Process Classes for use with JobScheduler Agents

We assume that we have a job in a job chain

...

to be executed on a JobScheduler Agent.
This requires a process_class that is assigned to the job.
Please read

...

How to configure a JobScheduler Master and Agent to work together to know how you create the process class for a JobScheduler Agent and how you assign it to a job.

Process Class configuration

Now we assume that we have use multiple JobScheduler Agents and we want that a job executes the job to be executed on different JobScheduler Agents depending on parameters.

...

Create

...

a

...

process

...

class

...

(e.g.

...

with

...

the

...

name

...

_agents_)

...

in

...

JOE

...

with

...

empty

...

values

...

for

...

host

...

and

...

port

...

.

...

The

...

values

...

for

...

host

...

and

...

port

...

are

...

set

...

dynamically.

...

This should result in the following configuration file ./config/live/agents.process_class.xml

...

:

...

Code Block
language html/xml

...

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

...

<process_class max_processes="30"/>

Assign the process class to the

order

job in JOE. In this example the job

is named shell_on_dynamic_agent

has the name shellOnDynamicAgent and calls hostname as a shell command.

noformat

So

you

get

should see the

following

content in the configuration

file

_

./config/live/

shell_on_dynamic_agent

shellOnDynamicAgent.job.xml

_

:

Code Block

language	html/xml


 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 
 <job process_class="agents" order="yes" stop_on_error="no">
     <script language="shell">
         <![CDATA[
 #! /bin/sh
 # returns the hostname of the agent
 hostname
         ]]>
     </script>
     <run_time/>
 </job>

Job configuration

Extends

Create the following job

with a preprocessing.

No Format


 The [JobScheduler API|http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/api/api.xml] is used to set the _remote_scheduler_ attribute of the process class to provide that the job is executed on a JobScheduler Agent.
 The preprocessing script requires the two order parameters _agent_host_ and _agent_port_.
 Here the preprocessing is implemented in javascript and has the following code:

Code Block

language	javascript


 function spooler_task_before()\{
	var agentHost = spooler_task.order.params.value('agent_host');
	var agentPort = spooler_task.order.params.value('agent_port');
	spooler_log.info("The agent " + agentHost + ":" + agentPort + " will be used.");
	spooler_job.process_class.remote_scheduler = agentHost+":"+agentPort;
 \}

No Format
After you have added the postprocessing you get the following configuration file _./config/live/shell_on_dynamic_agent.job.xml_:

, e.g. setAgent, and add it to the job chain as the forerunner of the JobScheduler Agent job.

This job modifies the process_class setting of the successor job in the job chain according to the order parameters agent_host_ and _agent_port:

        			return true;
		}
    ]]>

Job chain configuration

Add these jobs to

Put the job into

a job chain

(

, e.g.

job_chain_with_agent_job). No Format So you have the configuration file _

jobChainWithAgentJob:

Image Added

This will result in the job chain configuration file ./config/live/

job_chain_with_agent_job

jobChainWithAgentJob.job_chain.xml

_

:

Code Block

language	html/xml


 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 
 <job_chain  orders_recoverable="yes" visible="yes">
    <job_chain_node  state="100setAgent" job="shell_on_dynamic_agent"setAgent" next_state="callAgent" error_state="error"/>
    <job_chain_node  state="callAgent" job="shellOnDynamicAgent" next_state="success" error_state="error"/>
    <job_chain_node  state="success"/>
    <job_chain_node  state="error"/>
 </job_chain>

Order configuration

Add an order to the job chain

job_chain_with_agent_job

jobChainWithAgentJob for each JobScheduler Agent

you want

.

noformat

For

example

one agent is on HostA with port 4444 and another agent is on HostB with port 4444. The orders must have the parameter _

, one JobScheduler Agent runs on HostA with port 4444 and another JobScheduler Agent runs on HostB with port 4444. The order has to be assigned the parameters agent_host_

and

_agent_port

_. So you have the configuration files _

.

Image Added

This should result in the order configuration files ./config/live/

job_chain_with_agent_job

jobChainWithAgentJob,hostA-4444.order.xml

_

and

_

./config/live/

job_chain_with_agent_job
