How to enable the Job Streams Functionality

There was an event handling mechanism that works as an add on to the JobScheduler. Event handler determines on which condition what jobs should be started. Now this "Job Streams" feature adds a capability to the product which allows graphical configuration of job dependencies. This feature is provided by a JobScheduler SOS Conditions Plugin. The plugin <plugin java_class="com.sos.jobstreams.plugins.JobStreamsPlugin"/> should be enabled to allow the use of the Job Streams functionality, see  SET-181 - Getting issue details... STATUS

There are two points in time when the Job Streams functionality can be enabled:

1. At the time of installation
2. After the installation

How to enable the Job Streams Functionality at the time of Installation?

You just need to enable the Conditions-Plugin via a checkbox at Step 9 of the installation process. 

How to enable the Job Streams Functionality after Installation? 

The scheduler.xml configuration file of JobScheduler Master can be used to enable the Job Streams functionality like this:

• Step 1

  Edit the scheduler.xml file present in the SCHEDULER_DATA/config directory of JobScheduler Master.

• Step 2

  By default the plugin <!-- plugin java_class="com.sos.jobstreams.plugins.JobStreamsPlugin"/ --> is commented out. Remove the comment from the configuration.
