Introduction

Jobs are used within workflows preferably to execute for executing shell commands, scripts and binaries with JS7 Agents.

• A workflow includes any number of JS7 - Job Instruction to execute jobs and to implement dependencies such as to fork and to join processing, to acquire a resource lock etc.Job implementations come with the following flavors:
  • Shell Jobs are executed with the operating system shell, e.g. for example the Windows Shell or one of the Unix Shells such as /bin/sh, /bin/bash etc.
    • Shell jobs can include to call any shell commands, calls to scripts and executable files.
    • Such jobs behave similarly to individual commands being executed in the command line of the operating system.
    • Shell jobs include to allow the use of scripting languages such as Node.js, Perl, RubyPowerShell, Python , PowerShell etc. for which These require an interpreter is to be installed with the OS that can be executed from the command line.
  • JVM Jobs are implemented in a number of supported languages that can be operated for a Java Virtual Machine and for which the Agent exposes the JS7 - Order VariablesJob API.. The languages supported include:
    • Java Jobs:
    and job node arguments. Languages include
    • Java: such jobs are executed in the JVM provided by the JS7 Agent.
    • JavaScript , Ruby, Python etc.: such jobs Jobs require use of a the Oracle® GraalVM® Java Virtual Machine that with the JS7 Agent. The JVM provides the interpreter/compiler for the respective scripting language.
• The timeslots during which jobs are executed can be limited by JS7 - Admission Times for Jobs.
