Adobe Exam AD0-E722 Topic 5 Question 28 Discussion

Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E722 exam

Question #: 28
Topic #: 5

A custom cron job has been added to an Adobe Commerce system to collect data for several reports. Its crontab. xml configuration is as follows:

The job is data intensive and runs for between 20 and 30 minutes each night.

Within a few days of deployment, it is noticed that the sites sitemap. xml file has not been updated since the new job was added.

What should be done to fix this issue?

AChange the schedule of the siten.aP_generate cron job to 30 0 * * *so that it runs after the gather_reporting_data job has completed.

BCreate a new cron group for the reporting job, specifying <use_separate_process>i</use_separate_process>

CBreak the data gathering job into a number of smaller jobs, so that each individual job runs for a maximum of 5 minutes

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The issue here is that the gather_reporting_data job is running for a long time and blocking the sitemap_generate job from running. The solution is to create a new cron group for the reporting job and specify <use_separate_process>i</use_separate_process> so that the reporting job runs in a separate process and does not block the sitemap_generate job.Reference: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-cloud-service/user-guide/architecture/starter-architecture.html?lang=en#cron-groups-and-processes

Option B seems like overkill - creating a whole new cron group just for one job? I'd go with Option C, it's the most elegant solution that directly addresses the root cause of the problem.

Haha, imagine if the dev team just set the reporting job to run at midnight, right after the sitemap job. That would be a classic case of 'the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing'!

A: Definitely, we need to make sure the jobs don't overlap like that.

The sitemap.xml issue is clearly due to the long-running reporting job. Option C looks like the best solution to me - breaking the job into smaller tasks that each finish within 5 minutes should prevent the sitemap from getting stale.
