Adobe Exam AD0-E722 Topic 7 Question 40 Discussion

Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E722 exam

Question #: 40
Topic #: 7

A custom cron job has been added to an Adobe Commerce system to collect data for several reports. Its crontab. xml configuration is as follows:

The job is data intensive and runs for between 20 and 30 minutes each night.

Within a few days of deployment, it is noticed that the sites sitemap. xml file has not been updated since the new job was added.

What should be done to fix this issue?

AChange the schedule of the siten.aP_generate cron job to 30 0 * * *so that it runs after the gather_reporting_data job has completed.

BCreate a new cron group for the reporting job, specifying <use_separate_process>i</use_separate_process>

CBreak the data gathering job into a number of smaller jobs, so that each individual job runs for a maximum of 5 minutes

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The issue here is that the gather_reporting_data job is running for a long time and blocking the sitemap_generate job from running. The solution is to create a new cron group for the reporting job and specify <use_separate_process>i</use_separate_process> so that the reporting job runs in a separate process and does not block the sitemap_generate job.Reference: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-cloud-service/user-guide/architecture/starter-architecture.html?lang=en#cron-groups-and-processes

I'm with Wayne on this one. If the job is that resource-intensive, maybe it's time to rethink the whole architecture. Just sayin'.

A) Change the schedule of the siten.aP_generate cron job to 30 0 * * *so that it runs after the gather_reporting_data job has completed.

I think breaking the data gathering job into smaller jobs could also be a good solution.

I agree with Noel, that might help fix the issue with the sitemap.xml file not being updated.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Changing the schedule seems like a bandaid solution. I think option C is the best long-term fix.

I think both options C and B could work well together to solve the problem.

But wouldn't creating a new cron group also help with the issue?

I like option B. Separating the reporting job into its own cron group sounds like a smart way to manage the process without interfering with other tasks.
