Requirements

JobScheduler Engine

Before starting the tutorials it is assumed that:

• You have a JobScheduler installed  FEATURE AVAILABILITY STARTING FROM RELEASE 1.7
  See our JobScheduler Installation Guide for more information.
  We recommend that when installing the JobScheduler, you install the "housekeeping" package as part of this will be used in at least one of the later tutorials.
• JobScheduler has been started as a service.
• You have downloaded and unpacked the tutorial files and copied them to your live folder. The below myJobSchedulerID is the identification of the JobScheduler instance that you specify during installation.
  • Windows
    • If JobScheduler was installed using the default paths then its installation directory could be:
      • C:\Program Files\sos-berlin.com\jobscheduler\myJobSchedulerID
    • Accordingly the data directory could be
      
      • C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\jobscheduler\myJobSchedulerID
    • Copy the tutorial files to your live folder, e.g.
      
      • C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\jobscheduler\myJobSchedulerID\config\live
  • Unix
    • If JobScheduler was installed for Unix then its installation directory could be e.g. the home directory for the current user

      • ~/sos-berlin.com/jobscheduler/myJobSchedulerID

    • Copy the tutorial files to your live folder
      • ~/sos-berlin.com/jobscheduler/myJobSchedulerID/config/live

Using the tutorials with the JOC and JOE interfaces

Whilst it is possible to operate JobScheduler completely from the command line / in batch, these tutorials rely extensively on the JobScheduler's graphic interfaces JOC and JOE.

• JOC (the JobScheduler Operations Center) runs in a web browser and is served by the JobScheduler's web server via HTTP.
• JOE (the JobScheduler Object Editor) is a separate application to JobScheduler (i.e. it can be used when JobScheduler is not running).
  
  • JOE is installed in the same directory alongside the JobScheduler:
    • on Windows systems the default installation directory would likely be:
      • C:\Program Files\sos-berlin.com\jobscheduler
    • on Unix systems this would be:
      
      • ./opt/sos-berlin.com/jobscheduler
  • JOE can be started on Windows from the Start Menu using:
    • Start / All Programs / SOS JobScheduler / [scheduler_id] / JOE (JobScheduler Object Editor)
  • JOE can also be started from the bin sub-directory of the JobScheduler installation directory by entering one of the commands:
    • jobeditor.cmd on Windows systems or
    • jobeditor.sh on Unix systems
