The JobScheduler Operating Center (JOC) Cockpit introduced with Version 1.11 of the JobScheduler is the end user interface for a completely new web services application.
The JOC Cockpit replaces not just the JOC interface provided by the JobScheduler Master up to and including Version 1.10 but also the JobScheduler Information Dashboard (JID) application. The JOC Cockpit integrates and extends the features provided by the "old" JOC and JID into a new browser-based interface.
The web services behind the JOC Cockpit interface are installed separately to the JobScheduler Master and bring a powerful new feature set to the JobScheduler. The architecture behind the JOC Cockpit is described in detail in the JOC Cockpit Architecture article. This article provides a summary of the features provided through the JOC Cockpit.
Dashboard
The JOC Cockpit Dashboard is the default view that is opened after a user logs onto the JOC Cockpit. It is an interface that provides users with an overview of the activities of their JobSchedulers as well as a starting point for accessing information and managing scheduling activities. In addition a number of functions can be executed directly from the Dashboard.
Multi-Client Capability
The JOC Cockpit allows to configure both shared and dedicated services over any number of JobScheduler Masters.
Authentication and Authorization
The JOC Cockpit brings user authentication and authorization to the JobScheduler. Authentication can either take place against an Apache ShiroTM compliant configuration, an LDAP compliant directory service or information stored in a database. Authentication against multiple realms is possible. Authorization is defined in Roles and Permissions and an example set of Roles and Permissions is provided with the JOC Cockpit installation. System administrators are able to define their own User Roles and Permission sets as required. The JOC Cockpit is able to handle authentication of multiple users and their authorization for multiple JobSchedulers simultaneously. It also includes an editor in the Manage Accounts view for the configuration of authentication and authorization.
Navigation and Usability
The JOC Cockpit uses modern display techniques to allow the clear representation and simplified configuration of potentially large numbers of JobScheduler objects.
