How to execute Cron from controller file in magento2

Question

I have created a UI form admin html.

I have a requirement when the form is saved, Need to fetch data from custom module and perform some action.

The logic is working but if I have records of more than 1000, then getting timeout issue.

So, I have written a cron file to do that, So my question here is Can I call the cron from my controller file?

As like below

class Controller{ protected $cronFile; /** * Constructor * * @param \Vendor\Module\Cron\Custom $cronFile */ public function __construct( \Vendor\Module\Cron\Custom $cronFile ){ $this->cronFile = $cronFile; } public function execute() { $this->cronFile->execute(); // another logic }

}

This way if I use, Unless the cron sucess, I still get the loading screen when save button is clicked.

Is there any other easy method to achieve this. Thanks!

I have one possible idea you disable you can cron job using crontab.xml file and using controller you can set cron job Schedule with 1 min. When controller call you can Schedule cron job manully and it's may be work. If you need code let know. — Mohit Patel

Also, This need to call when I call the admin UI save controller, As soon as I click save, it should save and reload the form, Internally cron should run. — Manjunath

It is not recommended to call a cron job directly on form save action. Instead, you can use ajax call for your requirement, So that after the form submission, it will call the controller action and perform the cron job in the background. This way you can avoid the loading screen.

This controller action can be called when the form is saved, and it will trigger the cron job to run in the background, allowing the user to continue using the form without being blocked by the loading screen.

Hope this helps you to understand.

Happy coding!
