Implementing scheduler job to check document due date

[rajiraji]

Hi,

I need to implement a scheduler which checks for the due date in the documents in Alfresco and send email when the due date is met. I have due date as a property set for the document. I don't know how to retrieve the properties of the document using java script. Can someone help me on this.

Hi Raji,

Please follow the below documentation link:

Scheduled Jobs | Alfresco Documentation 

The scheduled job needs to be applied to a set of nodes determined by a query and the job implementation to be in the form of Repository action.

Precisely the Steps:

a) Start off with a repository action class 
b)  Get the noderef which will contain a node that is part of a result from a query set up in a Spring bean .
c) Define the spring bean referring to the action class created in step (a)

d) Then you will need to write a cron job along with cron expression for when to run the scheduled job.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Hi Raji,

Might be the javascript api is not available for this case. It has limited number of apis and is a wrapper over the java api.

Check the below 

JavaScript API | Alfresco Documentation 

Check if there is api for getting the properties of a node.

But the Public Java api is available for the same. You can configure the bean in your context file and refer this NodeService.

NodeService | Alfresco Documentation 

On this page search for - 

• Getting aspects, children, properties, associations

Please let me know if this helps.

You can write webscript for getting the document  details .
