This document explains

how to download the JobScheduler engine binaries from Maven Central,
the structure of the binaries,
how to setup a minimal JobScheduler with the binaries.

Prerequisites

Starting with release 1.9.6 JobScheduler artifacts are available from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sos-berlin/jobscheduler.engine.
In order to download the binaries and to integrate them in your application it is required that you have Maven installed.

Maven

Check the Maven Documentation.
SOS uses Maven 3.2.1. Download the latest Maven release
Maven's /bin folder has to be added to the global variable "PATH" in order to take effect.
No further Further configuration is not required for Maven in order to compile.
For individual configuration, for example to receive certain 3rd Party libraries from a Maven2 repository, e.g. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, you have to configure the settings.xml file.repository other than http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, you have to configure the settings.xml file.

The Binaries 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 library included.

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 home folder, e.g. myJobScheduler, and copy the binaries according to your operating system and the Java library to systemto this folder.

Step 2

Add the following files to a folder:

3rd Party libraries that are configured in the Party libraries that are configured in the jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.pom file.
the Java library com.sos-berlin.jobscheduler.engine-1.9.6.pom file.jar from the bundle
the JDBC database driver you want to use.

If you copy the 3rd party libraries to a different folder then you have to add this folder to the class_path setting in the [java] section of the factory.ini file.

Noteinfo

For this example, we created a libs folder in the home folder and copied the 3rd party libraries and the jdbc driver to this folder. Therefore we can use a relative path in the factory.ini.

We set the class path in the factory.ini like this:

[java]
class_path = libs/*.jar;

Otherwise an absolute path to the folder where the 3rd party libraries are copied to has to be configured.

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

...

set exepath=%~dp0

Testing the JobScheduler

Create a folder with the name live in your home folder. Create a simple job in the live folder like this:

Code Block

language	xml
title	hello world job example
collapse	true

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<job>
    <script  language="shell">
        <![CDATA[echo Hello World!]]>
    </script>
    <run_time  once="yes"/>
</job>

Open a console in your home folder and start the JobScheduler with the start.cmd start script.
If you have configured logging (log4j.properties and path to the properties file in the factory.ini file) then you should see a task log and job log for the sample job like this:
