Example bulk operations implementation

This document describes how bulk operations can be implemented. There are three primary tasks to accomplish this:

  • Create a publisher that sends messages to the message queue
  • Create a consumer that receives and processes messages
  • Configure the message queues

Create a publisher

A publisher’s duties include scheduling a bulk operation. It must generate a bulkUuid for each operation, send each operation to the message queue, and report on the status of each operations.

The following code sample shows how these duties can be completed.

Create a consumer

A consumer class receives messages from the message queue and changes the status after it is processed. The following example defines a consumer that handles price update bulk operations.

Configure message queues

The message queue topology must be configured to implement bulk operations. Create or edit the following files in the module’s app/code/<vendor>/<module_name>/etc directory.

  • communication.xml
  • di.xml
  • queue_consumer.xml
  • queue_publisher.xml
  • queue_topology.xml

For more information about the di.xml file, see Dependency Injection. For information the other files, see Configure message queues.

Create communication.xml

The communication.xml file defines aspects of the message queue system that apply to all topics for the module. Create this file with the following contents:

1
2
3
4
5
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Communication/etc/communication.xsd">
    <topic name="<your_topic_name>" request="Magento\AsynchronousOperations\Api\Data\OperationInterface">
        <handler name="<your_handler_name>" type="<Consumer_Class>" method="<consumer_method>" />
    </topic>
</config>

Create di.xml

Add the following type to the module’s di.xml file.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
<type name="Magento\Framework\MessageQueue\MergerFactory">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="mergers" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="<your_consumer_name>" xsi:type="string"><Merger_Class></item>
        </argument>
    </arguments>
</type>

Create queue_consumer.xml

The queue_consumer.xml file defines the relationship between a queue and its consumer. Create this file with the following contents:

1
2
3
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework-message-queue:etc/consumer.xsd">
    <consumer name="<consumer_name>" queue="<queue_name>" connection="amqp" consumerInstance="Magento\Framework\MessageQueue\Consumer" handler="<Consumer_Class>::<Consumer_method>"/>
</config>

Create queue_publisher.xml

The queue_publisher.xml file defines the exchange where a topic is published. Create this file with the following contents:

1
2
3
4
5
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework-message-queue:etc/publisher.xsd">
    <publisher topic="<topic_name>">
        <connection name="amqp" exchange="<exchange>" />
    </publisher>
</config>

Create queue_topology.xml

The queue_topology.xml file defines the message routing rules and declares queues and exchanges. Create this file with the following contents:

1
2
3
4
5
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework-message-queue:etc/topology.xsd">
    <exchange name="magento" type="topic" connection="amqp">
        <binding id="defaultBinding" topic="" destinationType="queue" destination="<queue_name>"/>
    </exchange>
</config>
