Awesome. thanks for sharing

Good and useful, thanks to you.

So I've prepared this "dummy" step-by-step job's migration from 5.x to 6.0:

1) implement your com.liferay.portal.scheduler.job.MessageSenderJob (was com.liferay.portal.kernel.job.IntervalJob)
2) implement your com.liferay.portal.kernel.scheduler.SchedulerEngine (was com.liferay.portal.kernel.job.Scheduler,
that was contain an org.quartz.Scheduler)
3) previously, you put your custom Schedulerxxx.java in liferay-portlet(-ext).xml under <scheduler-class> tag,
now to go live your job class, put a bean in scheduler-spring(-ext).xml (not recommended, see 3-a) )

ALSO take a look to theese points:

2-a) implement a class that uses IntervalTrigger or use the trigger that you prefer, and
instantiate for use in your SchedulerEnginexxx.schedule() call (the one used for IntervalJob was IntervalTrigger...
but CronTrigger it's a good thing too)

3-a) as you can see, in public class QuartzSchedulerEngineImpl implements SchedulerEngine:


It Get out jobs from somewhere properties, so you can put simply in portal-ext.properties
your custom scheduler (NOT recommended, for me):


(RECOMMENDED, 'cause this way adds your schedulers to default one..)
Add your custom Job(s) under (don't worry about wrong class path in comment,
the right one is like above: com.liferay.portal.kernel.scheduler.SchedulerEngine):

Hello there,

So i was trying to use the scheduler in liferay and i couldn't understand the steps described here. I went to the IRC channel and jhf helped me figure out how to schedule a job in liferay 6.

So here is what you need to do to make a job and schedule it.

First you need to implement your class:


Then you need to tell liferay to run this job. So you add the following to your liferay-portlet.xml:


From the dtd:


Note that you need an actual portlet to attach this "scheduler-entry" to. So you also need the portlet.xml:



And when you deploy your portlet it will run the job at the beginning and then periodically according to the time-unit specified.

Thats all =).

Thanks again to jhf for the help.

works like a charm, thanks very much
Than u, Miguel and thank to jhf too.

Opened a Jira ( http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-16714 ): it is (or was) not necessary to have a portlet (or separate war) to schedule a job, but in documentation of 6.0.x using of "scheduler.classes" property is still mentioned (but doesn't work for now).

Hi all,

I am facing problem with job.I made the portlet for job as suggested by you all and it runs fine on my windows machine but when I move to our server that are linux it does not run at all.

I see property in portal-ext which I dont have in my local

scheduler.enables =false


Does it matter?


PLease let me know

from portal.properties

Yes it should solve your problem.

If it does not, verify that your job is well registered in the database: in some cases jobs are not well registered at portlet deployment.

In that case, you have to clean the database and redeploy your portlet to solve the problem.

Thanks for your answers.I figured out that we ar eusing MS SQL and the scheduler is not getting initialised and hence it is not working .Do not know it works fine with MySQL

Thanks for sharing.

How do I configure this scheduled batch to get hold of SpringContext. I dont want to use FileSystemContext.
I want to load the same web spring resource from WEB-INF

hi

did you figure it out how to hold the context in the implemented Scheduler class
