There is a data column in oro_message_queue_job which can be used to log the output of cron job.

References

vendor\oro\platform\src\Oro\Component\MessageQueue\Job\JobRunner.php

In private function callbackResult($runCallback, $job), it does the callback to execute the cron:

$jobRunner = $this->getJobRunnerForChildJob($job->getRootJob());
try {
    $result = call_user_func($runCallback, $jobRunner, $job);

So it passed 2 parameters to the anonymous function. The $job param is the entity for the table `oro_messag...

There is no config to register a cron job in OroPlatform. There are 2 steps to add a cron job:

1. add a command class in the bundle
2. run a CLI to add the job in table oro_cron_schedule

The added class can be run as a command in CLI when it is defined as a Service.

Add a Command Class

src\Stars\Bundle\LoggerEventBundle\Command\InsertActionDataCommand.php

<?php

namespace Stars\Bundle\LoggerEventBundle\Command;

use Oro\Bundle\CronBundle\Command\CronCommandInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;

What is a Service?

A service is a discrete unit of functionality:

1. It logically represents a business activity with a specified outcome.
2. It is self-contained.
3. It is a black box for its consumers.
4. It may consist of other underlying services.

Put simply, a service is any PHP object that performs some sort of global task.

You don't have to do anything special to make a service: simply write a PHP class with some code that accomplishes a specific task.

There are 3 ways to create a DBAL connection to access another database:

\Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\ConnectionFactory

/** @var \Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\ConnectionFactory $connectionFactory */
$connectionFactory = $this->getContainer()->get('doctrine.dbal.connection_factory');
$connection = $connectionFactory->createConnection([
	'pdo' => new \PDO(
		"mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=$dbname", 
		$username, 
		$password)
]);

$connection->executeQuery('SELECT * FROM your_table');

What is an Entity?

Every PHP object that you want to save in the database using Doctrine is called an "Entity". Each entity must have a unique identifier.

Oro Platform Entity

The entity class resides in the Entity directory in the bundle's root. In VS Code, install PHP Setters & Getters to generate the setter and getter code.

src\Stars\Bundle\LoggerEventBundle\Entity\ActionData.php:

<?php

After we have our bundle, we can add a controller with just 2 files.

Add a Controller Class

Add file src\DbugBundle\Controller\DbugController.php

<?php

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;


/**
 * @Route("/dbug")
 */
class DbugController
{
    /**
     * @Route("/phpinfo", name="dbug_phpinfo")
     */
    public function phpinfoAction(): Response
    {
        ob_start();

Step 1: Add a cron for user nginx

Note I'm on Centos with Nginx web server. Open the crontab file in vi editor on behalf of the nginx user:

[kiat@reporting misoro]$ sudo -u nginx crontab -e
no crontab for nginx - using an empty one
crontab: installing new crontab

That will launch the vi editor.

Step 2: Editing the cron file in vi

Press Insert key.

Paste:

*/1 * * * * php /usr/share/nginx/html/misoro/bin/console oro:cron --env=prod > /dev/null

Notes:

1. that will schedule execution of the oro:cron comm...

Reference the official install guide.

We are using Symfony Framework v. 3.4 LTS in Oro Applications v.3.x.

Errors I Encountered and How I Fixed Them

Apache is Active

Check Port 80

[kiat@reporting /]$ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :80
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      55851/httpd

Port 80 is used by Apache (as user httpd).

Disable Apache

In the Creating a Simple CRUD cookbook, it uses REST API to delete entities. However, the description isn't enough to properly implement the delete operation.

However, there are examples on how to do it in the \vendor\oro\platform codebase. Reference vendor\oro\platform\src\Oro\Bundle\OrganizationBundle\ on coding for REST API. The files of inter...

Here's my attempt to follow the official OroPlatform guide on creating a simple CRUD.

2 Ways to Install

Actually, there are more than 2 ways to download the source codes. But the common ways are

1. Git Clone
2. Composer

Git Clone

1. Fork the repository from oroinc.
   1. For running the applications, fork from one of the pinned repositories
   2. For contributing to the code, fork the repo without suffix -application
2. Git clone the fork with TortoiseGit.
3. Composer to get the dependencies.

What is a Bundle?

All OroPlatform-based applications have unique features that facilitate smooth development routine, like autoregistration of bundles and configuration files, for example.

However, these features assume that all application code is organized in bundles. For this reason, you have to create your own bundle for your custom code in order to perform...
