In today’s post I will explain how to configure a DirectoryScanJob in Quartz.Net 2.0. Configuring the DirectoryScanJob can be done either programmatically or using the quartz_jobs.xml file. We will cover how to configure the job using the xml file in this post as it is not exactly straightforward to do so.
Continue ReadingIn this post we will be implementing the job listener that we discussed in the previous post. The previous post showed us how to add a scheduler listener to the scheduler using a plugin. Now we will describe what you need to do to implement a job listener in Quartz.
Continue ReadingToday we will implement a plugin for Quartz.Net 2.0. If you’re looking for a way to implement a plugin for version 1.0 of Quartz.Net, take a look at this post. Most of the steps are the same, but there are some API changes, so the plugin isn’t exactly the same, as you will see.
Continue ReadingThe xml format for the quartz_jobs.xml file has changed in Quartz.Net 2.0. This is a breaking change, so you won’t be able to use your existing jobs file with the new version of Quartz.Net without updating it to the 2.0 format. If you’re interested in the details of what can be configured in this file, I would recommend looking at the xsd file that defines the schema for the file.
Continue ReadingScheduling jobs programmatically in Quartz.Net 2.0 is very similar to scheduling a job in Quartz.Net 1.0. The overall process is the same, but the scheduler API has changed for version 2.0, so the code used will be significantly different. In this post we will only highlight the differences between the two versions, so if you’re not familiar with the process, then read this post first.
Continue ReadingThis post is one of those back to basics posts and is inspired by a comment left by Jan on one of the Getting Started posts. Today we’ll take a look at how to schedule a job programmatically in Quartz.Net 1.0. I’ll follow up with a post on how to schedule a job programmatically in Quartz.
Continue ReadingIn this post we will explain in great detail how the Quartz.Net scheduler loads its configuration upon startup. Since the scheduler configuration did not change between versions 1.0 and 2.0, the information here is applicable to both Quartz.Net versions. In Quartz.Net, the StdSchedulerFactory is responsible for configuring the scheduler. When the Quartz.
Continue ReadingWelcome to the the third post of my New in Quartz.Net 2.0 series. Goodbye IStatefulJobYes, it’s true. In Quartz.Net 2.0 the IStatefulJob has been marked as obsolete. To be sure, it’s still available to use, but if you are using IStatefulJobs you should think about migrating them to use the new Quartz.
Continue ReadingThis is the second post of the New in Quartz.Net 2.0 series. Today we will look at the DirectoryScanJob, which is a new job in Quartz.Net 2.0. The DirectoryScanJob is very similar to the FileScanJob, which is available in Quartz.Net 1.0. As you can probably tell from the names, the main difference between the two jobs is that the DirectoryScanJob scans for changes in… you quessed it… a directory , whereas the FileScanJob scans for changes in… yes, you guessed it again… a file.
Continue ReadingThis is the first post of what will become a series of posts highlighting the new features that will be available in Quartz.Net 2.0. To kick off the series, we will take a look at the CalendarIntervalTrigger. This trigger is used to fire jobs based on a recurring calendar time interval.
