Introduction
This tutorial will show how to take one of the JobScheduler's JITL (JobScheduler Template Library) Jobs and configure it for your environment.
The JITL Jobs are intended to be easy to configure and help users get started with the most common job scheduling tasks.
Using JITL jobs
The JITL jobs are installed in the live/sos folder. They are grouped together in a number of sub-folders and can be most easily seen in the JOC Jobs tab as shown in the screen-shot below:
Please note:
- The exact list of jobs that you will see will depend on the packages that you selected during installation of your JobScheduler:
- dailyschedule - is always installed
- events - only installed if the "Configure JobScheduler as event handler" option was selected during installation
- housekeeping - only installed if the Housekeeping Jobs package was selected
- jitl - always installed
- notification - always installed
- update - installed by the Update Service package
- Some of the jobs come with orders as can be seen from the green-colored text in the above screen-shot:
- Some of these orders are active - a Next Start time is listed
- Other orders - such as CheckHistory - have the state pending - i.e they will only run when required.
- Comparing the list of jobs shown above with the full list of JITL jobs will quickly show that many jobs are missing from the above list.
This is because the remaining JITL jobs are available by way of a wizard that is integrated in JOE and that will be described in a later tutorial.
Probably the most important JITL job is the scheduler_cleanup_files job that automatically removes temporary files e.g. for output to stdout or stderr.
