Get the current site ID or site settings from the schedule job

Hi 
how can we get the current site ID or site settings from the schedule job. I have tried with HttpContext.Current but it's giving null because jobs are not executed on a web request. I have to update the page/block by using the schedule job. 

Thanks

Give a try to this-

 var currentSiteDef = SiteDefinition.Current;

Hi,

Scheduled jobs don't really execute in the context of a specific site so I suspect SiteDefinition.Current might not work. I tend to use ISiteDefinitionRepository to get all site instances and just pick one (either a specific one or, if the specific site's not important, the first) like this:

var currentSite = SiteDefinition.Current;
if (currentSite == null || ContentReference.IsNullOrEmpty(currentSite.StartPage))
{
    currentSite = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ISiteDefinitionRepository>().List().FirstOrDefault();
}
if (currentSite == null)
{
    return "No sites defined";
}

Hi Paul, I think "SiteDefinition.Current" should work. I used it in one project and if I remember correctly we retrieved the site base URL from this

Yeah, it'll work in most scenarios as long as there's a wildcard host mapping (or the current host maps to a site, though I'm not sure that would work without an HTTP context). It's always worthwhile having a fallback just in case though.

Actually, looking at the comment on SiteDefinition.Current, you can ensure a site definition is always returned by setting a wildcard host mapping (*) in the site configuration in admin mode though it's still worthwhile handling the situation where a site definition can't be resolved.
