Here are some simple steps to get you fully started with Quartz Scheduler on MySQL database using Groovy. The script below will allow you to quickly experiment different Quartz configuration settings using an external file.
First step is to setup the database with tables. Assuming you already have installed MySQL and have access to create database and tables.
bash> mysql -u root -p
sql> create database quartz2;
sql> create user 'quartz2'@'localhost' identified by 'quartz2123';
sql> grant all privileges on quartz2.* to 'quartz2'@'localhost';
sql> exit;
bash> mysql -u root -p quartz2 < /path/to/quartz-dist/docs/dbTables/tables_mysql.sql
The
tables_mysql.sql can be found from Quartz distribution download, or directly from their source
here.
Once the database is up, you need to write some code to start up the Quartz Scheduler. Here is a simply Groovy script
quartzServer.groovy that will run as a tiny scheduler server.
// Run Quartz Scheduler as a server
// Author: Author: Zemian Deng, Date: 2012-12-15_16:46:09
@GrabConfig(systemClassLoader=true)
@Grab('mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.22')
@Grab('org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.1')
@Grab('org.quartz-scheduler:quartz:2.1.6')
import org.quartz.*
import org.quartz.impl.*
import org.quartz.jobs.*
config = args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "quartz.properties"
scheduler = new StdSchedulerFactory(config).getScheduler()
scheduler.start()
// Register shutdown
addShutdownHook {
scheduler.shutdown()
}
// Quartz has its own thread, so now put this script thread to sleep until
// user hit CTRL+C
while (!scheduler.isShutdown()) {
Thread.sleep(Long.MAX_VALUE)
}
And now you just need a config file
quartz-mysql.properties that looks like this:
# Main Quartz configuration
org.quartz.scheduler.skipUpdateCheck = true
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = DatabaseScheduler
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceId = NON_CLUSTERED
org.quartz.scheduler.jobFactory.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleJobFactory
org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.JobStoreTX
org.quartz.jobStore.driverDelegateClass = org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.StdJDBCDelegate
org.quartz.jobStore.dataSource = quartzDataSource
org.quartz.jobStore.tablePrefix = QRTZ_
org.quartz.threadPool.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 5
# JobStore: JDBC jobStoreTX
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.URL = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/quartz2
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.user = quartz2
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.password = quartz2123
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.maxConnections = 8
You can run the Groovy script as usual
bash> groovy quartzServer.groovy quartz-mysql.properties

That's a full run of above setup. Go ahead and play with different config. Read
http://quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.1.x/configuration for more details.
Here I will post couple more easy config that will get you started in a commonly used config set.
A MySQL cluster enabled configuration. With this, you can start one or more shell terminal and run different instance of quartzServer.groovy with the same config. All the quartz scheduler instances should cluster themselve and distribute your jobs evenly.
# Main Quartz configuration
org.quartz.scheduler.skipUpdateCheck = true
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = DatabaseClusteredScheduler
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceId = AUTO
org.quartz.scheduler.jobFactory.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleJobFactory
org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.JobStoreTX
org.quartz.jobStore.driverDelegateClass = org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.StdJDBCDelegate
org.quartz.jobStore.dataSource = quartzDataSource
org.quartz.jobStore.tablePrefix = QRTZ_
org.quartz.jobStore.isClustered = true
org.quartz.threadPool.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 5
# JobStore: JDBC jobStoreTX
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.URL = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/quartz2
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.user = quartz2
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.password = quartz2123
org.quartz.dataSource.quartzDataSource.maxConnections = 8
Here is another config set for a simple in-memory scheduler.
# Main Quartz configuration
org.quartz.scheduler.skipUpdateCheck = true
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = InMemoryScheduler
org.quartz.scheduler.jobFactory.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleJobFactory
org.quartz.threadPool.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 5
Now, if you need more fancy UI management of Quartz, give MySchedule a try.
Happy scheduling!
