- 5. INTO THE BOX 2024 THE PROS AND CONS - ADOBE COLDFUSION REVOLUTIONIZING TASK SCHEDULING IN COLDBOX PROS âą cronTime Configured using custom Cron-Expressions http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.2.2/tutorials/ tutorial-lesson-06.html âą group Pause or Resume all tasks in a group âą action create and modify options added in 2018. Create a fresh task which throws and error if it already exists and modify allows to update an existing task while retaining its old values âą mode - Enterprise Allows to define Application level tasks âą eventHandler - Enterprise Simple Event Handlers - onException, onComplete, onMisfire CONS âą The cool features come at a hefty cost $$$ âą Although you can track in code âą tasks can be created / edited * server tasks âą tasks can be removed * server and application level
- 6. INTO THE BOX 2024 THE PROS AND CONS - LUCEE REVOLUTIONIZING TASK SCHEDULING IN COLDBOX PROS âą unique Execute task once at a time no overlapping Funny behavior ... Does not add the full interval only the remaining âą readonly ? No edit or delete allowed in admin Nice way to force in code only workflow âą autodelete Helps with the bad habit of people not being pro active about code debt clean up and yes tasks that are no longer needed create code debt to manage CONS âą None of the features from ACF âą Application level tasks âą Event Handlers âą Tasks under 10 second intervals do not fire âą Access to the web admin can be a bit of a pain due to individual context
- 7. INTO THE BOX 2024 BIGGEST PAIN POINT ... REVOLUTIONIZING TASK SCHEDULING IN COLDBOX âą If managed in code Switching an engine will require some refactoring based on features and attributes âą If not managed in code Good luck, I went thru this for a project with over 150 scheduled tasks split over several servers with absolutely no pattern.
- 8. INTO THE BOX 2024 WHY COLDBOX SCHEDULED TASKS? REVOLUTIONIZING TASK SCHEDULING IN COLDBOX âą Code First!!!! Based on your workflow, this can make it easier to manage, track and understand why a task exists âą A fresh, programmatic and human approach to scheduling tasks Chainable DSL with a human readable touch âą Complete control over lifecycle Globally and at the individual task level - better event handlers! âą No issue if switching engines âą Cool features at no cost!!!! âą Limitless opportunities!
- 9. INTO THE BOX 2024 SCHEDULED TASK INTRO REVOLUTIONIZING TASK SCHEDULING IN COLDBOX âą Frequencies Easy to understand frequencies to scheduled our tasks with. âą every ( period, timeunit ) / everyMinute() / onFirstBusinessDayOfTheMonth( time ) / onWeekends() . . . âą Prevent Stacking Allows to force a task to have a fixed delay starting when the task finishes executing. âą Delay First Execution Great for delaying the first execution of a scheduled task. âą Create One Off Tasks Great for warming up caches, registering yourself with control planes, setting up initial data collections and so much more. âą Life-Cycle Methods The scheduler itself has global life-cycle methods but tasks can also have these methods. âą after / before / onFailure / onSuccess âą Constraints âą Truth Test - Register a when() closure that will be executed at runtime and boolean evaluated. âą Start Date / End Date - Specify when the task will become active on a specific date and time and/or when the task will become disabled. âą Start Time / End Time - Restrict the execution of the task after and/or before a certain time âą Environment - For ColdBox apps you can specify what environment to run on
