Question:
I’ve successfully installed Job Scheduler onto my PC but I’m having trouble opening JOC.
I think when I installed it, I entered an incorrect Job Scheduler Host and Port number.
Answer:
You can check the JobScheudler host and port in the scheduler.xml file.
You will find this file in the following directory:
[your so-called SCHEDULER_DATA directory]\config\
The default location for your SCHEDULER_DATA directory for Windows Vista/2008/7 is:
C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\jobscheduler
See the section describing the individual setup forms in the JobScheduler Installation manual for the default settings for other operating systems.
The port is listed in the config tag:
<config mail_xslt_stylesheet="config/scheduler_mail.xsl" port="4444">
The host will be listed in the security section which should look something like:
<security ignore_unknown_hosts="yes">
<allowed_host host="localhost" level="all"/>
<allowed_host host="My-PC" level="all"/>
<allowed_host host="192.11.0.27" level="all"/>
</security>
Note that checks are made during the installation process to ensure that the host and port you specify can be used, so this is actually an unlikely source of error.
You may be having a firewall problem. Ensure that the Windows firewall is open in both directions for the host and port you have set for your JobScheduler.
