We assume that we have a crontab with the following content
*/30 * * * * /path_to_file/file.sh >> /path_to_file/file.log 2>&1
We assume that this file is stored in /tmp/my_crontab.
The Migration has two steps:
1. Calling ./bin/cronconverter.sh
In the first step you call ./bin/cronconverter.sh.
This create one xml file with all jobs.
This script has the following usage:
usage: cronconverter [-changeuser <command>] [-createJobChains
<true|false>] [-createMock <true|false>] -crontab <file> [-systab <0|1>]
-target <file> [-v <level>]
-changeuser <command> change user command for -systab=1. 'su'
or 'sudo' or define your own command using $SCHEDULER_CRONTAB_USER.
-createJobChains <true|false> set to true if you want to create
jobChains and jobs
-createMock <true|false> set to true if script has to be mok'ed
-crontab <file> crontab file
-systab <0|1> set to 1 if source is the system crontab
(with user field)
-target <file> xml configuration file
-v <level> loglevel [0=info] [1=debug1]...[9=debug]
You can create Standalone-Jobs or Order-Jobs inclusive a Job Chain and an Order for each cron job.
Please create a target folder for the conversion (e.g. ./cron) and call the converter.
1. Standalone-Jobs
./bin/cronconverter.sh -crontab /tmp/my_crontab -target cron/cronconvert_result.xml
2. Order-Jobs with Job Chain and Order (recommended)
./bin/cronconverter.sh -crontab /tmp/my_crontab -createJobChains true -target cron/cronconvert_result.xml
This create the file cron/cronconvert_result.xml which contains all Jobs, Job Chains and Orders for further transformation (see step 2).
2. Calling ./config/xml2live.xsl
java -jar lib/saxon9he.jar -s:"cron/cronconvert_result.xml" -xsl:"config/xml2live.xsl" sos.destination="cron/live"
This call create a directory ./cron/live/GlobalCollect/ which contains the JobScheduler objects (Jobs, Job Chains, Orders).
The folder has subdirectories corresponding to the paths of the cron jobs.
In our example you get
- ./cron/live/GlobalCollect/path_to_file/file.sh.job.xml
- ./cron/live/GlobalCollect/path_to_file/file.sh.job_chain.xml
- ./cron/live/GlobalCollect/path_to_file/file.sh,file_sh.order.xml
with the following content:
./cron/live/GlobalCollect/path_to_file/file.sh.job.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<job order="yes" timeout="600"
title="Cron Job /path_to_file/file.sh &gt;&gt; /path_to_file/file.log 2&gt;&amp;1">

Now you can copy the folder content of ./cron/live/GlobalCollect/* to ./config/live/.
Open JOC and you see the new objects.
