Scenario

In this example we want to poll for an incoming file on the Server A, once file(s) matching a reguler expression are found on Server A then JobScheduler should transfer the file(s) from Server A to Server B.
After successful transfer of files to Server B then JobScheduler should execute a script for post-processing on Server B via SSH.

jobscheduler->target_server  [dir=righ label="3. ssh command"  color="red"];
}

Solution

For such a file transfer and processing workflow JobScheduler has built-in JITL jobs, namely the JADE YADE job and SSH job.
The JADE YADE JITL Jobs be configured to transfer data from Server-to-Server without touchdown, more information about Server-to-Server transfer can be found here: Example for JADE YADE Server-to-Server File Transfer.
JADE has a built-in polling feature that can be configured by using polling parameters, i.e.
- poll_interval: frequency of polling in seconds and
- poll_timeout: maximum duration in seconds for polling.
The job chain can be configured by an order to run at a predefined time, to repeat execution or to be started manually.

Job Chain: FileTransferAndProcessing.job_chain.xml

The job chain has two nodes:

</job_chain>

Step 1: Job jade_s2s_file_transfer

This job is a JADE YADE JITL job that is configured to poll a source host (via FTP) for files matching file_spec=^TEST*\.log$ for every 30 seconds during a maximum of 600 seconds.
The matching file(s) will be copied to the target host (SFTP). More information about JADE JITL job configuration can be found here: JADE_JITL_Parameters.

Step 2: Job ssh_start_proccessing

This job is a JITL job that is configured to execute a command on a remote host using SSH. The SSH JITL job can be configured to connect using a public/private key pair or with user/password authentication.
More information about SSH JITL job configuration can be found here: SSH_JITL_JOB_PARAMETERS.
