Deployment

  • In a remote configuration service (RCS

...

  • )

...

  • the supervising JobScheduler

...

  • manages a central configuration directory (generally named remote) for transport (push) of JobScheduler object files to the

...

  • Workload JobSchedulers (JWS).
  • The objects

...

  • that have to be deployed

...

  • are stored in the subfolders of the folder named remote of the config folder of the supervising JobScheduler. 
    • There is a subfolder named

...

    • _all

...

    • the content of which

...

    • will be pushed to all connected JWS

...

    • .
    • Tehre could be other subfolders with a name that is created from <servername>#<portnumber> the content of which is pushed to the JWS running on <servername> and listening on <portnumber>. For every JWS a subfolder is expected and

...

    • has to be created.
  • In the configuration of a JWS the

...

  • address of the RCS has to be customized.
    • Once a

...

    • Workload JobScheduler is started, it

...

    • sends a

...

    • registration message to the RCS via TCP/IP. 
    • The RCS then sends the

...

    • current configuration objects from the RCS's remote directory with an internal

...

    • command via TCP/IP to the JWS. 
    • The RCS

...

    • then transfers the objects to the folder cache in the config folder of the JWS.
  • Whenever a configuration file is changed in the remote directory of the RCS, it sends a message via UDP to all JWS

...

  • to signal

...

  • that the configuration has changed.
    • Sometimes the signalling to the JWS

...

    • might not work

...

    • due to the UDP port (or UDP in general)

...

    • being blocked by

...

    • a firewall of the server, where the JWS is running.
      • In JobScheduler versions older than 1.3.9 this is not

...

      • logged to the

...

      • JobScheduler log file.
      • With releases 1.3.9 and newer a warning message is

...

      • added to scheduler.log, if it is not possible for the RCS to send the 'configuration is changed' signal via UDP to a JWS:
        SCHEDULER-474 Workload scheduler is not responding to UDP message since 2010-09-09 14:28:50.000 UTC (72s). Workload scheduler's configuration can not be updated.]
  • There is a panel in JOC where all the connected JWS are listed.
