Comparison"},"content":{"rendered":"

Before I tell you about the cron jobs in Magento 2.0<\/b>, let me remind you how it can be enabled in Magento 1.x.<\/p>\n

Magento 1.x<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, you need to create a module (I hope that if you are reading this article, you remember how it can be done :) ). After that you need to add the module to the config.xml<\/b> file.<\/p>\n

...\r\n< crontab > \r\n        < jobs > \r\n            < belvg_cron > \r\n                < schedule >< cron_expr > * * * * *<\/ cron_expr ><\/ schedule > \r\n                < run >< model > mymodule \/ cron:: myCronFunction<\/ model ><\/ run > \r\n            <\/ belvg_cron> \r\n        <\/ jobs > \r\n<\/ crontab >\r\n...<\/pre>\n
Next step is to create a file model:<\/p>\n
app\/code\/Belvg\/Mymodule\/Model\/Cron.php<\/b>.<\/p>\n
class Belvg_Mymodule_Model_Cron\r\n{\r\n    public function myCronFunction()\r\n    {\r\n        Mage::log(‘Hello form Belvg’);\r\n        return $this;\r\n    }\r\n}<\/pre>\n
This task is triggered every minute and writes messages in the log.<\/p>\n
Now I will tell you how to enable cron jobs in Magento 2.0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
How can you do it?
\nThis is also relatively easy and can be done in 2 steps:<\/p>\n
1. Create a file app\/code\/Belvg\/Mymodule\/etc\/crontab.xml <\/strong><\/p>\n
app\/code\/Belvg\/Mymodule\/etc\/<\/strong> with the following content:<\/p>\n
<config xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"urn:magento:module:Magento_Cron:etc\/crontab.xsd\">\r\n    <group id=\"default\">\r\n        <job name=\"belvg_mymodule_cron\" instance=\"Belvg\\Mymodule\\Model\\Cron\" method=\"myCronFunction\">\r\n            <schedule>* * * * *<\/schedule>\r\n        <\/job>\r\n    <\/group>\r\n<\/config><\/pre>\n
2. Create a class app\/code\/Belvg\/Mymodule\/Model\/Cron.php<\/strong><\/p>\n
namespace Belvg\\Mymodule\\Model\r\n\r\nclass Cron \r\n{\r\n    protected $logger;\r\n\r\n    public function __constructor(\r\n        \\Psr\\Log\\LoggerInterface $logger\r\n        )\r\n    {\r\n        $this->logger = $logger;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    public function myCronFunction()\r\n    {\r\n       $this->logger->info(‘Hello form Belvg’);\r\n       return $this;\r\n    }\r\n}<\/pre>\n
That’s it.<\/p>\n
We created a cronjob in Magento 2. Now in logs: var\/log\/system.log<\/strong>, you can see the following message:<\/p>\n
[2016-01-14 08:00:00] main.INFO: Hello from Belvg<\/em><\/p>\n
Hope it will help to adapt your extensions for Magento 2.0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Before I tell you about the cron jobs in Magento 2.0, let me remind you …","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":10753,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,389],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-magento","category-magento2-development","post_format-post-format-image"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
