batch in "Hold" and not execute the batch.

    And if the current time is inside the interval, I want to change the status of the Batch in "Executing" and execute the batch.

    Eva.

    Hi Eva,

    Could you, please, provide more information why you can't use built-in features?

    As i said previously, customizing batch framework itself is not a good idea. Maybe you can re-design approach with solution which is not required modifying batch framework: like seperate batch job, or you can still run batch job which is not supposed to run, but instead of executing logic, just skip it.
