It is built on DJJob and makes use of the existing MySQL backend. Some tasks this may be ideal for are: - Downloading files - Processing batch jobs - Sending data to a back-office application or third party systems ### System Requirements [](#system-requirements) - PHP 5.1 or higher - MySQL 4.1.20 or higher - Magento CE1.6.0-1.9.x/EE1.7.0-1.14.x ### Usage [](#usage) Jobs must extend Jowens\_JobQueue\_Model\_Job\_Abstract and implement the perform() method. ``` class Foo_Bar_Model_Order_Job extends Jowens_JobQueue_Model_Job_Abstract { public function perform() { // implementation logic } } ``` That job can then be used like so: ``` $job = Mage::getModel('bar/order_job'); $job->setName('Order# 12345') ->enqueue(); ``` Name is used to identify the job in backend, so be descriptive! The enqueue method can take two optional parameters, a string for queue name and timestamp to specify a time to run the job. The job can also be attempted immediately. If it fails it is added to the default queue for retry. ``` $job = Mage::getModel('bar/order_job'); $job->setName('Order# 12345') ->performImmediate(); ``` To put the job on a queue other than the default one, performImmediate takes an optional string value for the name of the retry queue. ### Running Jobs [](#running-jobs) JobQueue requires Magento cron to be configured in order to run pending jobs. By default a JobQueue worker executes the pending jobs every 5 minutes. If a job fails it will be retried up to 10 times. Both of these settings can be configured in the admin panel under System > Configuration > General > JobQueue. Jobs in other queues can be executed by adding more cron entries to a custom module config.xml. ``` jobqueue/config/cron_expr jobqueue/worker::executeJobs orders ``` Alternatively workers could be configured to run as they normally would using DJJob. See the [documentation](https://github.com/seatgeek/djjob#running-the-jobs). ### Monitoring Jobs [](#monitoring-jobs) Pending and failed jobs can be monitored in the admin panel by going to System > JobQueue. ### Health Score 36 — LowBetter than 81% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity41 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community22 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 87.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
