<h1>Module HowTo - Jobs<br>
</h1>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br>
Jobs can be used to run actions in regular intervals like daily.<br>
They are configured on tab "Jobs" in LAM server profile.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">See ppolicyUser module for an example.<br>
<br>
<h2>Adding the job class</h2>
The module defines the list of supported jobs with function
getSupportedJobs().<br>
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" class="mod-code" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /**<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Returns a list of jobs that can be run.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * @param LAMConfig $config configuration<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * @return array list of jobs<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; */<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; public function getSupportedJobs(&amp;$config) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;return array(<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;new
PPolicyPasswordNotifyJob()<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}<br>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>The job class itself can be in the module file or in any file
included
by the module file. Please add the class definition in an interface
check as the example below. The job interface is not loaded on all
pages.<br>
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" class="mod-code" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">if (interface_exists('\LAM\JOB\Job')) {<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /**<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;* Job to notify users about password expiration.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;*<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;* @package jobs<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;*/<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; class PPolicyPasswordNotifyJob implements \LAM\JOB\Job {<br>
[...]<br>
<br>
}<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<h2>Basic job attributes</h2>
Each job needs to provide a unique name, icon, alias and job
description. You need also to specify if multiple configurations of the
same job are allowed on a server profile.<br>
<br>
If your job requires any configuration options then use get/checkConfigOptions() functions.<br>
<br>
<h2>Database</h2>
Jobs can access a database to read and store data about job runs. Use
this e.g. if you need to save any status information across job runs.<br>
Database access is specified with needsDatabaseAccess().<br>
<br>
There is a built-in database upgrade mechanism. Your job must return
its current schema version with getDatabaseSchemaVersion() and LAM will
call updateSchemaVersion() whenever it detects a higher version in job
class than on database.<br>
<br>
<h2>Execution</h2>
When jobs are run the the execute() function is called. Please put all your logic in there.<br>
