Step 9: Schedule backend jobs
Learn how to schedule backend jobs.
In order for the Salesforce Lightning app to continuously synchronize data between Salesforce and Digital River, you will need to schedule backend batch jobs.
The following batch jobs are part of the Salesforce Lightning app:
- Product Sync batch job
- Fulfillment batch job
- DCM Purge Logs batch job
This batch job is used for product synchronization between Salesforce and Digital River. The Product Sync job will run automatically based on the setting in the batch job configuration record. To update the Product Sync settings, see Configure and synchronize the products.
This job sends Order and Line Item Level Fulfillment/Cancellation requests to Digital River. This is used for Order and Line Item Level Fulfillment/Cancellation.
This job cleans up the DCM purge logs based on the configuration Retention Days using the custom setting Digital River Logger Settings.
This section lists the scripts to schedule the following batch jobs with various batch job run frequency and batch size options.
Batch job name | Description | Default batch size |
Fulfillment/Cancellation | OrderFulfillment is the batch job that needs to be specified while using scripts for scheduling. | 100 |
DCM Purge Log | PurgeLogs is the batch job which needs to be specified while using the scripts for scheduling. | 200 |
The
withSizeparameter can be used to specify batch sizes in the batch job scheduler. The maximum batch size for the
Fulfillment/Cancellation batch job is 100.The following batch job frequencies are used for various batch jobs:
Batch frequency | Description | Example |
Every X minutes | Schedules fewer jobs to run every X minutes in an hour | digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler. <BatchJobName>.scheduleEveryXMinutes(Integer everyMinute) |
Every hour | Schedules jobs to run every hour at a specified minute | digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler. <BatchJobName>.scheduleHourly(Integer minute) |
Every day | Schedules jobs to run every day at a specified time | digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler. <BatchJobName>.scheduleDaily(Integer hour, integer minute) |
Based on cron expression | Schedules jobs based on cron expression | digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler. <BatchJobName>.scheduleCronExpr(String jobNameToShowUnderScheduledJobs, String cronExpression) |
Specifying the batch size is optional while scheduling the jobs. Using the
withSize parameter, the following syntax is used for specifying the batch size when scheduling a job to run every hour: digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler. <BatchJobName>.withSize(50).scheduleHourly
(Integer minute)
The following examples are sample frequency and batch size settings for the Fulfillment/Cancellation batch job and DCM Purge Logs batch job:
digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler.OrderFulfillment.withSize(1).
scheduleHourly
(1);
digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler.OrderFulfillment.scheduleHourly
(1);
digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler.OrderFulfillment.withSize(50).
scheduleEveryXMinutes(5);
digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler.OrderFulfillment.
scheduleCronExpr('Fulfillment Every 4 hours', '0 0 0,4,8,12,16,20 ?
* *');
digitalriverv3.DRB2B_ConnectorScheduler.PurgeLogs.scheduleDaily(2, 0);
