invokeBatchSerially Method
Performs multiple batch operations (one after another) on a set of records.
It executes a number of Integration Procedures-based batch jobs in succession. It also supports the pre and post-processing steps on every batch.
For example, you could use it for various group-level (Quote/Order Group) actions to perform different sequential batch jobs on a set of quotes and orders.
-
Validate and Price:
-
Validation
-
Pricing (gets fired once the validation batch-job is finished)
-
-
Create and Submit Order:
-
Create Order (Quote checkout with price
) -
Price Sub-Orders
-
Submit Order (checkout the orders created in the initial batch)
-
For other uses, see invokeBatchSerially Method.
batchInput expects the list of objects as input. Every individual object represents a single batch job to execute.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| batchOperationTypeindicates | Required | The name of the batch process. |
| batchSize | Required | Batch-size configuration for the batch job to run. |
| className | Required | The corresponding Apex class to invoke for the batch job. This class should extend MSInvokeVIPInBatch and can override start, execute, and finish methods if required. |
| classParams | Required | The Integration Procedures to execute at different stages of the batch job. |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| isJobStarted | True — The batch job has started successfully. |
This remote action can also support the scenario where the next batch is expected to process a different set of records than the previous one.
For example, in the Create and Submit Order batch, the finish stage of Create-Order and the whole Price and Submit-Order batches should process the new orders created by the previous batch. This is possible by splitting the finish of the Create-Order process into three steps:
-
Run
beforeCtxSwitchFinishVIP. -
Perform context switch.
-
Run
afterCtxSwitchFinishVIP.
The corresponding batch-object of the input is shown in the following example.
