How to Trigger " Schedule Jobs" by ATF( testing-Automated Testing Framework)

[chanikya]

Hi,

Can any one please guide me how to call Schedule jobs by using ATF

Hi chanikya,

I believe you need to add a step to run a Server Side Script.

Then, you can script your Scheduled Job call from there. You will need basically to create a new record to sys_trigger table.

You can have a look in a Out of the box Business Rule called Create Scheduled Job if you have the Assessment plugin enabled.

Hello!

I was able to successfully implement using the following:

1. Step to Impersonate System Admin
2. Step to open an existing form (Select the table sysauto_script; Select the Scheduled Job to be executed)
3. Step to Click a UI Action (Select "Execute Now)

I hope this helps!

Hello,



I agree with mbh.

The way he described is the OOB one via which an ATF test can be configured to trigger a Schedule Job on the targeted platform (instance).

There is no need for scripting or additional customization!
This will only cause you a lot of needless problem & waste of time.

Simply use the respective OOB ATF tests: 'Record Query' (query the Scheduled Jobs table: Scheduled Script Executions (pointed out by mbh) to find the exact Scheduled Job record you are interested in); 'Open an Existing Record' (to specify the record found by the 'Record Query' step to be opened) and then 'Click a UI Action' (to click on the 'Execute Now' button, available in the opened record form).
