How to maintain a job history using Quartz scheduler

Question

I\'d like to maintain a history of jobs that were scheduled by a Quartz scheduler containing the following properties: \'start time\', \'end time\', \'success\', \'error\'.

Answer 1

The way to do this is to generate an identifier in JobToBeExecuted, store it in the JobExecutionContext and retrieve it again from the JobExecutionContext in JobWasExecuted.

public void JobToBeExecuted(JobExecutionContext context)
{
    // Insert history record and retrieve primary key of inserted record.
    long historyId = InsertHistoryRecord(...);
    context.Put("HistoryIdKey", historyId);
}

public void JobWasExecuted(JobExecutionContext context,
                           JobExecutionException jobException)
{
    // Retrieve history id from context and update history record.
    long historyId = (long) context.Get("HistoryIdKey");
    UpdateHistoryRecord(historyId, ...);
}
