What to do next

When you define a job of this type, you supply the following:
  • A jar prepared by you, containing the classes and methods you want to implement when the job is run
  • A set of parameters which provide runtime information to the job

The following sections tell you how to prepare the .jar. They also describe how you can use the Get Class Information button, which is displayed on the interface, to obtain information about the classes in the selected jar.
