It is required that the JobScheduler is allocated a database and/or database schema and a database user except the JobScheduler is running as an agent. Instructions for the creation of the database itself are to be taken from the database documentation. MySql® (5.x ++), Oracle® Database (8.1.x, 9.2, 10g, 11g), Microsoft® SQL Server (2000, 2005, 2012), PostgreSQL (8.x, 9.x), IBM® DB2 (8.x ++) und SybaseASE 15.0. are supported. The JobScheduler setup program creates the necessary database tables if the Database Support package is installed and the database connection is specified in the appropriate setup form. 

The setup also requires sufficient database permissions for CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TRIGGER, INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE and SELECT statements.

The database configuration information is saved in the following configuration files:

  • $SCHEDULER_DATA/config/factory.ini (used by JobScheduler) 
  • $SCHEDULER_DATA/config/hibernate.cfg.xml (used by JID) 
  • $SCHEDULER_DATA/config/sos_settings.ini (used by scheduler_install_tables.(sh|cmd))

3.1 MySql®

Because of licensing restrictions a MySql® JDBC® Driver is not provided. Please download a MySql® JDBC® driver before you start the JobScheduler installer. Alternatively, the MariaDB® JDBC® driver, delivered with the JobScheduler setup, can be used for MySql®

3.2 Microsoft® SQL Server and Sybase

Because of licensing restrictions when used with Sybase or Microsoft® SQL Server databases, a JDBC® driver appropriate to the database version used must be provided by the end user themselves. Alternatively, a jTDS JDBC® driver, delivered with the JobScheduler setup, can be used for Microsoft® SQL Server and Sybase databases. Otherwise please download a Microsoft® SQL Server or Sybase JDBC® driver before you start the JobScheduler installer.

If you want to use a Windows domain user instead of an sql user for the Microsoft® SQL Server connection then please read the How to connect to an SQL Server with a domain account article for more details.

3.3 PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL requires PL/pgSQL. Check the languages that are available for your database by using

createlang -U postgres -l scheduler

where "postgres" is the user name and "scheduler" is the database name. "createlang" is available from the PostgreSQL bin directory. Should "plpgsql" not be listed in the output of this command then please enable this language by

createlang -U postgres plpgsql scheduler

The following two PostgreSQL server variables must have the following values:

  • standard_conforming_strings = off
  •  bytea_output = 'escape'

For all those that do not want to change this globally, this setting can be changed on a per user level:

Example: Set standard_conforming_strings and bytea_output per user leve
alter user scheduler set standard_conforming_strings = off; 
alter user scheduler set bytea_output = 'escape';

where "scheduler" is the user name of the JobScheduler database.

3.4 Manual Creation of Database Tables

SQL scripts which create the database tables required by the JobScheduler are available, should they not have been correctly created by the setup program. These scripts can be run using $SCHEDULER_HOME /install/scheduler_install_tables.(sh|cmd).

Ensure that the database connection is correctly entered in the $SCHEDULER_DATA/config/sos_settings.ini configuration file.
