Open Source Enterprise Job Scheduler with Ofbiz in Production

Hi All, Wanted to reach out to see if you have any recommendation for Open
Source Enterprise Job Scheduler, that works well for you with Ofbiz (or any
other java based or other) in Production; Appreciate your insights

regards
Sakthivel Vellingiri

Re: Open Source Enterprise Job Scheduler with Ofbiz in Production

Hi Sakthivel,

OFBiz already comes with a job scheduler, see
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/scheduleJob

Re: Open Source Enterprise Job Scheduler with Ofbiz in Production

Thanks Michael for the response, i understood OFBIZ comes with its own
scheduler that could schedule individual services in OFBIZ, however i'm
looking for an enterprise scheduler that could be used for controlling
things like restarting ofbiz in a particular schedule, running database
backup outside of ofbiz etc. Any insights would be greatly appreciated

regards

Re: Open Source Enterprise Job Scheduler with Ofbiz in Production

Hi,

It seems to me that you are looking for tooling on how to do operations.
I think those are environment specific.

For example I deploy my apps using Docker and Kubernetes so most of that
tooling is specific to these environments.

if you refine your question and are more specific you might get a better
answer.

Regards,

Eugen

Re: Open Source Enterprise Job Scheduler with Ofbiz in Production

Hi Sakthivel,

If you're looking for a JobScheduler that can work with implementations
(services) that are running on its own and other (virtual) instances, and
are looking for an Open Source solution, you may consider taking a look at
Apache Airflow (https://airflow.apache.org).

The community over there is doing a good job and appear (AFAICT) a
production grade solution.

In reply to this post by Sakthivel Vellingiri

Hello,

The quetion is probably too broad for any recommendation. It really depends. It also depends on the task being scheduled and how much complexity do you need in the scheduling. If it is just a frequency thing, then maybe cron is a perfectly suitable solution. If on the other hand you have complex scheduling then other solutions might fit. IT also depends on your environment. Are you on docker / container manager (e.g. swarm, kubernets) then there are automation tools over there.

The bottom line, the question is hard to answer. It Depends! You need to be specific with your problem and specific with your environment for people to help you with recommendations

@Taher - Sorry for not providing additional details, i think you have fair
questions, i deploy ofbiz in windows and linux environments, i'm looking

supports dependencies between tasks, the tasks include but not limited to

Re: Open Source Enterprise Job Scheduler with Ofbiz in Production

Hi Sakthivel,
I suggest you try Apache Camel, through Cron or Quartz components you can
perfectly manage any scheduling. Furthermore Camel being EIP compliant, you
can manage any type of integration using any component (webservice, email,
ftp ...).

Re: Open Source Enterprise Job Scheduler with Ofbiz in Production

In reply to this post by Sakthivel Vellingiri

It seems from your input the work you want to schedule is simple and limited to OFBiz resources. If my understanding is correct, then a separate job scheduling system might be an overkill for simple housekeeping tasks. So to me the simplest solution is to:

1- create services in OFBiz for tasks that do not require shutting down OFBiz and schedule them using OFBiz scheduler. If you need access to the OS you can use processes [1]
2- create cron / windows jobs for the rest. The logic for these tasks can be placed in gradle (already ships with OFBiz) and you can define dependencies between these tasks from gradle [2]

The above solution would keep you inside the eco-system of OFBiz and is easier to implement. I would only recommend moving to a full fledged job scheduling system if the complexity is very high, you have many nodes, and there is a lot of work todo.

Re: Open Source Enterprise Job Scheduler with Ofbiz in Production

Thanks Nicola and Taher for the responses

@Taher - I like the simplicity of the solution and using gradle for
dependencies which seems to be missing in the native cron or windows jobs,
but one caveat is to maintain two different solutions for Windows and
Linux, but since the features are native to the OS, we may still be able to
live with this, thanks for including the details

@Nicola - Understood Camel is a great integration option, but for the
usecase in hand i'm not able to comprehend how it fits.
