👨‍💻 Development Help

Hi,
I am creating workflow for module at my local Suitecrm 7.1 but those are not working. I had checked in scheduler but it is showing last successful run is never.
Can anybody give me solution for this.
How can i create cron job for workflow and how can i run it ?

Hi,

on the Schedulers list view there is text to setup the Crontab which gives you a bit of text like:

          • cd /var/www/project; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

which you need to add to the crontab file if you are using linux, Windows has a very similar optio.

if you are using linux the most common way of adding this file is by the command line:

type : crontab -e

this will open a file which you then need to paste in what the list view has given you starting with the *'s. save the file and then check the schedluers if it is done correctly you should see the scheduler records start to run. you might need to give it a minute or two for it to kick in fully.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

If you are running linux you would type ‘sudo crontab -e’. This brings up the cron tab. You then navigate to Admin -> Schedulers within SuiteCRM. At the bottom of the schedulers list, there is a URL. Copy and paste this into the crontab within the terminal. Ctrl+X and press y. This will save the changes and your schedulers should now be running(click on scheduler and check log).

If you are running on WAMPP/MAMP or a hosted service, this may differ.

Thanks,

Will.
