D365FO Batch Job retries

 

Enable automatic retries on batch jobs

In the April/May released, Microsoft introduces the feature to retry the batch job, In the past, if the Finance and Operations apps experience any kind of loss of connection to Microsoft SQL Server, then all batch jobs that are running fail, and the reason is, on Azure if the connection is lost then the recovery is almost impossible.

So, Microsoft introduces an Interface class that will batch to reset itself in case of connection loss or failure.

How you can implement it in your code?

Here is an example if you are using the "RunBaseBatch" class in your batch Job.

class TestBatchJob extends RunBaseBatch implements BatchRetryable

{

    [Wrappable(true), Replaceable(true)] // Change to meet your customizability requirements

    public boolean isRetryable() // Use final if you want to prevent overriding

    {

        return true; 

    }

}

 Here is an example if you are using the "SysOperationServiceController" class in your batch Job.

class TestBatchJob extends SysOperationServiceController implements BatchRetryable

{

    [Wrappable(true), Replaceable(true)] // Change to meet your customizability requirements

    public boolean isRetryable() // Use final if you want to prevent overriding

    {

        return true;

    }

}

Important

If you designing a multithreading job and adding the runtime task, then you should implement this interface on both the main controller and the task controller.

If you want to disable the retry of the batch job then add your class in the 

Batch class configuration overrides

Batch Job Multi threading D365FO AX7

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.
