Use the attribute configuration_directory in ./config/scheduler.xml

 <spooler>
   
   <config mail_xslt_stylesheet="config/scheduler_mail.xsl" 
           port="4444"
           configuration_directory="/path/to/another/live/folder"
   >
   ...
   </config>
 </spooler>

By setting the attribute @configuration configuration_directory of the config element you can specify a folder for the configuration of the jobs, job definitionschains, orders, schedules , run-times et ceteraetc.. The default setting is the live directory, which itself is to be found in the same directory as the configuration file ./config/scheduler.xml.

Alternative II: use JobScheduler command options

You can specify the location of the job scheduler configuration with two different commandline options:

 *[-config|http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/command_line.xml#option_config] (location of {*}scheduler.xml{*} or the configuration folder)

• -configuration-directory (location of the job definitions, schedules, run-times et cetera)

To change the location of the scheduler configuration directory (default is config under the installation directory), you have to specify the name of the configuration folder as argument for the -config option. It is necessary that a file named scheduler.xml exists in this folder.

See also here for further information.

Alternatively you can use the command line option -configuration-directory.

 > ./bin/jobscheduler.sh start -configuration-directory="/path/to/another/live/folder" 

Usage with multiple live folders

It is not possible to configure multiple live folders but you can use symlinks in the live folder so that a subfolder of live pointed to another.

For example, if you have job configurations in /mnt/other_host/live/ then you can add it to the live folder like this:

  > cd ./config/live
  > ln -s /mnt/other_host/live/ live_on_other_host

In this case you have a subfolder live_on_other_host in live that contains all objects from /mnt/other_host/live/.
