Scheduling

General​

Every element type (documents, data objects, assets) supports scheduled tasks:

  • Publish - Publish the element
  • Unpublish - Unpublish the element
  • Delete - Delete the element
  • Publish version - Publish a specific version (see Versioning)
note

If a data object is already published, the Publish action does not publish the latest unpublished version. Use Publish version to publish a specific version instead.

Scheduled tasks require the Symfony Messenger worker to be running. Configure it with the pimcore_messenger transport as described in the Symfony Messenger setup guide. Alternatively, run scheduled tasks directly via bin/console pimcore:maintenance -j scheduledtasks.

Usage​

Open the Schedule tab on a data object in Pimcore Studio:

Scheduling - the icon in the editorScheduling - the icon in the editorScheduling - the icon in the editor

Click Add to create a new task row with these options:

  • date and time - When the task runs
  • action - Which operation to perform
  • version - Only used with the Publish version action
  • active - Indicates the task has not been processed yet

To schedule automatic publishing of an unpublished object, configure the task as shown:

Scheduling - the new taskScheduling - the new taskScheduling - the new task

The resulting database entry:

`schedule_tasks`
# id, cid, ctype, date, action, version, active
'7', '76', 'object', '1474034700', 'publish', NULL, '1'

After the maintenance worker processes the task:

`schedule_tasks`
# id, cid, ctype, date, action, version, active
'8', '76', 'object', '1474034700', 'publish', NULL, '0'
