CRON TASK in MAXIMO 5.2

[hapurohi]

Hi all,
        Can anybody explain me all the steps for configuring and creating Crontask in MAXIMO 5.2. I just want to know flow of execution about Crontask.

Thanks

you have to define your own class that extends the SimpleCronTask
here you have to code the init() and the cronAction() methods.
At last you have to put a few lines in the maximo.properties to activate the crontask (and then rebuild/redeploy)

thanks for such a useful response.
could u plz show me the code, which i have to write in MXSERVER.PROPERTIES file to activate crontask?




regards,
Harry

this is an example for the class:

package psdi.cust.app.workorder;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.*;
import psdi.mbo.*;
import psdi.security.SecurityServiceRemote;
import psdi.security.UserInfo;
import psdi.server.*;
import psdi.util.*;

public class MyNewCronTask extends SimpleCronTask
{

   public CreateWorkOrderFromExternalCronTask()
   {
      initialized = false;
      userInfo = null;
      configData = null;
      isSystem = true;
   }

   public void init()
   {
      //PUT HERE YOUR INITIALIZATION ACTIVITIES (if you have some)
      initialized = true;
   }

   public String getName()
   {
      return "CreateWorkOrderFromExternalCronTask";
   }

   public void cronAction()
   {
      if(!initialized)
         return;
      //PUT HERE WHAT THE CRON TASK SHOULD DO
   }

   private MXServer mxserver;
   private boolean initialized;
   private UserInfo userInfo;
   private Properties configData;
   private String logFilePath;
   private static final String varNames[] = {"NO", "YES"};
   PrintStream logWriter;
   boolean isSystem;

}


in the mxserver.properties you have to insert your new cron task setting his timing.

mxe.cronTask.psdi.app.report.MyNewCronTask =5m


have a try !
