Introduction

The JS7 Product Knowledge Base includes a larger set of examples that are explained with the respective articles and JS7 - How To sections.

Examples are offered for download in the following formats:

As .json files for upload to individual scheduling objects such as workflows and calendars that are managed from JOC Cockpit's Configuration view.
As .zip archives for import from JOC Cockpit's Configuration view.

Handling of .json Files

Assume the following .json sample file of a Job Resource for download: Global-Variables.jobresource.json

The file implements a number of global environment variables that can be assigned to workflows and jobs, for details see JS7 - Job Resources.
File names indicate the object type: .jobresource.json, .workflow.json, .calendar.json, .schedule.json etc.
Files include the JSON representation of scheduling objects which is the storage format of objects in JS7.

The proceeding for upload of any object types is the same.

To upload a file navigate to the Configuration view and create an object of the corresponding type:

In the left panel select a folder from the tree and use the action menu of the sub-folder that indicates the object type Job Resources.

In a next step a popup window appears that asks for the object name like this:

Enter an object name at your will (within the scope of JS7 - Object Naming Rules).
Apart from use of spaces most Unicode characters can be used.

You now should find an empty object with the name specified.

Having clicked the upload icon a popup window invites to select the file for upload:

You can select a file from the Choose Files for Upload button and you can drag & drop files.
With the file being selected the screen looks like this:

When clicking the Upload button the object on your screen is replaced by the contents of the uploaded file.

As an alternative you can copy & paste the contents of a downloaded file like this.

Create a new corresponding object as explained with Step 1 of the previous chapter.
Use the object's the action menu and select the Edit JSON action like this:

Subsequently a popup window is displayed for the JSON representation of the empty object like this:

Paste into this window the contents of the download file like this:

After clicking the Submit button you should find the object being updated and visible as explained with Step 3 of the previous chapter.
