  • the binaries.

Prerequisites

In order to be able to download the binaries and to integrate them in your application, you need to have Maven installed.

Maven

  • You can find Check the Maven documentation hereDocumentation.
  • SOS uses Maven 3.2.1. You can download Download the latest Release from here.Maven release
  • Maven's /bin folder has to be added to the global variable "PATH" in order to take effect.
  • No further configuration is required for Maven in order to compile. If further configuration is wanted, for example to receive certain 3rd Party libraries from an official Maven2 repository, e.g. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, then you have to configure the settings.xml file.

...

  • jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.jar

  • jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.pom

The version number 1.9.6 from this sample is based on the semantic versioning scheme. This sample version number is used for the examples in this article.

The structure of the Binaries

The jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.jar file is a bundle jar with all binaries as well as the JobScheduler engine java Java library included.

To integrate it in the library into your own maven project or to download it via maven, add the following configuration to the pom.xml file of your project.

The structure of the jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.jar file looks like this:

Setting up a JobScheduler with the

...

Binaries

Required configuration files

  • sos.ini
  • factory.ini
  • scheduler.xml

Configuration

Step 1

To get a minimal JobScheduler up and running, create a folder, e.g. "myJobScheduler" , and copy the binaries according to your operating system as well as the java Java library to this folder.

Step 2

Add the 3rd Party libraries which are configured in the jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.pom file to a folder as well as the JDBC database driver you use. You can If you copy the 3rd party libraries to a different folder as well, as long as you make sure then you have to configure the path in the factory.ini file

Step 3

Create a sos.ini file and copy your licence license key to the file. This is a technical license key that ships with the Open Source License and with the Commercial License of the software. The file should look like this:

Create a factory.ini file with e.g. the following configuration:

Create a file scheduler.xml and configure the port your scheduler JobScheduler should run withlisten to:

<spooler>
		<config port="4444">

				<security ignore_unknown_hosts="yes">
						<allowed_host host="localhost" level="all"/>
				</security>
				<plugins>
						<plugin java_class="com.sos.scheduler.engine.plugins.webservice.WebServicePlugin"/>
						<plugin java_class="com.sos.scheduler.engine.plugins.nodeorder.NodeOrderPlugin"/>
				</plugins>
		</config>
</spooler>

At last, Finally create a start script like this:

...

Now your folder should contain at least these files (windows-x64 - example, other platforms differ):

  • factory.ini
  • jobscheduler-engine.dll
  • log4j.properties(optional)
  • scheduler.exe
  • scheduler.xml
  • sos.ini
  • start.cmd

Testing the

...

JobScheduler

  1. Create a folder named "with the name live" in your working directory (your folder). Create a simple hello-world- job in the live- folder.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    titlehello world job example
    collapsetrue
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <job >
        <script  language="shell">
            <![CDATA[echo Hello World!]]>
        </script>
        <run_time  once="yes"/>
    </job>
  2. Open a console in your working directory and start the scheduler JobScheduler with the start.cmd start script.
    If you have configured logging (log4j.properties and path to the properties file in factory.ini) then you should see a task log and job and a task log for the hello-world-job, which should look sample job like this:
