Introduction

The feature Job Stream is a means to implement dependencies with jobs. This feature improves existing forward dependencies (job chains) by introducing backward dependencies (conditions).

The current article is intended to function as a guide to the Job Streams functionality which provides an example of how the different features of Job Streams can be used.

Steps to configure the attached example

Please follow the below steps to set-up the sample example in your environment: 

  • Login to the JOC Cockpit, switch to the Job Streams tab.
  • Click on Import Job Stream.
    • Note: Before you import the Job Stream unzip the attached job configuration to the live folder.

  • This opens a browser-based file import procedure which allows file selection. Import the attached JSON file. An Import Job Stream modal window opens as shown in the screenshot below:

  • Select all the jobs from the Import Job Stream modal window and click import. Refer to the article on How to import and Job Streams for details.

  • Select the folder jobstream from the left tree structure. The graph for the Job Stream jobstream1 opens as shown in the screenshot below:

  • Click on Expand Details button to display the In Condition and Out Condition for the job.
    • Note: Click on the Collapse Details button to collapse the In Conditions and the Out Conditions for the job.

  • The expanded Job Stream diagram opens as shown in the screenshot below:

  • To start the execution of Job Stream click on the action menu of job1 and select Start Task Now. 


  • The state of the job1 changes from Pending to Running. To monitor the status of job stream refer to the Use Case 4 of the article Job Streams for reference.


Note: Once the Job Stream is run the In Conditions will be consumed and the events will be created by Out Conditions. So to re-run the Job Stream you need to first Reset the Job Stream using the Reset button and again use action menu of job chain and select Start Task Now
