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 JobScheduler 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
The default location for your SCHEDULER_DATA directory for Unix is:
/home/[scheduler_user]/sos-berlin.com/jobscheduler
See the section describing the individual setup forms in the JobScheduler Installation manual for the default settings.
The port is listed in the config tag:
<config mail_xslt_stylesheet="config/scheduler_mail.xsl" <span style="color:red">port="4444"</span>>
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.
Ensure that the firewall allows the communication with the JobScheduler port in both directions.
