Quartz Scheduler

Manually scheduling a task

While batch-jobs are scheduled automatically, other background tasks (like sending mails) need to be scheduled using the TaskSchedulingService.

• jobClass is the class of the task that should be executed

• taskName is the name of the job (used to be TaskData#setName())

• taskType should be a valid Callable_type

• jobData is the equivalent of TaskData. This data is persisted and available during task execution. The data is serialized using Xstream (as before) and supports custom data (putString() and putObject()) and also contains some methods to configure the environment (putPrincipal() and putBusinessUnit()).

• executionDate point of time when the job should be started

Tests

Tests for batch-jobs can be easily migrated to EasyBatchjobTestCase.

See Batchjob Testing section.

Startup behaviour

ch.tocco.nice2.enableUpgradeMode=true

During the database upgrade, the scheduler is completely disabled. It is not possible execute any tasks and batch jobs will not be synchronized with the database.

UPDATE run environment

During the UPDATE environment, the scheduler is started, but all batch-job triggers will be paused. However explicitly submitted jobs will still be executed. The same behaviour can be achieved using the ch.tocco.nice2.tasks.disable.persistent.task.scheduling property.
