Downloads

Instructions

  • Download the JMX Remote Reference Implementation and the JMX Implementation from http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/mntr-mgmt/javamanagement/download.jsp
  • Unzip all files from jmx.zip into the ./config/live folder of your JobScheduler.
  • Put sos.jmx.jar into the lib directory the JobScheduler.
  • Create a directory for the MBean server somewhere on your system and unzip jmx_server.zip into that directory.
  • Put jmxremote.jar, jmxremote_optional.jar, jmxri.jar (from the Sun downloads) and sos.howto.jar into that directory.
  • Open a shell and start the jmx server with server.sh or server.cmd
  • Open the config/factory.ini file of your job Scheduler and add the lib directories of the two Sun jmx downloads to the classpath. (E.g. add ":/home/test/jmx-1_2_1-bin/lib/*.jar:/home/test/jmx/jmxremote-1_0_1-bin/lib/*.jar" with ";" instead of ":" on Windows to the existing classpath)
  • Start the JobScheduler
  • Open the web interface of the JobScheduler in your browser using http://scheduler_host:scheduler_port

Asynchronous execution

The JobSchedulerJMXManager Job can run launch and check MBeans for ansynchronous execution.

...

The job will now cancel the Execution of the MBean. This might take a moment.

Synchronous execution with a standalone job

The JobSchedulerJMXManager Job can run execute Methods synchronously in an MBean.

...

The job will now execute an MBean function called "execute" and pass it's parameters to that function. Watch the output of the server console. You should be able to find your parameters there. Once the method has been exectued, the job will not be running anymore.

Synchronous execution in a job chain

The JobSchedulerJMXManager Job can be used as part of a job chain to execute Methods synchronously in an MBean as a step of a job chain.

...

The job Scheduler will now first execute a simple shell job and then execute the "execute" function of the MBean. Open the order history and see the log of the order to confirm.

How it works

The JobSchedulerJMXManager job can be configured to perform different actions. The following actions are available:

...

Have a look at the job definitions. The jobs are configured with <delay_after_error> elements. This causes the job to repeat in case of an error. For synchronous execution this means, that the function will be executed again. With the launch,check,cancel configuration of the asynchronous job, this will result in a re-launch of the job if an error occurs during one of the periodic check actions.

Next steps

  • Move the MBean server to another machine. Adjust the config/live/samples/jmx/JMXMP.connector.params.xml file to point to that other machine.
  • Start modifying the code of SOSSample.java to implement some real-life functions.
  • Take an existing java class and make it accessible as an MBean by creating an MBean interface for this class and adjusting the name of the execute method (or others) and the name of the State attribute by job configuration.
