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.

    --cacert=/home/sos/jstest/certs/root-ca.pem \
    --user=root \
    --validity-days=60 \
    -p
