How to call another batch Apex from one batch apex?

How to call another batch apex from one batch apex? i am providing 2 sample batch apexes just for testing purpose, or else can some one provide me a sample batch apex in which another batch will be called

Batch apex 1

public class BatchLeadConverted implements database.Batchable<sobject>
{
    list<lead> llist=new list<lead>();
    public string query='select id,name,status from lead';
    public string flag='Closed - Not Converted';
    
    public database.querylocator start(database.BatchableContext bc){
       return database.getQueryLocator(query); 
  }
    public void execute(database.BatchableContext bc,list<lead> le){
        for(lead l:le){
            if(l.status==flag)
            {
                llist.add(l);
            }
                
        }

      delete llist;            
      database.emptyRecycleBin(llist); 
    }
    public void finish(database.BatchableContext bc){
        
    }
 }

called with below code 

Batchleadconverted b=new BatchLeadConverted();
database.executebatch(b,2); 

Batch Apex 2

public class accno implements database.Batchable<sobject>
{
    integer i=0;
    public string query='select id,name from account';
    public Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc)
    {
        return database.getQueryLocator(query);   
    }
    public void execute(database.BatchableContext bc, list<account> acc)
    {
        for(account a:acc)
        {            
          a.name=a.name+i;i++; 
        }
     update acc;       
    }
    public void finish(database.BatchableContext bc)
    {
        messaging.SingleEmailMessage ms=New messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
        string[] mailme=new string[]                {'xxxxxx@gmail.com'};
        ms.settoAddresses(mailme); 
        ms.setsubject ('record update');
        ms.setPlainTextBody('ExampleText');
        messaging.sendEmail(new messaging.SingleEmailMessage[]{ms});
    }
 
}

call with below code

accno a=new accno ();
database.executebatch(a)

if you want to call another batch then include that one inside a Finish Method

global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC)
{
    Database.executeBatch(new MyBatch());
}

Your Example::

DataBase.ExecuteBatch(new BatchLeadConverted(),2);

public class BatchLeadConverted implements database.Batchable<sobject>
{
    list<lead> llist=new list<lead>();
    public string query='select id,name,status from lead';
    public string flag='Closed - Not Converted';
    
    public database.querylocator start(database.BatchableContext bc){
       return database.getQueryLocator(query); 
  }
    public void execute(database.BatchableContext bc,list<lead> le){
        for(lead l:le){
            if(l.status==flag)
            {
                llist.add(l);
            }
                
        }

      delete llist;            
      database.emptyRecycleBin(llist); 
    }
    public void finish(database.BatchableContext bc){
           Database.executeBatch(new new accno ());
        
    }
 }

The term for this I've seen used is "batch chaining".  You can kick off the 2nd batch process within the finish method - I've done this succesfully.  Here's one example:

global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC)
{        
     Batchleadconverted b=new BatchLeadConverted();
     Id batchId = Database.executeBatch(b, 2);


Is this what you were looking for?  If so, please mark this as the answer.  FYI you can also create a scheduable class for this batch and schedule the batch later on vs executing immediately.

Thanks,

Bronco

Hi , 

You can call the other batch class either in start method or in finish method as per your requirment .

You need to create the instance of the second batch class and call the execute method in Database class either passing insance of batch class or instance of batch class and batch size .

  SecondBatch  bat=new SecondBatch  ();
      Database.executeBatch(bat, 100);
     or 
     Database.executeBatch(bat);

Let me know if it helps .

Thanks

To call another batch class from a batch class,  
  • Call the another batch class in the finish method.
  • As execute method being called many times but Start and finish method only once.
  • So once your main batch is completed and the finish method is called and then it will call the another batch.

@abhi answer works for me.

yes is this posiable to call one batch class to another batch class 
Call the another batch class in the finish method.
