Available Methods to Use

To schedule a process run, you can use one of the following methods.

 Method 1
CRMBOProcessRunDefinitionBean.java
/**
 * Schedules a process.
 * 
 * @param processRunLogID - the process run log id
 * @param processRunLogNum - the process run log number
 * @param EJBName - the EJB class name containing the method call
 * @param processRunFunction - the name of the method to call
 * @param processRunDesc - the process run description
 * @param executionDate - the date that the process run is going to be executed
 * @param entityName - the entity name of entity that is being scheduled
 * @param entityID - the id of entity that is being scheduled
 * @throws Exception
 */
public Date scheduleProcess(String processRunLogID, String processRunLogNum, String EJBName, String processRunFunction,	String processRunDesc, Date executionDate,String entityName,String entityID) throws Exception

Note that the entityName and entityID parameters are the name and id of the entity, as they are defined in entities metadata file


 Method 2
CRMBOProcessRunDefinitionBean.java
/**
 * Schedules a process.
 * 
 * @param processRunLogID - the process run log id
 * @param processRunLogNum - the process run log number
 * @param EJBName - the EJB class name containing the method call
 * @param processRunFunction - the name of the method to call
 * @param processRunDesc - the process run description
 * @param cronExpression - the cron expression that defines when the process run is going to be executed
 * @param entityName - the entity name of entity that is being scheduled
 * @param entityID - the id of entity that is being scheduled
 * @throws Exception
 */
public Date scheduleProcess(String processRunLogID, String processRunLogNum, String EJBName, String processRunFunction,String processRunDesc, String cronExpression,String entityName,String entityID) throws Exception {


The cronExpression parameter is used for complex triggers and defines the date and time of task execution. The valid forms of cronExpression are:

 ExpressionMeaning
0 0 12 * * ?Fire at 12pm (noon) every day
0 15 10 ? * *Fire at 10:15am every day
0 15 10 * * ?Fire at 10:15am every day
0 15 10 * * ? *Fire at 10:15am every day

0 15 10 ? * 6L 2002-2005Fire at 10:15am on every last friday of every month during the years 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005
0 15 10 ? * 6#3Fire at 10:15am on the third Friday of every month


How to use the available methods

In the example below, you can see how the first method is used to send a process run log to the scheduler for execution. 

 Scheduler tasks
Submit a process run log to the scheduler 
 public Process submit(CRMDOProcessRunLog processRunLog) throws Exception {
		Process process =null;
  		CRMDOProcessRunDefinition processRunDefinition = processRunLog.getProcessRunDefinition();
  		SchedulerTask schedulerTask = processRunDefinitionXMLUtilBean.loadScheduleSettings(processRunDefinition.getSchSettingXML());
  		
		CronExpression cron = new CronExpression(SchedulerUtil.createCronExpression(this, schedulerTask).getCron());
		Date startDate	= schedulerTask.getRecurrdate();
		if(startDate==null || startDate.before(getCurrentDate()))
		{
			startDate = DateUtil.addSeconds(getCurrentDate(),5);
			
		}else if(schedulerTask.getRunmode().equals(SchedulerUtil.RUN_MODE_RECURRENCE) || schedulerTask.getRunmode().equals(SchedulerUtil.RUN_MODE_REPEAT))
		{
			startDate = DateUtil.addSeconds(startDate,-5);
		}
		
		Date nextExecutionDate = cron.getNextValidTimeAfter(startDate);
  		Date endDate = schedulerTask.getEnddate();//schedulerTask.calculateEndDate();
  		if (nextExecutionDate!=null)
  		{
  			Entity entity = MetadataUtil.getEntityByClass(processRunDefinition.getClass().getName(), getCRMSession().getRealPath(), getOrganisationID());
  			
  			if(endDate==null || nextExecutionDate.before(endDate))
  			{
  		    	processRunLogBean.save(processRunLog);
	  			
		  		Module module = MetadataUtil.getModuleByID(
		  				processRunDefinition.getModule(), 
		  				getCRMSession().getRealPath(), 
		  				getOrganisationID());
		  		
		  		process = MetadataUtil.getModuleAdditionalProcess(module, processRunDefinition.getProcess());
		  		
		  		ArrayList<Method> methods = process.getMethods();
		  		
		  		for (int i=0; i<methods.size(); i++)
		  		{
		  			Method method = methods.get(i);
		  			
		  			String dateInfo	= DateUtil.getDateString(processRunLog.getCreatedDate(), "dd MM yyyy HH mm ss");
		  			dateInfo		= dateInfo.replaceAll("\\s","");
		  			String jobName	= processRunLog.getNumber() + "_" + dateInfo;
		  			
		  			Date scheduledDate = CRMProcessRun.scheduleProcess(
		  					processRunLog.getId(), 
		  					jobName, 
		  					method.getEjbname(),
		  					method.getMethodname(),
		  					processRunDefinition.getDescription(),
		  					nextExecutionDate,
		  					entity.getId(),
		  					processRunDefinition.getId());
		  			
		  			processRunDefinition.setScheduledDate(scheduledDate);
		  			save(processRunDefinition);
		  		}
			
  			}
  		}
		return process;
	}
