Below are the requirements and installation steps to utilize the Job Scheduler Expert for Nastel XRay. Nastel XRay uses the Job Scheduler Expert in the background for scheduling.
Requirements
The Job Scheduler Expert is a shared Nastel AutoPilot service that is used by Nastel XRay to schedule changes to the environment. Confirm that the following requirements are met before installing the Job Scheduler Expert:
- Job Scheduler Expert 0.1.12 or higher
- Nastel XRay 1.3 or higher
- Service Update AP60_SU31.x.pkg or higher
- Java 1.8 or higher
- Nastel XRay assumes there is only a single instance of the Job Scheduler Expert, which uses Kafka for communications (the Nastel XRay install will configure this automatically). If both Nastel Navigator and XRay are installed, just one Job Scheduler Expert will need to be configured.
- One of the following supported Scheduler configurations:
- Option 1: Utilize multiple schedulers with a common corporate database. These scheduler database tables cannot be shared. As such, additional schemas are required for each scheduler instance.
- Option 2: Using a local dedicated database for scheduler. This scheduler database requires minimal maintenance which makes it a good candidate for a local instance.
- Option 1: Utilize multiple schedulers with a common corporate database. These scheduler database tables cannot be shared. As such, additional schemas are required for each scheduler instance.
Installation steps
- Install the package, JOB_SCHEDULER-0.1xx.pkg. This is available from the same media or web site from where you obtained the WGS Expert.
- Locate the database name from the following location:
AutoPilotM6/scheduler/config/db/
The following SQL files need to be run. Select the <db> that is associated with the database name you are using. After updating, run these SQL files from the command client or database Admin tool.
AutoPilotM6/scheduler/config/db/ap-sched-<db>.sql
AutoPilotM6/scheduler/config/db/quartz_<db>.sql
-
Deploy instances of the Job Scheduler Expert to the same node where WGS 10 expert will run.
-
Open the Job_Scheduler Properties screen by right clicking on Job_Scheduler and select Properties from the menu.
-
Configure the Database tab to the database where you ran the scripts and click Deploy if this is a new installation or Apply if you are editing an existing installation.
- Restart the CEP server.
- Verify that the scheduler service starts.
- The Job Scheduler Expert is now ready to be utilized.
