• A workflow includes any number of instructions of JS7 - Job Instruction to execute jobs and to implement dependencies such as to fork and to join processing, to acquire a resource lock etc.
• Job implementations come in the following flavors:
  • Shell jobs Jobs are executed with the operating system shell, e.g. the Windows Shell and or one of the Unix Shells such as /bin/sh, /bin/bash bash etc.
    • Shell jobs include to call any shell commands, scripts and executable files.
    • Such jobs behave similarly as individual commands being executed in the command line of the operating system.
    • Shell jobs include to use scripting languages such as Perl, Ruby, Python, PowerShell etc. for which an interpreter is installed with the OS that can be executed from the command line.
  • JVM Jobs API jobs are implemented in a number of supported languages that can be operated for which JS7 exposes an API to access a Java Virtual Machine and for which the Agent exposes JS7 - Order Variables and job node arguments. Languages include
    • Java: such jobs are executed in the JVM provided by the Agent.
    • JavaScript, Ruby, Python etc.: such jobs require use of a GraalVM® Java Virtual Machine that provides the compiler for the respective scripting language.
