call Database.executeBatch from @future method allowed?

Hi,

although i've studied the documentation, i can't find the answer to my question: is it allowed to call a batch class from an @future method? Maybe i can't find it because it is simply allowed, but need to be sure, for my entire design is depending on it.

Hope for some respons!

Br, Marco

No you cant call a Batch Class from a future method. Here's the link to support the answer:

  • Methods declared asfuturearen't allowed in classes that implement theDatabase.Batchableinterface.
  • Methods declared asfuturecan't be called from a batch Apex class.

The answer to your question is No. If you try to call a batch class from an @future method you get this error.

 

System.AsyncException: Database.executeBatch cannot be called from a batch or future method.
