Job importExchangeRates

Purpose and status

The job imports exchange rates via the providers selected in the configuration. It is configurable and is inactive by default in the job descriptor.

Select exchange rate provider (currencyProviderList): One or more providers are called sequentially.
Overwrite existing rates (overwrite): Replaces already stored rates with the imported values.
Reference currency (referenceCurrency): Is always included in the selection of required currencies.
Import all currencies or Select currencies (importAllCurrencies, currencyChooser): Either all currencies offered by the provider or only the selected currencies are processed.
Time interval (timeInterval): Days back (daysBack, at least 1) or Since (fromDate).

A buffer period is taken into account for the start period so that weekends and public holidays are covered.
With several providers, the provider processed later overwrites the previous value for duplicate currencies.
New currencies are registered by the common import service.
