Introduction

• The JS7 offers to perform any operation operations on orders, workflows, jobs and related objects by the JS7 - REST Web Service API.
  
  • Note that any operation available with the JOC Cockpit GUI makes use of the REST Web Service API.
  • For detailed information see the Technical Documentation of the REST Web Service API.
• The REST Web Service API can be accessed from Shell utilities such as curl.
• In addition, a PowerShell module is available for simplified access to the REST Web Service API. This is described in the JS7 - PowerShell Module article.

The Check License Script introduced in this article can be used to check if a JS7 - License is valid or is about to expire.

An implementation of license checks for use with alert workflows is available from the JS7 - JITL CheckLicenseJob.

License Check Script

The License Check Script is provided for download and can be used to automate checks for license expiration.

...

The Check License Script requires the jq utility to be available from the operating system. 

jq is ships with the MIT license, see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
