FEATURE AVAILABILITY STARTING FROM RELEASE 1.13.0
Scope
The Starter means to start a JobStream. The Starter starts the JobStreams on the basis of run-time provided to it (the starter can be started manually also using Start Now). The Starter brings the new object for the JobStreams called Session. Session refers to the one complete run of JobStreams. Whenever the Starter is started it creates a session. The events are now created on the session basis. The event created with the Session A does not have access to Session B, the two session are independent even if they are of the same jobStreams.
The Starter adds some new features to the JobStreams:
- Earlier there was no option for the run-time of JobStreams. We need to specify the run-time to the first job of the JobStream and then other jobs in the JobStreams start accordingly. But now we have a run-time for the Starter and this Starter now starts the JobStream.
- There were no parameters available for the JobStream, i.e. there is no option for parameters which can be passed to the JobStreams. With the feature of starter the parameters can be added to the Starter which will be accessible throughout the JobStreams for which the starter is created.
- No history for the JobStreams were added. With the release 1.13.4 we have the history JobStreams in the form of Session. This includes the information that when the JobStreams was started, what was its Session ID, and whether it is currently running or not.
