Ad-Hoc Changes to Job Chains
Question:
Can ad-hoc changes be set for established job chains?
Answer:
Jobs that are not part of a job chain can be added and removed ad hoc; a job that is currently running will be unchanged until the end of its processing.
Jobs within a job chain can be changed without restarting the JobScheduler. You can change any part of an order at any time without restarting JobScheduler. Supposing you have a job chain that processes database statements that are part of the payload parameters of an order; then you can change the contents of these sql statements ad hoc.
The possibility to apply changes without having to restart JobScheduler is also provided by the JobScheduler Operations Center JOC. Changes made directly to the scheduler.xml configuration file require JobScheduler to be restarted.
