Scope

Prerequisites

As mentioned above, additional tools have to be downloaded and configured following the below order:

Git

• You can find the Git download and documentation here.
• SOS uses Git 1.7.9.2. You can download the latest release from here.

Java

• To compile individual JobScheduler releases, different Java versions are required:
  • SOS uses the 1.8.0_74 build of the Java JDK to build JobScheduler release 1.9.0 and above.
• To compile the scheduler-engine for the correct target platform:
  • check if the system variable $JAVA_HOME is set to the installation path of your JDK installation.
  • check if $JAVA_HOME/bin is in your $PATH global variable.

Maven

• You can find the Maven documentation here.
• SOS uses Maven 3.3.9. You can download the latest Release from here.
• Maven's /bin folder has to be added to the global variable PATH in order to take effect.
• No further configuration is required for Maven in order to compile. If further configuration is wanted, for example to receive certain 3rd Party libraries from an official Maven2 repository, e.g. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, then you have to configure the settings.xml file.

Perl

• Perl 5, starting from 5.12.
• You can find the downloads here.
• No further configuration is required for Perl. 

C++ Compiler

Set up a development environment for Linux. You will need the following packages:

• gcc - GNU Compiler, starting from version 4.8.5
• zlib-devel
• binutils (version corresponding to gcc)

Download from the Source Repositories

Prepare a folder in your file system where you can clone the repositories to and change into this folder.

Repository for the JobScheduler Engine Documentation

Execute the following command:

git clone git@github.com:sos-berlin/scheduler-engine-doc.git

to download the project "scheduler-engine-doc" into the folder.

Repository for the JobScheduler Engine

Execute the following command in your Git Shell:

git clone git@github.com:sos-berlin/scheduler-engine.git

to download the project "scheduler-engine".

git checkout origin/master
git submodule foreach "git checkout origin/master"

git checkout v1.10.3
git submodule foreach "git checkout v1.10.3"

git checkout release/1.10
git submodule foreach "git checkout release/1.10"

Building the Projects

Preparation

Before you can start to build the projects you have to make sure that some required libraries are available for the build, which are not available from official public Maven repositories.

You can download the jar files and have to publish them to your local Maven repository in order to make these libraries available for the build.

The libraries to download are:

• ojdbc6
• webdavclient4j-core
• hostware (or use the version from an existing JobScheduler (x86) installation)

To publish these libraries to your local Maven repository ( $HOME/.m2/) use the goal install-file from the maven-install-plugin.

Command for ojdbc6:

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.1.0.7.0-Production -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<path-to-the-downloaded-library>/ojdbc6.jar -DlocalRepositoryPath=<path-to-your-local-maven-repository>

Command for webdavclient4j-core:

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install-file -DgroupId=webdavclient4j -DartifactId=webdavclient4j-core -Dversion=0.92 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<path-to-the-downloaded-library>/webdavclient4j-core-0.92.jar -DlocalRepositoryPath=<path-to-your-local-maven-repository>

Command for hostware:

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install-file -DgroupId=sos -DartifactId=hostware -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<path-to-the-downloaded-library>/hostware-1.0.0.jar -DlocalRepositoryPath=<path-to-your-local-maven-repository>

The values for groupId, artifactId and version parameters in the above examples are those that are already defined in the build configuration. When publishing the libraries with these values, the libraries will be found in your local Maven repository and can be used without modifying the configuration.

Build order

Since the projects depend on each other, you have to make sure that the projects are built in the proper order:

1. scheduler-engine-doc
2. scheduler-engine

Compile the JobScheduler Engine Documentation

Switch to the folder you have downloaded the scheduler-engine-doc project into, which might look like <PATH_TO_MY_GIT_REPOS>/scheduler-engine-doc. 

Type mvn clean install on the command line for building the project including all internal tests - these are tests developed by SOS that check the functionalities of the compiled sources. To compile without the tests, compile it the following way: mvn clean install -DskipTests.

Compile the JobScheduler Engine

Switch to the folder you have downloaded the scheduler-engine project to, which might look like <PATH_TO_MY_GIT_REPOS>/scheduler-engine.

Type the Maven command for installing on the command line for building the project including all internal tests - these are tests developed by SOS that check the functionalities of the compiled sources: 

mvn clean install -Psolaris

In order to check if JobScheduler can be compiled, you can use a first compilation without tests, use the following command:

mvn clean install -Psolaris -DskipTests

In order to compile with tests completely even though some tests failed, use the following command:

mvn clean install -Psolaris -D maven.test.failure.ignore=true | tee maven.log

 This last command after the pipe "tee maven.log" will write a log file in order to see which tests failed when compiling.

Generated libraries location

After the build has completed you find all created .jar files in

1. the target folder under each project and subproject.
2. the local ./m2 repository in your home folder ($HOME/.m2/repository/com/sos-berlin)

At this point you already have all the library files to update an exisiting JobScheduler installation in your system.

You can find the specific libraries for the different platform in the target folder of the engine-setup:

1. ./scheduler-engine/engine-setup/target/setup/scheduler.linux-***/bin
   • scheduler

2. ./scheduler-engine/engine-setup/target/setup/scheduler.linux-***/lib
   • libjobscheduler-engine.so
