Multi-threaded batch job
Normally, when we schedule our "Run Base Batch" class as a batch job, it will create a single task. Which will be responsible to execute the complete process in a single thread.
But, As you know like AX-2009 and AX-2012. In D365FO We can add multiple AOS servers in a single batch group and they can process multiple tasks simultaneously.
In this demo, I will show, How to create a multi-threading Batch job.
following are the steps
Step-1 Create a table for demo purposes in our demo we keep the table name is SLD_DemoTable.
Step-2 Create a class with the name SLD_DemoBusinessLogic and write your business logic in this class.
In the demo, I write only to insert records in a table and show you guys how it works.
Reference Code
class SLD_DemoBusinessLogic
{
public void processInit(VendTable _vend)
{
SLD_DemoTable SLDDemoTable;
SLDDemoTable.clear();
SLDDemoTable.VendName=_vend.name();
SLDDemoTable.VendAccount=_vend.AccountNum;
SLDDemoTable.insert();
}
}
Step-3 Create a batch job class with the name SLD_DemoMultiThreadTask.
This class we will use as Task in the main batch job.
Step-4 In this class We Create a getter setter to store vend table buffer;
Step-5 Create an object of our business logic class and execute the method
Reference Code
public class SLD_DemoMultiThreadTask extends RunBaseBatch
{
VendTable ventTableBuffer;
#DEFINE.CurrentVersion(1)
#LOCALMACRO.CurrentList
ventTableBuffer
#ENDMACRO
public ClassDescription caption()
{
ClassDescription ret;
ret = 'Update Multiple
Thread task';
return ret;
}
container pack()
{
return [#CurrentVersion,#CurrentList];
}
public boolean unpack(container _packedClass)
{
int version = conPeek(_packedClass,1);
switch (version)
{
case #CurrentVersion:
[version,#CurrentList] =
_packedClass;
break;
default:
return false;
}
return true;
}
public void pramVendBuffer(VendTable _vend)
{
ventTableBuffer=_vend;
}
public void run()
{
try
{
SLD_DemoBusinessLogic SLDDemoBusinessLogic=new SLD_DemoBusinessLogic();
SLDDemoBusinessLogic.processInit(ventTableBuffer);
}
catch
{
info(strFmt("%1",xSession::xppCallStack()));
}
}
}
Step-6 Now Create the main batch job which will respond to create multiple tasks in the single batch job.
Reference Code
class SLD_DemoMultiThreadBatch extends RunBaseBatch
{
BatchHeader batchHeader;
VendTable
vendTable;
public static void main(Args args)
{
SLD_DemoMultiThreadBatch objMultiThread = new SLD_DemoMultiThreadBatch();
if (objMultiThread.prompt())
{
objMultiThread.run();
}
}
void run()
{
SLD_DemoMultiThreadTask SLDDemoMultiThreadTask;
try
{
while select firstonly10 vendTable
{
if(this.isInBatch())
{
if(!batchHeader)
{
batchHeader = BatchHeader::construct(this.parmCurrentBatch().BatchJobId);
}
batchHeader.parmCaption("Multiple
thread batch jobs");
SLDDemoMultiThreadTask
= new SLD_DemoMultiThreadTask();
SLDDemoMultiThreadTask.pramVendBuffer(vendTable.data());
// add tasks to the
batch header
batchHeader.addRuntimeTask(SLDDemoMultiThreadTask, this.parmCurrentBatch().RecId);
}
else
{
// execute your code
here when not running in batch
}
}
if(batchHeader)
{
// save the
batchheader with added tasks
batchHeader.save();
}
}
catch
{
info(strFmt("%1",xSession::xppCallStack()));
}
}
public container pack()
{
return conNull();
}
public boolean unpack(container packedClass)
{
return true;
}
}
Step-7 Now create an Action menu item and reference our batch job SLD_DemoMultiThreadBatch .
Step-8 Build and sync database and module and run the job.
Step-9 Navigate to your batch job page and find your job and check Job Task.
Step-10 before execution of the batch job check the demo table.
you can check the below screenshot currently table is empty.
After execution of the job table filled with vendors' names.
