Recently, I was building a Salesforce Labs App that required me to enable a user to schedule an Apex job from the UI. I quickly realized I didn't know enough about the process and found a lack of information about the topic. I've written a basic overview of how to manage scheduled jobs from the UI and give your apps a bit more setup capability.
The app demonstrates:
- Array Destructuring
- Template Literals
- Scheduling Apex Jobs
- Aborting Scheduled Jobs
- Checking Schedule Job Status
-
If you haven't already done so, authorize your hub org and provide it with an alias (myhuborg in the command below):
sfdx force:auth:web:login -d -a myhuborg -
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/schandlergarcia/lwc-scheduler-service cd lwc-scheduler-service -
Create a scratch org and provide it with an alias (lwc-scheduler in the command below):
sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a lwc-scheduler -
Push the app to your scratch org:
sfdx force:source:push -
Open the scratch org:
sfdx force:org:open -
