Batch Job Best Practices

Sept 07, 2010

  • when updating many records, flush the Hibernate session frequently to prevent Hibernate from using too much memory and crashing the app (see this thread on the mifos-developer mailing list for more information)

  • If updating a particular record fails, if possible:

    • skip the record

    • provide an error in the log file with essential information about the record

    • move on to the next record

  • Note any records (account ids) that could not be handled successfully in the scheduled_tasks table

  • Use the logger object on the parent getLogger()
