Set Queue Jobs on EDI

Edi Queue Oca

This module integrates EDI exchange records with Queue Job, so that the four core exchange actions — generate, send, receive, and process — are dispatched as background jobs instead of running synchronously.

Each exchange type can optionally route its jobs to a specific channel, set a priority, or hold all jobs until a fixed time of day — useful when a trading partner’s receiving system has a nightly processing window or when the operator wants to concentrate resource-intensive EDI work in off-peak hours.

Usage

Automatic job dispatch

All exchange actions on edi.exchange.record are dispatched as background jobs automatically. No per-record configuration is required; the integration is active for every exchange type as soon as the module is installed.

Per-type job configuration

Each Exchange Type gains a Queue tab with optional settings:

Field	Purpose
Job channel	Route jobs to a specific channel (e.g. root.edi.high).
Job priority	Integer priority passed to the queue job (lower = higher priority).
Enable ETA Scheduling	Toggle to activate daily job accumulation (see below).
Execution time	Hour, minute, and timezone at which accumulated jobs are released. Visible only when ETA Scheduling is enabled.

Accumulating jobs until a fixed daily time

Enabling ETA Scheduling on an exchange type causes every job created for that type to be held in the queue until the configured time of day, rather than being processed immediately. All jobs that arrive during the day accumulate and are released together at that moment.

Typical use cases:

• A trading partner’s receiving system only processes incoming files at a specific nightly window (e.g. 22:00).

• Resource-intensive EDI operations (large exports, heavy transformations) should be deferred to off-peak hours to avoid competing with daytime workloads.

• Operational preference to send a batch of documents at a predictable daily time instead of dispatching them one by one in real time.

The execution time is configured with three fields:

• Hour — hour of the day (00–23).

• Minute — minute of the hour (00–59).

• Timezone — the timezone in which the hour and minute are interpreted. Defaults to the current user’s timezone.

At runtime the configured time is converted to the next matching UTC datetime and set as the queue job ETA. If the target time for today has already passed, the job is automatically scheduled for the same time tomorrow.

When Enable ETA Scheduling is off, jobs are dispatched immediately as usual.

Duplicate-job prevention

An identity key is attached to every queued job, so re-triggering an action for a record that already has a pending job does not enqueue a duplicate.
