Need batch code to update field on custom object
I have not written any batch apex yet. I want to update a field on a custom object that will then fire a trigger to rollup sales dollars to managers. I have the rollup working properly when I manually update the controlling field, but I want to be able to schedule this job to run each day.
Anyone have a good example of this type of code?

global class UpdateCustomFieldBatch implements Database.Batchable<sObject>, Schedulable {
global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC){
return Database.getQueryLocator('select Id, YourCustomField__c from YourCustomObject__c /* WHERE - Your potential conditions here */);
}
global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<sObject> scope){
for(sObject s1 : scope){
s1.put('YourCustomField__c' , 'value2beAssigned');
}
update scope;
}
global void execute(SchedulableContext sc) {
UpdateCustomFieldBatch batch = new UpdateCustomFieldBatch();
database.executebatch(batch,YourSizeOfTheBatch);
}
global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){
/* additional code if You want to do smth in the end of the process - ie. send email with the notfiication or summary */
}
Best regards!
