Asynchronous Apex Questions

1. Can we call future from future ?

Ans- No, not possible (Channing is possible in queueable)

public class futureMethodExample {

@future
public static void MyFutureMethod(){
Map<Id,Account> mapacct = new Map<Id,Account>([SELECT ID,Name FROM ACCOUNT]);
system.debug('test method'+mapacct);
// MyFutureMethod1(); // You can try to call one future method in another future method
}

@future(callout=true)
public static void MyFutureMethod1(){
Http http = new Http();
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals/');
request.setMethod('GET');
// System.debug('>>>>>>>'+id);
HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
Object animals;
String returnValue;

// If the request is successful, parse the JSON response

if (response.getStatusCode() == 200) {
// Deserialize the JSON string into collections of primitive data types.
Map<String, Object> result = (Map<String, Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody());
System.debug('>>>>>'+response.getBody());
animals = result.get('animal');
System.debug(animals);
}

BatchClassPractice bcn = new BatchClassPractice() ; // You can try to call batch class from future method
ID batchprocessid = Database.executeBatch(bcn);
}
}
 2. Can we call batch from schedule apex ?

Ans - Yes, We can call batch from schedule apex.

public class ScheduledBatchClassPractice implements schedulable{

public void execute(SchedulableContext sc){

try{
BatchClassPractice btch = new BatchClassPractice(); // You can call batch class from schedule apex
database.executeBatch(btch,400);

// Call the future method in schedulable apex

futureMethodExample.MyFutureMethod1();
}catch(exception e){
System.debug('Exception in ScheduledBatchClassPractice: ' + e.getMessage());
}

3. Can we call batch from batch ?

Ans - Yes, we can call from finish method but you cannot call in start or excute method.

public with sharing class BatchExample2 implements Database.Batchable<sObject>{

public Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext context) {
return Database.getQueryLocator('SELECT ID, Mark_For_Delete_c FROM Studentc WHERE
Mark_For_Delete_c= \'Yes\'');
}
public void execute(Database.BatchableContext context, List<SObject> records)
{
delete records;
}
public void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc) {
BatchClassPractice btch = new BatchClassPractice();
database.executeBatch(btch,200);
}
}

// You can call batch class from batch in finish Method

 4. Can we call future from batch ?

Ans- No, we cannot call otherwise Fatal error(System.AsyncException) error will occur.
System.AsyncException: Future method cannot be called from a future or batch method:
futureMethodExample.MyFutureMethod()

/* Write a batch a class to update the Teacher's records whose specialization is math */

public class BatchClassPractice implements Database.Batchable<Sobject>, Database.stateful{

public integer count = 0;

public Database.Querylocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC){

String teacherList = 'SELECT Id, Name,Specialization__c FROM Teacher__c WHERE Specialization__c
=\'Math\' OR Specialization__c =\'Physics\'';

return Database.getQueryLocator(teacherList);
}
public void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<Teacher__c> tchList){
futureMethodExample.MyFutureMethod();

if(!tchList.isEmpty()){
for(Teacher__c tch: tchList){
if(tch.Specialization__c == 'Math'){
tch.Name = 'Sir/Madam'+' '+ tch.Name;
}if(tch.Specialization__c == 'Physics'){
tch.Name = 'Respected Madam'+' '+ tch.Name;
}
count++;
}
try{
update tchList;
system.debug('Count of Teacher'+count);
}
catch(exception e){
System.debug(e);
}

}
}

public void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){

futureMethodExample.MyFutureMethod();
}
}
 5. Can we call batch from future ?

Ans- No, We cannot call otherwise Fatal Error(System.AsyncException) error will occur.

