Step Scheduler Job

Using Breezz Framework we can schedule Step.

Let’s schedule a simple step.

Step 1: Create Step Class

Create a class and name it CloseInactiveCases.

Remember that you can use the Generate Step Code button for it or make one yourself.

Here’s the code for the class:

 1// class need to extends forvendi.Step class
 2public with sharing class CloseInactiveCases extends forvendi.Step {
 3
 4
 5    // public default constructor need to available
 6    public CloseInactiveCases() {
 7        // for the technical reasons we have to pass the class name - without this,
 8        // the framework will not be able to execute this step in async context and create correct logs
 9        super(CloseInactiveCases.class.getName());
10    }
11
12
13    public override Boolean initRecordProcessing(Object record, Object optionalOldRecord) {
14
15
16        // we can cast record parameter to Case because step we are planning to pass list of Cases
17        Case caseRecord = (Case) record;
18
19
20        // using Modification Context to save changes in the database
21        getContext().addModificationToUpdate(
22                caseRecord.Id,
23                Case.Status,
24                (caseRecord.Status.contains('Closed')) ? caseRecord.Status : 'Closed');
25
26
27        // returning false - because we have all we need to finish process
28        return false;
29    }
30}

Step 2: Create a test method for the Step class.

Our next step is to create a test method for our new Step Class.

Here’s the code for the method:

@IsTest
private class CloseInactiveCasesTest {


    @TestSetup
    static void testSetup() {
        // initializing Breezz setup,
        // you have to provide forvendi.BreezzPlugins.BaseApexPlugin implementation if you would like to
        // use public classes like CloseInactiveCases in Breezz
        forvendi.BreezzApi.TESTS.init('BreezzPlugin');
    }


    @IsTest
    static void when_CaseIsInactive_expect_ChangeStatusToClosed() {


        Case caseRecord = new Case(Status = 'Working', Origin = 'Web');
        List<Case> cases = new List<Case>{caseRecord};


        Test.startTest();
        insert cases;
        forvendi.BreezzApi.STEPS.build()
                .addStep(new CloseInactiveCases())
                .execute(cases);
        Test.stopTest();


        forvendi.BreezzAPI.TESTS.assertErrorLogs();
        caseRecord = (Case) forvendi.BreezzAPI.TESTS.loadRecordById(caseRecord.Id);


        Assert.areEqual('Closed', caseRecord.Status);
    }
}

Step 3: Register Step

We need to create a new Step in the ProcessingCases group.

To create new Step go to Breezz Setup → Step Groups → ProcessingCases → Click New Step.

Step 4: Register Scheduler Job

To add Step Group to Scheduler go to Breezz Setup → Scheduler Jobs → click New.

After getting records from the query from Scheduler will update the status field on Cases where the last modified date is more than 7 days ago.

Input Name for Scheduler Job and a comprehensive Description. For Job Type select Step Group. Execution Interval selects the time when scheduler must be executed, for us it’s Sunday midnight. In the Step Group input the name of Step Group. In SOQL Query use SELECT statement to return records on which you want to work.

Step 5: Test Step Scheduler

You can re-run Scheduler manually from apex. Using Developer Console → Open Execute Anonymous Window:

forvendi.BreezzApi.SCHEDULER.rerun();
Or
forvendi.BreezzApi.SCHEDULER.run(CloseInactiveCases);

Or you can Run Manually in Scheduler Jobs Settings in Scheduler Jobs.

To check if a scheduler was created go to App Launcher → Breezz → Breezz Scheduler Jobs → All Custom Jobs.

Here you can see your Scheduler:

Steps Group Scheduler Job is designed to work with fewer records and to work more frequently. To work with more records, e.g. 10,000. We should use Step - Batch, which is described in the next page.
