Creating custom timer jobs in SharePoint:

Creating custom timer jobs in SharePoint:

In sharepoint 2007 we can create custom timer jobs.

1. Create a new Class Library project in VS 2005.
2. Add reference of SharePoint.
3. Crate a new class, implement SPJobDefinition, with a blank constructor.
4. Overide Execute method and write the code to execute in this mehod.
5. Sign the assembly with strong name and deploy in GAC.
6. So the class structure will be like this.

---------------------------------------------------

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration; namespace NDACommon { public class MyTimerJob : SPJobDefinition { public MyTimerJob () { } public MyTimerJob (string MyJobName, SPWebApplication MyWebApplication) : base(MyJobName, MyWebApplication, null, SPJobLockType.Job) { } public override void Execute(Guid targetInstanceId) { try { System.IO.File.AppendAllText(@"C:\temp\Timer.txt", "SP TimerJob : " + DateTime.Now.ToString() + "\r\n"); } catch (Exception ex) { System.IO.File.AppendAllText(@"C:\temp\Timer.txt", "SP TimerJob : " + DateTime.Now.ToString() + "\r\n"); } } } }

Adding Timer Job into SharePoint

---------------------------------------------------

static void CreateJob() { SPServer myServer = SPServer.Local; SPSite mySite = new SPSite("http://server/sites/musite"); SPWebApplication myApplication = mySite.WebApplication; SPJobDefinitionCollection myJobsColl = myApplication.JobDefinitions; NDATimerJob myJob = new NDATimerJob("myCountDocsJob", myApplication); myJob.Title = "My Test Job"; SPMinuteSchedule myMinuteSchedule = new SPMinuteSchedule(); myMinuteSchedule.BeginSecond = 0; myMinuteSchedule.EndSecond = 59; myMinuteSchedule.Interval = 1; myJob.Schedule = myMinuteSchedule; myJobsColl.Add(myJob); myApplication.Update(); MessageBox.Show("Job Installed"); }

---------------------------------------------------

Removing Timer Job from SharePoint

---------------------------------------------------

public static void DeleteJob() { SPSite mySite = new SPSite("http://server/sites/musite "); foreach (SPJobDefinition oneJob in mySite.WebApplication.JobDefinitions) { if (oneJob.Title == " My Test Job") { oneJob.Delete(); MessageBox.Show("Job Deleted"); } } }
