Time dependent Field Updates
Hello All
Child Object : C, with one date field DF1.
When DF1 passes Today (i.e no longer => Today), it should update master object fields.
The trigger is not catching this. How should i go about this?
One possible solution is to schedule a batch to run every day, but not sure if thats the best solution.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sid
Have you tried:-
Date DF1 = system.today() + 1; // it would result the next dat
Hey Vinit, i dont understand what you trying to say.
I am trying to say;
Lets say your object is Obj__c,then use it like below :-
Obj__c ob = new Obj__c();
ob.DF__c = system.today() + 1 ; // This will assign the next day to your field DF__c
I dont have to change DF1 field.
My question, is when this date field is no longer a future date (i.e < Today), it should update the master object fields.
Ex: for a record, DF1 is 3/4/2013 and this record is good. But tomorow this date will be a past date, and the record is no longer good.
Then,do this
Date dt = system.today();
Obj__c ob = new Obj__c();
if(obj.DF__c<dt){
// do your code here
}
Hey Vineet. Please read my post carefully. I am not asking help to write a If-else code.
The condition i am saying, the trigger doesnt catch that, So i need a way which checks if that date date is passed, and do the related updates
This would also help you to achive your goal.
System.today().addDays(-1);
Thanks.

Scheduling with batch apex should be a feasible solution for your requrirement, which will execute on daily basis and will update master object fields as per your condition.

Sidharth,
I am not sure what yo mean,
Both the code would work :-
Obj__c ob = new Obj__c();
Date dt = system.today() + 1 ;
Or
Date dt = system.today().addDays(+1);
and you can use it in Trigger like below :-
for(Obj__c ob:Trigger.new){
if(
if(obj.DF__c<dt){
// do your code here
}
)
}
