Scheduling JavaScripts

[davix]

Hi,

I was looking at Scheduling Actions in Alfresco here.
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Scheduled_Actions

It's mentioned that a scheduled action is made up of three parts, (1)a cron expression (2) a query template and (3) action template.
Is it mandatory to specify all three? Can I just mention (1)cron expression and (2)action template?

And I was going through the example here
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Scheduled_Actions#Script_Action_Example
there are lots of properties that are being set. Again, are all of them mandatory?

Please let me know, thanks!

Here is a complete example of what you need

   <!– Run a job daily at 8.30 to send out an email about expiring agreements –>
    <bean id="scheduledExpringAgreements" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailBean">
        <property name="jobClass">
            <value>org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ExecuteScriptJob</value>
        </property>
        <property name="jobDataAsMap">
            <map>
                <entry key="scriptLocation">
                    <bean class="org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ClasspathScriptLocation">
                     <constructor-arg>
                        <value>alfresco/module/demo/context/scripts/scheduledExpiringAgreements.js</value>
                     </constructor-arg>
                  </bean>
                </entry>
                <entry key="scriptService">
                    <ref bean="ScriptService"/>
                </entry>
                <entry key="authenticationComponent">
                   <ref bean="authenticationComponent"/>
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="scheduledExpiringAgreementsTrigger" class="org.alfresco.util.CronTriggerBean">
        <property name="jobDetail">
            <ref bean="scheduledExpringAgreements" />
        </property>
        <property name="scheduler">
            <ref bean="schedulerFactory" />
        </property>
        <property name="cronExpression">
            <value>0 30 8 * * ?</value>
        </property>
    </bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks! Works like a charm.

Hi,

I'm trying to do the same, schedule a script and send a mail to users. Is there a way to inject the root scoped objects in the script ? Like companyhome, userhome… ?

Thanks

[davix]

Yes, it's possible. Take a look at this –> http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.4_JavaScript_API#Root_Scope_Objects

you could write something like this–

var name = userhome.properties.name‍

to get the userhome

Loftux, where I put this code?
Scheduled-Action-Services-Context.xml in shared/classes/alfresco/extensions ?

Thanks!
