Creating Custom Scheduled Jobs

Creating Custom Scheduled Jobs

1.  I have a custom scheduled job created but it always runs in context 'site' and always returns null.  I understand this is by design.

2.  When I try to schedule my custom job in my org, my custom job name does not display in the job listbox to choose.  The custom job name only displays when I am in the job administrator scheduler for 'site'.

3.  I am struggling how to get my custom job name to display in the job administrator scheduler for my 'org' and have not been able to verify if my custom job java code is correct.   See the code below.

 

Any hints or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

I think there is a mistake in your properties:

You should have an identical name either publishPTPrefix109 or PTPrefix109.

Maybe a better way for me to approach my issue with the community is forget about the Java code first and focus on why I cannot run my custom schedule job in my 'org' context?

 

I added my entries to wvs.properties.xconf

   <Property default="publishPTPrefix109" name="schedulejobs22"/>
   <Property default="publishPTPrefix109" name="publishPTPrefix109.description"/>
   <Property default="ext.custoers.provisur.customJobs" name="PTCustomJobs.class"/>
   <Property default="PTPrefix109" name="PTPrefix109.method"/>
   <Property default="true" name="PTPrefix109.enableOnContainers"/>
   <Property default="publishJob" name="PTPrefix109.jobType"/>

 

I then ran xconfmanager -p

 

when I go to browse / site / wvs job scheduler administration, I see my job listed and if I run it, it will run in context 'site'

 

When I go to browse / org / wvs job scheduler administration, I do not see my job listed.   

 

The question is Why?

 

thanks

Mike

In wvs.properties.xconf file (i don't believe all the names must be the same. 😞

    <!--  my job name that displays in the wvs job scheduler administration  ->

   <Property default="PTCustomJobs" name="schedulejobs22"/>
   <Property default="PTPrefix109" name="PTCustomJobs.description"/>

   <!--  my PTCustomJobs.class file resides in this codebase subfolder  ->
   <Property default="ext.customer.provisur.customJobs" name="PTCustomJobs.class"/>

   <!--   my Method in my class has a name PTPrefix109  ->
   <Property default="PTPrefix109" name="PTCustomJobs.method"/>
   <Property default="true" name="PTCustomJobs.enableOnContainers"/>
   <Property default="publishJob" name="PTCustomJobs.jobType"/>

 

After xconfmanager -p and restarting windchill services, I tried running my custom job in the scheduler and now I receive the java error ClassNotFoundException.   See below

 

2020-02-27 07:53:26,078 ERROR [WVSScheduleQueue.SchedulingThread] com.ptc.wvs.server.schedule.Schedulable Administrator - executeQuery(): mQueryClass=ext.customer.provisur.customJobs mQueryMethod=PTPrefix109
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ext.customer.provisur.customJobs

 

 

Is the error telling me the windchill classpath is incorrect?  mQueryClass appears to show the correct location under codebase as "ext.customer.provisur.customJobs" where the class file resides.   The mQueryMethod has the correct name PTPrefix109.

 

Thanks.

I have resolved my situation with setting up the wvs.properties.xconf file correctly.  Thanks to the reply by froussel_ca and several other links.

 

Other links helpful include: https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r11.2.0.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCCG_BusLogicCust_WCVisualization_CustPublish.html

My corrected wvs.properties.xconf entries are below:

 

   <Property default="PTCustomJobs" name="schedulejobs22"/>

   <Property default="PTPrefix109" name="PTCustomJobs.description"/>
   <Property default="ext.customers.provisur.customJobs.PTCustomJobs" name="PTCustomJobs.class"/>
   <Property default="PTPrefix109" name="PTCustomJobs.method"/>
   <Property default="true" name="PTCustomJobs.enableOnContainers"/>
   <Property default="publishJob" name="PTCustomJobs.jobType"/>
 
Schedulejobs22 name PTCustomJobs needed to be in each of the entries below as shown above.  The PTCustomJobs.class entry does require the full path of the class.   This is stated in the documentation just remember to put the actual class name in the entry not just the path name.
 
The backgroundMethodServer log file provided the other error messages needed to fix the java routine.
 
Thanks to everyone.
