Hi support,
i have some doubts while executed my code. I need clear idea. https://wiki.processmaker.com/3.1/Execu ... g_cron.php

Code: Select all

C:\Bitnami\processmaker-3.2-0\php>php.exe -f C:\Bitnami\processmaker-3.2-0\apps\processmaker\htdocs\workflow\engine\bin\cron.php

You executed cron.php correctly. What is your question?

[jemiris]

Yes, I executed the cron.php correctly.
My Question:
1. This cron.php will execute our custom cronjob page?
2. If I want to execute custom cron jobs, how I need to proceed?
3. Let's say I have the page of custom cron job in ->Plugins->customcron.php like this. In those case how can I execute? will the processmaker takes the page automatically. Or should i need to do something?
4. I have a page in this structure C:\Bitnami\processmaker-3.2-0\apps\processmaker\htdocs\workflow\engine\plugins\sample\mydata\utils\customconfig.php. But I'm not able to get the current workspace name. I have tried SYS_SYS. But I got an error called unassumed SYS_SYS.
5. Then after some time, I tried to use Creating a cron Using ProcessMaker Classes (https://wiki.processmaker.com/3.0/Plugi ... er_classes)

But I got the following Error!

Code: Select all

 
Executing cron files in bin/plugins directory in Workspace: workflowPHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'ÔÇé' (T_STRING) in C:\Bitnami\processmaker-3.2-0\apps\processmaker\htdocs\workflow\engine\bin\plugins\Plugin_File_Name.php on line 15

6. Am I missing anything here? Could you help me to do further?

[amosbatto]

Can you post your file C:\Bitnami\processmaker-3.2-0\apps\processmaker\htdocs\workflow\engine\bin\plugins\Plugin_File_Name.php ?

The code in your Plugin_File_Name.php file needs to use UTF-8 encoding.

[jemiris]

Here I didn't make any changes in the Plugin_File_Name.php file. To test i just copied from wiki process maker and tested it(https://wiki.processmaker.com/3.0/Plugi ... er_classes). I got the error in the set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . PATH_DATA_SITE); line when debug and seen

Code: Select all

<?php
class SampleClassCron   
{
   /**
   * Default Constructor for the class
   */
  function __construct (  ) {
 
  }
 
  function executeCron(){    
    if (!defined('PATH_WORKSPACE')) {
       define('PATH_WORKSPACE', PATH_DATA_SITE);
       set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . PATH_DATA_SITE);
     }
    if(SYS_SYS == "workflow") {   //execute the cron depending on the workspaces defined
      $pluginFile = "";
      if (!class_exists('classPlugin_File_Name')) { 
        $pluginFile = PATH_PLUGINS.'myproject'.PATH_SEP.'services'.PATH_SEP.'class.Plugin_File_Name.php';
      }
      if(file_exists($pluginFile)){
        G::LoadClass('plugin');
        require_once($pluginFile);
        // the automated task is check and recreate the dimension tables
        $plugin = new myClass(); //define the class with the name of the file where the actions will be executed by the cron
        $plugin->followUpActions();
      }
    }    
 
  }
}

It still isn't working? Did you follow all the steps to create the plugin listed in Plugin Development?

In my opinion, you don't need to create a plugin. You can create an endlessly looping process to execute a script task which has the code that you want to execute:

endlessLoopingProcess.png (13.24 KiB) Viewed 5994 times

Add a trigger to the script task to be executed.

Set your intermediate timer event to the amount of time when you want the trigger to be executed.

Start a case in the looping process, and let the case run forever.

Set up your ProcessMaker server to periodically execute the timereventcron.php file so that that the script task will periodically execute.

The other way to do this is to create a PHP script file that calls the executeTrigger() web service or REST cases/{app_uid}/execute-trigger and execute that PHP script file as a cron job.

Yes. I'm getting an error?

Yes, great idea . Thanks for the Idea. As you say I have done the same below image

following this wiki processmaker https://wiki.processmaker.com/3.0/Event ... TimerEvent. Here I have a question?
My Question:
1. is it necessary to execute the timereventcron.php script?
2. If It's necessary to execute the timereventcron.php script. Then This timereventcron.php file has to be created as cron job right ?
3. Yeah i have created the SCHTASKS in Windows as followed in wiki (https://wiki.processmaker.com/3.2/Execu ... in_Windows).
4. I created like below

Code: Select all

SCHTASKS /Create /SC MINUTE /MO 5 /TN "ProcessMaker Timer Event every 5 minutes" /TR "C:\Bitnami\processmaker-3.2-0\php\php.exe -f C:\Bitnami\processmaker-3.2-0\apps\processmaker\workflow\engine\bin\timereventcron.php"

. And it executed correctly every 5mintues correctly but my script tasks did not run. * I had the script to send mail for every 5mins as below.

Code: Select all

$aFields = array('reqUserName' => @=reqUserName, 'reqSup' => @=reqSup,
   'fromReq' => @=fromReq, 'toReq' => @=toReq, 'daysReq' => @=daysReq);
$usr = userInfo(@@USER_LOGGED);
$to = 'jemiris@gmail.com';
PMFSendMessage(@@APPLICATION, 'manager@acme.com', $to, '', '',
   'Leave Request Notification', 'LeaveRequestTemplate.html', $aFields);

** Note : When I execute manually it works via command line. but as cron job it not working. I'm I missing here?

1. is it necessary to execute the timereventcron.php script?

Yes, it is necessary if you are going to use an intermediate timer event in your processes. Otherwise, the case will never move past the intermediate timer event.

2. If It's necessary to execute the timereventcron.php script. Then This timereventcron.php file has to be created as cron job right

Yes, you need a cron job in Linux or a Scheduled Task in Windows that will periodically execute the timereventcron.php file on your ProcessMaker server. [/quote]

3. Yeah i have created the SCHTASKS in Windows as followed in wiki (https://wiki.processmaker.com/3.2/Execu ... in_Windows).
4. I created like below

I tried to make this work in Windows with a Bitnami install last year and I never got it to work. I don't know if the problem was Windows or Bitnami or the virtual machine or I wasn't configuring it right. Give me a couple days to experiment to see if I can figure it out.

Yeah sure. From my side, I too will investigate to be work. Waiting to hear the good result?

[jemiris]

Still, I have not got executed the cron.php file via windows. Have you got any idea?
* But I have with SCHTASK via command line and using User Interface in Windows 10.
* But I did not get any error in cron.log. But it did not work. Still, I'm finding difficulty in it.
Can you have any clues to execute my cron job in windows using a task scheduler?

[jemiris]

When that issue is working please remind us?
