The Binaries File

  • jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.jar

  • jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.pom

The version number 1.9.6 from this sample is based on the semantic versioning scheme. This sample version number is used for the examples in this article.

The Structure of the Binaries

The jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.jar file is a bundle jar with all binaries as well as the JobScheduler engine Java library included.

To integrate the library into your own maven project or to download it via maven, add the following configuration to the pom.xml file of your project.

  <version>1.9.6</version>
</dependency>

The structure of the jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.jar file looks like this:

Setting up a JobScheduler with the Binaries

Required configuration files

  • sos.ini
  • factory.ini
  • scheduler.xml

Configuration

Step 1

To get a minimal JobScheduler up and running, create a home folder, e.g. myJobScheduler, and copy the binaries according to your operating systemto this folder.

Step 2

Add the following files to a folder:

  • 3rd Party libraries that are configured in the jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.pom file.
  • the Java library com.sos-berlin.jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.jar from the bundle
  • the JDBC database driver you want to use.

 If you copy the 3rd party libraries to a different folder then you have to add this folder to the class_path setting in the [java] section of the factory.ini file.

Step 3

Create a sos.ini file and copy your license key to this file. This is a technical license key that ships with the Open Source License and with the Commercial License of the software. The file should look like this:

Code Block
languagetext
titlesos.ini
collapsetrue
[licence]
key1                    = PUT_YOUR_KEY_HERE

Create a factory.ini file with e.g. the following configuration:

;                         enable detailed Java debug messages

Info

For this example, we created a libs folder in the home folder and copied the 3rd party libraries and the jdbc driver to this folder. Therefore we can use a relative path in the factory.ini.

We set the class path in the factory.ini like this:

[java]
class_path = libs/*.jar;

Otherwise an absolute path to the folder where the 3rd party libraries are copied to has to be configured.

 

Create a file scheduler.xml and configure the port your JobScheduler should listen to:

Code Block
languagexml
titlescheduler.xml
collapsetrue
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?>
<spooler>
		<config port="4444">
				<params>
						<param name="scheduler.order.keep_order_content_on_reschedule" value="false"/>
				</params>
				<security ignore_unknown_hosts="yes">
						<allowed_host host="localhost" level="all"/>
				</security>
				<plugins>
						<plugin java_class="com.sos.scheduler.engine.plugins.webservice.WebServicePlugin"/>
						<plugin java_class="com.sos.scheduler.engine.plugins.nodeorder.NodeOrderPlugin"/>
				</plugins>
		</config>
</spooler>

Finally create a start script like this:

Code Block
languagepowershell
titlestart.cmd
collapsetrue
@echo
set exepath=%~dp0
scheduler.exe -sos.ini="%exepath%sos.ini" -config="%exepath%scheduler.xml" -ini="%exepath%factory.ini"

Additional configuration

Code Block
languagetext
titlelog4j.properties
collapsetrue
log4j.rootCategory=info, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n
log4j.logger.org.hibernate=fatal
log4j.logger.JobScheduler=fatal
log4j.logger.com.sos.scheduler.engine=info
# see http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/api/Log-javax.script.xml
log4j.logger.com.sos.scheduler.engine.jobapi.scripting=debug, scheduler
log4j.appender.scheduler=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.scheduler.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.scheduler.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n

Now your home folder should contain at least these files (windows-x64 example, other platforms differ):

  • factory.ini
  • jobscheduler-engine.dll
  • log4j.properties(optional)
  • scheduler.exe
  • scheduler.xml
  • sos.ini
  • start.cmd

Testing the JobScheduler

  1. Create a folder with the name live in your home folder. Create a simple job in the live folder like this:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    titlehello world job example
    collapsetrue
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <job>
        <script  language="shell">
            <![CDATA[echo Hello World!]]>
        </script>
        <run_time  once="yes"/>
    </job>
  2. Open a console in your home folder and start the JobScheduler with the start.cmd start script.
    If you have configured logging (log4j.properties and path to the properties file in the factory.ini file) then you should see a task log and job log for the sample job like this:

    Code Block
    languagetext
