SDBatch (Legacy)

SDBatch is intended to use if clients intends batching SD Jobs together to be created. The goal is to create the SD Job records individually with Start__c=false then use SDBatch to gather all SD Jobs created and run them in sync. As long as the client is able to place the base record IDs in a list to reference, they can use the following apex class as a reference point.

The following instructions are intended for creating a test SDBatch class and provide more insight how the application operates.

Instructions

To test SDbatch quickly, we designed a method similar to Mass Merge. The intention is to have the user choose records from a list view and pass them to the class to create the jobs and run SDBatch.

1

Create your APEX class

Note: The template name or ID will need to be decided and placed into the class (line 25 & 31).

public class SDBatchTest {
    private ApexPages.StandardSetController stdSetController;

    public SDBatchTest(ApexPages.StandardSetController sscOther) {
        stdSetController = sscOther;
    }
    
    public PageReference createBatchTest() {
        String objectName = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('objectName');
        Boolean showHeader = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('showHeader') != 'false';

        List<SObject> selectedRecords = stdSetController.getSelected();
        if (Test.isRunningTest()) {
            selectedRecords = new List<SObject> { new Contact(LastName='Test') };
        }
       
        //This is responsible for the SDJob creation. Start__c must be set to False. 
        List<SDOC__SDJob__c> jobList = new List<SDOC__SDJob__c> {};
          for(SObject selectedRecord : selectedRecords) {
            SDOC__SDJob__c job =
            new SDOC__SDJob__c(SDOC__Start__c=false,
                              SDOC__Oid__c=String.valueOf(selectedRecord.get('Id')),
                              SDOC__ObjApiName__c=objectName,
                              SDOC__SendEmail__c='0',
                              SDOC__Doclist__c='[<TEMPLATE NAME or ID>]');
            jobList.add(job);
          }
          insert jobList;
        // This is part calls SDBatch and searches for jobs based on isSDJobQuery.        
        SDOC.SDBatch sdb = new SDOC.SDBatch();
        sdb.templatenameorid = '[<TEMPLATE NAME or ID>]';
        sdb.isSDJobQuery = true;
        //The query can be updated for to specify the batch requirements. 
        sdb.query = 'WHERE SDOC__Start__c=false AND SDOC__Status__c != \'Error\''; 
        sdb.batchSize = 10;
        sdb.executeBatch();

        return new PageReference('/');
    }
   
}

Note: The SendEmail parameter is currently not supported with Batch apex, and should be set to 0 as indicated in the example above.

2

Create your Visualforce page

Note: The object API name is added in line 1.

<apex:page standardController="[<OBJECTAPINAME>]" showHeader="false"
extensions="SDBatchTest"

recordSetVar="selected"
action="{!createBatchTest}">
</apex:page>

3

Add the button to the object's List View

The behavior MUST BE SET to: Display in existing window without sidebar or header

Button URL:

/apex/SDBatch_Test?objectName=[<OBJECTAPINAME>]

Testing

1. The user will select a set of records from the list view and click the SDBatch button.
2. The SDJobs will be created with 0%, but will be completed as the Apex Job completes.

Note: There may be some at 100% and some at 0%. This is likely linked to the batchsize in the apex class.

Additional Notes:

• The batch can be tracked from Setup > Apex Jobs
• The Apex Jobs page has a respective Batch Jobs page. This will provide more detail of each batch created such as Submitted/Completed Date and Elapsed Time.
