JobScheduler Operations Center

The JobScheduler Operations Center (JOC) is used to monitor and control the jobs, job chains and orders.
You open JOC in a browser with the URL:

...

where scheduler_host and scheduler_port are the hostname and the TCP port number of the JobScheduler.

Configuration via custom.js

The configuration file custom.js for JOC is stored in the ./config/operations_gui directory.

...

The custom.js of version 1.3.9 contains the following variables:

Cookie

...

Behavior

Possible values are true and false.

...

 _disable_cookie_settings = false;

Language

Set the interface language.
A language file scheduler_lang_sos_lang.js_ (i.e. scheduler_lang_ru.js for Russian) must exist.

...

If this value is empty then no language files are included and English is used.

At this time the time of writing (December 2014) 'de' (German), 'fr' (French) and 'ru' (Russian) are supported.

...

If you want a user-defined language setting then check the example below.

Automatically Refresh

Possible values are true and false.
If true then the periodical page refresh is active.

...

 _update_seconds          = 5;

Views

You can switch between the tabs 'jobs', 'job_chains', 'process_classes' and 'last_activities' as the starting view.

...

 _view.jobs               = 'list';
 _view.job_chains         = 'list';

Checkboxes, Radios and Selectboxes

You can specify which checkboxes are checked (true) or unchecked (false).

...

 _select_states.show_jobs_select      = 'all';
 _select_states.jobs_state_select     = 'all';

Number of Displayed Orders or Tasks

You can limit the number of orders that are displayed for job chains if the checkbox show orders is checked.

...

 _max_last_activities     = 30;

Number of History Entries

Per default the last 50 entries are displayed from the order history and the last 10 entries from the task history respectively.

 _max_order_history       = 50;
 _max_task_history        = 10;

Timeout for Terminate

In the top menu you find an item terminte terminated with timeout. Here you set the timeout in seconds.

 _terminate_timeout       = 60;

Default for 'Start at'

In start task/order dialogs the start time can be set to equal now per default. You can omit this.

 _start_at_default_is_now = true;

Start Task Unforced Now

Enables the additional job menu item Start task unforced now.

 _start_next_period_enabled  = false;

Debug Level

Possible values are 0-9.

A new window will open to write the debug information. A popup pop-up blocker should allow this.

 _debug_level             = 0;

Additional URLs In Extras Menu

You can add arbitrary URLs to the popup pop-up menu of the Extras button in the form:

 _extra_urls[ 'display name' ] = 'url';

For an example see below.

Aliases

You can set an URL mapping for the remote JobSchedulers if e.g. an Apache proxy configuration is used.

For more information about proxy configuration see How to operate JOC with an Apache Proxy?.

Set an alias like this:

 _url_aliase[ 'remote_host:remote_port' ] = 'url';

Timezones

JOC display all timestamps in the local time of that host where you open the browser.

Since JobScheduler Release 1.8 a selectbox can used to switch between different timezones.

You can add timezones in the form:

_timezones[ 'display name' ] = 'timezone';

See here the supported time zones in JOC.

Example:

_timezones[ 'my company in Berlin' ] = 'Europe/Berlin';

With the variable _timezone_preselected you can set the time zone which is used when JOC starts.

Here you can use one of the keys from the above specified time zones. Further there are the keys 'local' for the local time of the browser and 'JobScheduler' for the time zone in which the JobScheduler works.

_timezone_preselected = 'my company in Berlin';

Hide some function or force a confirm

This feature is available since JobScheduler Release 1.8

In JOC you see functions e.g for start a job or an order etc. (see JOC - Basic Functions List).

Some of these function can be hidden or you can force a confirm before the execution.

Filters

For more information see How to store filters persistently that would not disappear after cleanup of cookies?.

You can set filters for jobs, job chains and orders like this:

...

 _active_project_filter             = 'name of the filter';

User-defined Configuration via my_custom.js

While the configuration file custom.js (see above) for JOC is always processed, you can create an additional configuration file, i.e. my_custom.js, to overwrite the settings from custom.js.

...

The name of the user-defined configuration file is arbitrary and has to be stored in the same directory as custom.js.
You can add multiple files as given in the following example 1.

Example 1

The language of JOC is per default English, however, some users want JOC in, for example, Russian or in French.
Create the file ru.js with the content:

...

You can extend the example by using _extra_urls (see Example 2 below).

Example 2

After completing Example 1 above, add the follwoing following to the custom.js datei file:

 _extra_urls['english']  = 'http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html';
 _extra_urls['russian']  = 'http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html#ru';
 _extra_urls['french']   = 'http://[scheduler_host]:[scheduler_port]/index.html#fr';

If you now call JOC, you will find links for selecting the language in the right top Extras menu.
