Cron Jobs

If you install the Comergent eBusiness System with the reference data, then the installation includes the pre-defined cron jobs described in this section.

If you installed the Comergent eBusiness System with minimal data, then only the Cache Cleanup job is included. If you want to implement the other jobs, then you must create them by following the steps in To Create a Job. The following sections contain the information needed to create these jobs.

Update Catalog

UpdateCatalog calculates product categories are empty, that is, whether the products within a category are displayable. See Suppressing Display of Empty Product Categories for more explanation.

Note:

You must set the Suppress Empty Categories business rule to "suppress empty categories" to run this cron job.

The command line argument for this predefined job is DaysOffset= and it has a default setting of 0. This setting means that the calculation will be made ahead of the current date according to the setting of DaysOffset. For example, if the current date is 4/10/2002, and if the DaysOffset is set to 5, then the calculations will be made based on the status of the categories on 4/15/2002.

The frequency should be set to once a day in minimal data.

TABLE 69. Update Catalog Cron Job

Cron Job Field	Entry
Program	com.comergent.apps.productMgr.suppressPC.UpdateCategoryCron
Command Line Arguments	DayOffset=0
Cron Job Type	Application
