Can not see cronjob in backoffice on hybris - cron

Question

I want to create custom CronJob. I followed this tutorial, but unfortunately, I am not able to see my job instance in Backoffice.
*-item.xml
<typegroup name="Jobs">
<itemtype
generate="true"
code="UsersFindCronJob"
extends="CronJob"
jaloclass="de.hybris.training.core.jalo.UsersFindCronJob"
autocreate="true">
<attributes>
<attribute qualifier="firstName" type="java.lang.String">
<modifiers/>
<persistence type="property"/>
</attribute>
</attributes>
</itemtype>
</typegroup>
*spring.xml
<bean id="usersFindJob" class="de.hybris.training.core.job.UsersFindJob"
parent="abstractJobPerformable"/>
UsersFindJob.java
package de.hybris.training.core.job;
import de.hybris.platform.cronjob.enums.CronJobResult;
import de.hybris.platform.cronjob.enums.CronJobStatus;
import de.hybris.platform.servicelayer.cronjob.AbstractJobPerformable;
import de.hybris.platform.servicelayer.cronjob.PerformResult;
import de.hybris.training.core.model.UsersFindCronJobModel;
public class UsersFindJob extends AbstractJobPerformable<UsersFindCronJobModel> {
#Override
public PerformResult perform(UsersFindCronJobModel cronJobModel) {
try {
// Retrieve firstName from the cronJob
String firstName = cronJobModel.getFirstName();
// Display Hello firstName
System.out.println("Hello " + firstName);
// In case of success return result: SUCCESS and status: FINISHED
return new PerformResult(CronJobResult.SUCCESS, CronJobStatus.FINISHED);
} catch(Exception e) {
// In case of exception return result: ERROR and status: ABORTED
return new PerformResult(CronJobResult.ERROR, CronJobStatus.ABORTED);
}
}
}

Impex
INSERT_UPDATE UsersFindCronJob ; code[unique=true] ; job(code) ; firstName ; usersFindCronJob ; usersFindJob ; Mouad
I also tried to import that Impex but it said it is not valid.

Answer 1

I think you only missed to update your system. Then you can create the instance of your job using below Impex or through Backoffice.
To update
ant clean all
hybrisserver.bat
Open HAC (https://localhost:9002/hac/)
Go to Platform > Update
Only select Update running system checkbox and essential data of your extension.
If you are in the situation where you can't run essential data(say Production) you need to explicitly run ServiceLayerJob after the update.
Click on update button
Run Impex
INSERT_UPDATE UsersFindCronJob ; code[unique=true] ; job(code) ; firstName ;
; usersFindCronJob ; usersFindJob ; Mouad ;
The situation where you haven't run essential data you need to run below Impex(as mentioned by #Johannes)
INSERT_UPDATE ServicelayerJob;code[unique=true];springId;
;usersFindJob;usersFindJob
Refer https://wiki.hybris.com/display/R5T/Trail+~+CronJobs

Answer 2

First, you need to seperate your impex header from your data by a new line:
INSERT_UPDATE UsersFindCronJob;code[unique=true];job(code);firstName
;usersFindCronJob;usersFindJob;Mouad
Then you also missed the part where you create the Job itself:
INSERT_UPDATE ServicelayerJob;code[unique=true];springId;
;usersFindJob;usersFindJob

Answer 3

When you create your custom cronjob,then you need to update the "Custom Cronjob" you created.
****What mistake we do is updating these below statements when we write custom cronjob:****
INSERT_UPDATE ServicelayerJob;code[unique=true];springId;
INSERT_UPDATE Cronjob;code[unique=true];job(code);singleExecutable;sessionLanguage(isocode)
****Actually we need to write these below statements:****
INSERT_UPDATE ServicelayerJob;code[unique=true];springId;
INSERT_UPDATE ;code[unique=true];job(code);singleExecutable;sessionLanguage(isocode)
Please note that,if the attributes you added in custom cronjob are mandatory then you need to update those attributes as well,like:
INSERT_UPDATE ;code[unique=true];job(code);singleExecutable;sessionLanguage(isocode);
