JobScheduler Operations Center

The JobScheduler Operations Center (JOC) is used to monitor and control the jobs, job chains and orders.
You open JOC in a browser with the URL:

  http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port] (e.g. http://localhost:4444) 

where scheduler_host and scheduler_port are the hostname and the TCP port number of the JobScheduler.

Configuration via custom.js

The configuration file custom.js for the operationsGui JOC is stored in the ./config/operations_gui directory beside the ./config directory.

For releases < 1.3.9 you find the custom.js in the ./config/html directory.

...

The custom.js of version 1.3.9 contains the following variables:

Cookie

...

Behavior

Possible values are true and false.

...

If true then only filters are read from cookies whereat the defined correspondent filters in this file have priority.

 _disable_cookie_settings = false;

Language

Set the interface language.
A language file scheduler_lang_sos_lang.js_ (i.e. scheduler_lang_ru.js for russianRussian) must exist.

The language files are stored in the ./operations_gui directory beside the ./bin directory.

For releases < 1.3.9 you will find the language files in the ./config/html directory.

If this value is empty then no language file is tried to include and english files are included and English is used.

At this time the time of writing (December 2014) 'de' (germanGerman), 'fr' (frenchFrench) and 'ru' (russianRussian) is are supported.

 _sos_lang                = '';
'';

If you want a user-defined language setting then check the example below.

Automatically Refresh

Possible values are true and false.
If true then the periodically update is onperiodical page refresh is active.

 _update_periodically     = false;

Interval between the periodically updates periodical page refresh in seconds.

 _update_seconds          = 5;

Views

You can switch between the tabs 'jobs', 'job_chains', 'process_classes' and 'last_activities' as the beginning starting view.

 _show_card               = 'jobs';

For some tabs you can set the default view mode (list or tree).

 _view.jobs               = 'list';
 _view.job_chains         = 'list';

Checkboxes, Radios

...

and Selectboxes

You can specify which checkboxes are on checked (true) or off unchecked (false).

 _checkbox_states.show_tasks_checkbox            = true;
 _checkbox_states.show_job_chain_orders_checkbox = true;
 _checkbox_states.show_job_chain_jobs_checkbox   = false;
 _checkbox_states.show_order_history_checkbox    = false;
 _checkbox_states.show_task_error_checkbox       = false;
 _checkbox_states.show_error_checkbox            = false;

You can specify the value of some radiosradio buttons.

The possible values for last_activities_radios are 'all', 'orders' and 'tasks'.

 _radio_states.last_activities_radios = 'all';

You can specify the value values of some selectboxes.

The possible values for show_jobs_select are 'all', 'standalone' and 'order'.

The possible values for jobs_state_select are 'all', 'running', 'stopped', 'running_or_stopped' and 'other'.

 _select_states.show_jobs_select      = 'all';
 _select_states.jobs_state_select     = 'all';

Number

...

of Displayed Orders

...

or Tasks

...

You can set how much orders are shown in the limit the number of orders that are displayed for job chains if the checkbox show orders is checked.

Code Block
_max_orders = 10;

You can set how much limit the number of orders and tasks that are shown displayed in the last activities tab.

Code Block
_max_last_activities = 30;

Number

...

of History Entries

Per default the last 50 entries are shown displayed from the orders order history and the last 10 entries from the tasks task history respectively.

 _max_order_history       = 50;
 _max_task_history        = 10;

Timeout

...

for Terminate

In the top menu you find a terminte an item terminated with timeout. Here you set the timeout in seconds.

 _terminate_timeout       = 60;

Default

...

for 'Start at'

In start task/order at dialogs are set  dialogs the start time equals can be set to equal now per default. You can omit this.

 _start_at_default_is_now = true;

Start Task Unforced Now

Enables the additional job menu item Start task unforced now.

 _start_next_period_enabled  = false;

Debug Level

Possible values are 0-9.

A new window will be open to write the debug information. A popup pop-up blocker should allow this.

 _debug_level             = 0;

Additional URLs In

...

Extras

...

Menu

You can add arbitrary URLs to the popup pop-up menu of the extras Extras button on the top in the form:

 _extra_urls[ 'display name' ] = 'url';

...

For an example see below.

Aliases

You can set an URL mapping for the remote schedulers JobSchedulers if ie.eg. an Apache proxy configuration is used.

For more information about proxy configuration see 'Running the Operations GUI behind How to operate JOC with an Apache Proxy'.

Set an alias in the formlike this:

 _url_aliase[ 'remote_host:remote_port' ] = 'url';

Timezones

JOC display all timestamps in the local time of that host where you open the browser.

Since JobScheduler Release 1.8 a selectbox can used to switch between different timezones.

You can add timezones in the form:

_timezones[ 'display name' ] = 'timezone';

See here the supported time zones in JOC.

Example:

_timezones[ 'my company in Berlin' ] = 'Europe/Berlin';

With the variable _timezone_preselected you can set the time zone which is used when JOC starts.

Here you can use one of the keys from the above specified time zones. Further there are the keys 'local' for the local time of the browser and 'JobScheduler' for the time zone in which the JobScheduler works.

_timezone_preselected = 'my company in Berlin';

Hide some function or force a confirm

This feature is available since JobScheduler Release 1.8

In JOC you see functions e.g for start a job or an order etc. (see JOC - Basic Functions List).

Some of these function can be hidden or you can force a confirm before the execution.

Filters

For more information see 'How can I to store filters persistent which are persistently that would not disappear after cleanup of cookies?'.

You can set filters for jobs, job chains and order in the formorders like this:

 _job_filter[ 'filter name' ]       = 'regular expression';
 _job_chain_filter[ 'filter name' ] = 'regular expression';
 _order_filter[ 'filter name' ]     = 'regular expression';

or use

 _project_filter[ 'filter name' ]   = 'regular expression';

...

A selectbox will be displayed with the filter names.
To set specify which selectbox option is selected you can use

 _active_job_filter                 = 'name of the filter';
 _active_job_chain_filter           = 'name of the filter';
 _active_order_filter               = 'name of the filter';

or

 _active_project_filter             = 'name of the filter';

User-defined Configuration via my_custom.js

While the configuration file custom.js (see above) for the operationsGui JOC is always readprocessed,
you  you can create an additional own configuration file, i.e. my_custom.js, to overwrite the settings in from custom.js.

The file my_custom.js is read processed when you type the URL:

 http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html#my_custom 

The name of the user-defined configuration file my_custom.js must is arbitrary and has to be stored in the same directory like as custom.js.

• Sample

<p style="border-left:2px solid SteelBlue;padding-left:8px;">

.
You can add multiple files as given in the following example 1.

Example 1

The language of JOC is per default English, however, some users want JOC in, for example, Russian or in French.
Create the file ru.js with the content:

 _sos_lang  = 'ru';

and create the file fr.js with the content:

 _sos_lang = 'fr';

After this JOC will display text in Russian if you type:

 http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html#ru

or:

 http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/#ru) 

and in French if you type:

 http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html#fr

or:

 http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/#fr. 

You can extend the example by using _extra_urls (see Example 2 below).

Example 2

After completing Example 1 above, add the following to the custom.js file:

 _extra_urls['english']  = 'http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html';
 _extra_urls['russian']  = 'http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html#ru';
 _extra_urls['french']   = 'http

 The language of the operationsGui is english, but some users want the operationsGui in russian.
 <br/>Create the file 'russian.js' with the content
 <br/><tt>_sos_lang         = 'ru';</tt>
 <br/>and type 
 <br/><tt>http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html#russian</tt>
html#fr';

If you now call JOC, you will find links for selecting the language in the right top Extras menu.</p>
