ScheduledApexRecipes

ScheduledApexRecipes

Demonstrates how to implement the Schedulable interface. The methods in this class are designed to be scheduled, similar to a cron job.

More on the Schedulable interface: https://sfdc.co/scheduled-apex

Implemented types

Schedulable

Group Async Apex Recipes

See ScheduledApexDemo

See BatchApexRecipes

Fields

private TEST_CRON_STATEMENT → String

TESTVISIBLE

---

Methods

public void execute(SchedulableContext context)

This is the one method required by the Schedulable interface. Key requirements are that it be public, and void. Best practice is to keep your logic in a different class. In this case, we're calling code in the ScheduledApexDemo class.

Note: You can use the schedulable interface to schedule Batch Classes but it's generally easier to use System.ScheduleBatch instead. See BatchApexRecipes for more information.

Parameters

Param	Description
context	Dependency Injected by the System

Example

System.schedule('Friendly Message to identify this job',
                 ScheduledApexRecipes.TEST_CRON_STATEMENT,
                 new ScheduledApexRecipes());
