Syntax
=======
global class MyBatchClass implements Database.Batchable<sObject> {
global (Database.QueryLocator | Iterable<sObject>)
start(Database.BatchableContextbc) {
// collect the batches of records or objects to be passed to execute
}
global void execute(Database.BatchableContextbc, List<P> records){
// process each batch of records
}
global void finish(Database.BatchableContextbc){
// execute any post-processing operations
}
}
Create a batch class to update Contacts:
Description of Contact should be updated with
“Title of AccountName : Account’s Description“
Contact which does not have any Account associated with it, should not be updated.
Batch Class
===========
// Batch Class which implements Database.Batchable
global class UpdateContactDescription Implements Database.Batchable<sObject> {
// Getting all the contacts having some accountId populated using Query in
start() method
global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc) {
String query = 'Select Id, Account.Name, Title, Description,
Account.Description From Contact Where AccountId != null';
return Database.getQueryLocator(query);
}
// Go through the each Contact and update the Contact's description
global void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<Contact> scope) {
if(scope != null) {
for(Contact con : scope) {
con.Description = con.Title + ' of ' + con.Account.Name + ': ' +
con.Account.Description;
}
update scope;
}
}
// There is nothing as such required in finish method is it is empty but any
post process step can be added here
global void finish (Database.BatchableContext bc) {
Test Class
==========
Create Accounts (with some description) and Contacts associated with the Account
(without blank description).
Execute the batch Apex and verify that the Contacts Description should get updated
with some value.
