How to specify an agent for a module?

Question

1C-Bitrix

I am writing a module and it is necessary that after installing the module, an agent is created,
it will run a function that accesses the infoblocks API at a specified frequency and imports data from an external source into the infoblock.

How can I specify in the settings of my module that when it is installed, an agent is created that will start after the required amount of time?
And where to place the agent code itself in the module structure?

Answer 1

An agent can be added using the CAgent::AddAgent
method. A call to this method can be placed in the install/index.php of the module.

And where to place the agent code itself in the module structure

For example, in the lib folder inside the module in one of the classes. In general, wherever it is convenient for you

Answer 2

Add the InstallAgent function to install/index.php with the required parameters CAgent::AddAgent
