Failed to execute scheduled job on post install script

Question

I have a post install script which schedules a batch apex. After installation of the package the jobs are getting scheduled but scheduled apex fails to execute scheduled jobs. It says dependent class is invalid and needs recompilation.

Here is the stack trace

Apex script unhandled exception by user/organization: 005xxxxxxxxx/00Dxxxxxxxx

Scheduled job 'FeedItem Delete Scheduled Job 40' threw unhandled exception.

caused by: line 3, column 44: Dependent class is invalid and needs recompilation: SPARTADMS.DMSFeedItemDeleteBatch: line 34, column 14: DML operation DELETE not allowed on SPARTADMS__Corporate_Document__Feed

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Chandan

Answer 1

It is basically telling you that the user (Ghost user of LicenseManager Type) does not have permission to delete FEED records.

See this related question:

InstallHandler runs under a special ghost user. What rights does it have?

After trial and error investigation, it appears the InstallHandler can run with unlimited privileges given one special condition; the InstallHandler implementor must have without sharing annotation.

You can delete all feed items you created. To delete feed items you didn’t create, you must have one of these permissions: - “Modify All Data” - “Modify All” on the Account object - “Moderate Chatter”