FATAL_ERROR System.AsyncException: Database.executeBatch cannot be called from a batch start,

batch execute, or future method.

public class futureMethodExample {

@future
public static void MyFutureMethod(){
Map<Id,Account> mapacct = new Map<Id,Account>([SELECT ID,Name FROM ACCOUNT]);
system.debug('test method'+mapacct);
// MyFutureMethod1(); // You can try to call one future method in another future method
}

@future(callout=true)
public static void MyFutureMethod1(){
Http http = new Http();
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals/');
request.setMethod('GET');
// System.debug('>>>>>>>'+id);
HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
Object animals;
String returnValue;

// If the request is successful, parse the JSON response

if (response.getStatusCode() == 200) {
// Deserialize the JSON string into collections of primitive data types.
Map<String, Object> result = (Map<String, Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody());
System.debug('>>>>>'+response.getBody());
animals = result.get('animal');
System.debug(animals);
}

BatchClassPractice bcn = new BatchClassPractice() ;

ID batchprocessid = Database.executeBatch(bcn);
}
}
 6. Can we call future and batch from Queueable ?

Ans: Yes we can call future and batch from Queueable and vice-versa.

public class QueuableApexExample implements Queueable {

public static void execute(QueueableContext QC){

Account act = new Account(Name = 'Tested Accctt 97', Phone='0523124578',

isAddress__c=true);
insert act;

futureMethodExample.MyFutureMethod1();

}
}

7. Which interfaces are important in batch ?

Ans: Database.Batchable - It is mandatory in Batch Class

Database.AllowsCallout - It is mandatory while calling callout
Database.Stateful - This Interfaces is used to maintain the state of variable.Let’s
suppose you are inserting account and you want to count the all account that
are inserted then you can use this interfaces.

8. What are the methods in batch class?

Ans- Start Method >> Return Type ==> Database.Querylocator or Iterable

Execute Method >> Return Type ==> Void

Finish Method >> Return Type ==> Void

9.Some Interfaces in Asynchronous Apex ?

Ans- 1. Queueable,
2. Schedulable,
3. Database.Batchable
 10. Can we call future method from Trigger ?

Ans- Yes, We can call future method from trigger.

public class FutureMethodExample2 {

// DML Operation performs on Setup and Non Setup Method in a single transaction
public static void insertSetWithNonSetup(){
Account act = new Account();
act.Name = 'Non Setup Record';
insert act;

//
InsertUserSetup();
System.debug(act);
}
@future
public static void insertUserSetup(){

Profile p = [SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name='Cross Org Data Proxy User'];
UserRole r = [SELECT Id FROM UserRole WHERE Name='COO'];
// Create new user with a non-null user role ID
User usr = new User();
usr.Lastname ='SetupTest';
usr.Alias = 'stest';
usr.email = '[email protected]';
usr.ProfileId = p.Id;
usr.UserRoleId = r.Id;
insert usr;
system.debug(usr);
}

}
Trigger AccountTrigger on Account(Before delete, Before update){

if(trigger.isBefore && trigger.isUpdate){

AccountHandlerClass.updateRelatedContactPhoneField(trigger.new, trigger.oldMap,
trigger.newMap);
// FutureMethodExample2.insertUserSetup(); // Calling Future Method
}
if(trigger.isBefore && trigger.isdelete){
AccountHandlerClass.accountDelete(trigger.old);
}
}

11. What are the way of monitor the schedule job ?

Ans: There are two way of monitior the job

1. Apex Jobs Page:

Setup > Apex Jobs to see a list of Apex jobs, including scheduled jobs, their status, and
execution details.
2. Developer Console:
You can use the Developer Console to monitor and debug scheduled jobs. In the Developer
Console, go to the "Query Editor" tab and execute the following query to retrieve scheduled
jobs:

SELECT Id, CronExpression, NextFireTime, PreviousFireTime, StartTime, EndTime, Status,

JobItemsProcessed, TotalJobItems, NumberOfErrors, ExtendedStatus FROM CronTrigger
WHERE CronJobDetail.JobType = '7'

12. How can we stop scheduling job ?

Ans: // Retrieve the CronTrigger Id of the scheduled job String jobName = 'YourScheduledJobName';
CronTrigger jobTrigger = [SELECT Id FROM CronTrigger WHERE CronJobDetail.Name = :jobName
LIMIT 1];
// Abort the job using the CronTrigger Id
System.abortJob(jobTrigger.Id);
