Job Stream Submission jobs
A Job Stream Submission job submits a job stream for processing.
The Job Stream Submission job is one of the Automation Utilities that facilitate specific HCL Workload Automation operations. Use the Job Stream Submission job type to automate the submission of a job stream for processing.
A description of the job properties and valid values are detailed in the context-sensitive help in the Dynamic Workload Console by clicking the question mark (?) icon in the top-right corner of the properties pane.| Attribute | Description and value | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Url | A variable that specifies the web address of HCL Workload Automation master server. You can override this
variable with the web address of the master server and any HCL Workload Automation backup master (in case the master is not
available). Use a comma or a semicolon to separate the different addresses that you specify. If you do not override this variable at job definition time, the variable is resolved automatically at job execution time. In this case, if the connection to the master server is not available, the plug-in tries to connect automatically to any of the backup masters. |
✓ |
| userName | The user to be used for accessing the HCL Workload Automation master server. | |
| password | The password to be used for accessing the HCL Workload Automation master server. | Required if you specify a user name. |
| keyStoreFilePath | The fully qualified path of the keystore file containing the private key that
is used to make the connection. Note: For Workload Automation on Cloud users, this attribute must be equal to:
As an alternative, you can specify this
attribute in the following
format: |
|
| keyStorePassword | The password that protects the private key and is required to make the
connection. Note: For Workload Automation on Cloud users,
this attribute must be equal to:
|
|
| HostnameVerify Checkbox |
Use this attribute to require that the syntax of the HCL Workload Automation master server name, as featured in the
keystore file, must match exactly the URL. If they do not match, no authorization is granted to
access the server. If this attribute is not specified, the control is not enforced. Note: For
Workload Automation on Cloud users, this attribute cannot be
specified.
|
|
| NumberOfRetries | The number of times that the program retries when connecting to the HCL Workload Automation master server. Default value is 0. | |
| RetryIntervalSeconds | The number of seconds that the program waits before retrying to connect to the HCL Workload Automation master server. Default value is 30 seconds. | |
| specifyjobstream | To define the job stream that you want to submit for processing. | |
| workstation | The name of the workstation on which the job stream was defined. | ✓ |
| jobstreamname | The name of the job stream. | ✓ |
| alias | A unique name to be assigned to the job stream in place of jobstreamname. | |
| resubcurrjobstream | To resubmit the current job stream. This attribute is alternative to specifyjobstream. | |
| startafter | To define an offset in hours for the start time. | |
| delayforhours | The offset is calculated from the time of the submission of the Job Stream Submission job. Possible values can range from 00:00 to 23:59. The default value is '00:00'. | |
| startat | To define the time of day before which the job stream must not start. This attribute is alternative to startafter. | |
| time | The time of day before which the job stream must not start. Possible values can range from 00:00 to 23:59. | |
| delayfordays | You can specify an offset in days for the start time. The offset is calculated from the day of the submission of the Job Stream Submission job. The default value is '0'. | |
| variabletablename | The name of the variable table to be used by the job stream. | |
| variablelistValues | The list of variables in the variable table, and related values. |

</jsdl:jobDefinition>Scheduling a job in HCL Workload Automation
You schedule Job Stream Submission jobs by defining them in job streams. Add the job to a job stream with all the necessary scheduling arguments and submit it.
You can submit jobs by using the Dynamic Workload Console, Application Lab, or the conman command line.
Stopping and restarting a job
Stopping and restarting a Job Stream Submission job are not supported.
Job properties
For information about how to display the job properties from the various supported interfaces, see Analyzing the job log . For example, you can see the job properties by running conman sj <job_name>;props, where<job_name> is the Job Stream Submission job name.
You can export some of the Job Stream Submission job properties that you see in the Extra Information section of the output command, to a successive job in the same job stream or in a different job stream. For more information about the list of job properties that you can export, see Table 19.
Job log content
You can see the job log content by running conman sj <job_name>;stdlist, where <job_name> is the Job Stream Submission job name.
