This documentation is based on JobScheduler Master Version 1.11.0.
Overview
The following steps are required when making a new installation of the JobScheduler, in the order listed below:
Database Configuration
- The JobScheduler Master requires use of at least one database. The JobScheduler Master uses the database to archive logs and to remember Job and Order states.
- (A JobScheduler Agent doesn't require a database: it doesn't have its own Jobs or Orders and logging is carried out the JobScheduler Master which calls the Agent.)
- Several JobScheduler Masters installed on different hosts can share a central database.
- The JobScheduler Masters are operated by Web Services that record reporting information about the Jobs and Orders run and changes made by operating staff.
- The reporting information can be stored in the same database as used by the JobScheduler Master(s) or in a separate Reporting database.
- A Reporting database can be run on a different database management systems (DBMSs) to that used by the JobScheduler Masters.
- See the JOC Cockpit - Architecture article for further information and the Database Configuration article for more detailed information.
- The supported DBMSs are listed in the Which Database Management Systems are supported by JobScheduler? article.
Database Drivers
- Because of licensing restrictions when used with MySql®, Sybase or Microsoft® SQL Server databases, a JDBC® driver appropriate to the database version being used must be provided by end users themselves. Alternatively, a jTDS JDBC® driver, which is delivered with the JobScheduler setup, can be used for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. Also delivered with the JobScheduler setup is the MariaDB® driver, which can be used for MySql Server and MariaDB databases as well as.drivers for Oracle® Database and PostgreSQL.
