Implements

Schedulable

Fields

TEST_CRON_STATEMENT

TESTVISIBLE

Signature

private final static TEST_CRON_STATEMENT

Type

String

Methods

execute(context)

This is the one method required by the Schedulable interface. Key requirements are that it be public, and void. Best practice is to keep your logic in a different class. In this case, we're calling code in the ScheduledApexDemo class.

Note: You can use the schedulable interface to schedule Batch Classes but it's generally easier to use System.ScheduleBatch instead. See BatchApexRecipes for more information.

Signature

public void execute(SchedulableContext context)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
context	SchedulableContext	Dependency Injected by the System

Return Type

void

Example

System.schedule('Friendly Message to identify this job',
                 ScheduledApexRecipes.TEST_CRON_STATEMENT,
                 new ScheduledApexRecipes());
