what are the steps to migrate scheduled jobs from v8 to v9 seamlessly?

Akira_Sainak

Hi,

I'm planning to migrate from v8 to v9, and I want to understand how this will impact the scheduled jobs created in v8. Will they get deleted or stored differently after the upgrade?

Can someone explain?

Hi Akira,

In v8, scheduled jobs were configured at the system level and were visible across the platform. However, in v9, scheduled jobs are now project-level. They can be created within a specific project and are visible within that project and at the system-level as attached to the project.

Here’s what happens during migration:

1. Using Dependency in v8:
   • If your scheduled flow in v8 is added as a dependency to a project, it will automatically appear within that respective project after the upgrade to v9.
2. Direct Database Usage in v9 Installer:
   • If you directly point the v8 database to the v9 installer, the existing scheduled jobs will appear in the 'Jobs and Events' folder.
   • You’ll need to manually tag these jobs to the required project. To do this:
     • Right-click on the scheduled job.
     • Select 'Attach to Project' to link it to the respective project.

Hi, I have a few more questions regarding scheduled jobs in v9:

1. Is it recommended to place scheduled jobs at the system level?
2. Can we reference flows from a project in system-level scheduled jobs?
3. If that isn’t possible, would we need to duplicate all the components of a project’s flow to use it at the system level?

Hi there,

In v9, scheduled jobs are no longer system-level; they must be project-level.

1. Even if you create a scheduled job at the system level, you’ll need to tag it to a project to attach a scheduled flow.
2. Scheduled jobs can only reference flows within the same project. This means the scheduled job must be linked to the project containing the desired flow.
