  1. Cronjob: The job to be performed. For this Create an item type extending from CronJob.
  2. Job: Where the actual cronjob logic will be written. For this Create a class extending from AbstractJobPerformable<...abovegeneratedModel> and override the perform() method. Here perform method will contain actual job logic.
  3. Define the above Job class as a bean in xxxcore-spring.xml.
  4. Go to hmc-->System-->Right click on Cronjobs and Create your new cronjob.
  5. Trigger: Holds cron expression when to fire cronjob. Add the trigger conditions through TimeSchedule tab.
  6. Click StartCronJob Now to schedule the cronjob.

You can also use impex script to create trigger as thijsraets said.

INSERT_UPDATE Trigger;cronJob(code)[unique=true];cronExpression
;myCronJob;30 23 14 2 5 ? 2015

  • MANY THANKS MANOHAR. What are the options for creating Trigger, other than Impex – prashant kumar May 13 '15 at 16:28
  • hmc-->system-->right click on cronjobs-->select the cronjob you wish to create-->select TimeSchedule tab... there you will find the trigger section --> right click in that section-->create trigger. – Manohar Ch May 14 '15 at 13:02
  • Many Thanks Manohar, Is Cron Job Linked to Java Thread ? What happens in a shutdown .... if it does not have an active Trigger – prashant kumar May 16 '15 at 13:01
  • What is the use of a cronjob without scheduling it. Trigger contains the scheduling criteria(like at what time to execute). – Manohar Ch May 16 '15 at 13:11
  • I think, on demand basis we can execute them as and when its needed when there is no trigger. So you can have a cronjob without any trigger. Hope this helps. – Thayz Jun 14 '17 at 07:21

You probably want this cronJob to perform a custom action, for this you need to link up the cronJob with an actual action/task: the job itself. Create a bean that extends AbstractJobPerformable and implements the "perform" method. Now in the hMC you can create your Cron Job (System->CronJobs), under Job point to the bean you have created.

If you would like to do this from code you can use impex, for instance:

INSERT_UPDATE CronJob;code[unique=true];job(code);sessionLanguage(isocode);sessionCurrency(isocode)
;myCronJob;myJobBean;en;EUR

INSERT_UPDATE Trigger;cronJob(code)[unique=true];cronExpression
;myCronJob;30 23 14 2 5 ? 2015

Assign to a String and import this impex (or just execute in hac):

final CSVReader importReader = new CSVReader(impEx);
final Importer importer = new Importer(importReader);

importer.getReader().setDumpingAllowed(true);
try
{
    importer.importAll();
}
catch (final ImpExException e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}
importReader.closeQuietly();
importer.close();

(If you are using 5.5.1: the triggers do not work properly if you indicate multiple execution times. No problem if you only specify a single execution time , we hope SAP will solve this)
