Form Tab (JMX)

The Form tabis object type-specific and is only found in JMX, PeopleSoft, SAP, or SQL jobs. Script elements can be easily entered through forms.

Object: Job
Object class: Executable object
Object type (short name): JOBS

The window is divided in two parts. The right half shows a tree structure listing all script elements (JMX JCL) provided by AE. In order to keep a clear overview, they are sorted according to topics (e.g. operations). By double-clicking on one of the sub-categories, the appropriate script element is added to the list in the left half of this tab.

Highlight a script element to call the appropriate form and it will be displayed instead of the tree structure. Settings made here are automatically written to the Process tab. The order of the script elements automatically corresponds to the order shown in the list (compare Form and Process tab). The order can be changed at any time simply by moving the arrow keys in the upper left half of the window.

Other symbols for editing the list:

Symbol	Description
	Inserts a new line at the current position.
	Duplicates the highlighted line.
	Inserts a new line at the end.
	Removes the current line.

Values can be added and selected via the available forms. Also, data is available from the MBean Server if a connection has been established. For these cases, the button Browse (next to the control field) can be used to obtain the existing information in table form (e.g. operations for JMX_INVOKE).

The MBean Browser displays a maximum of 300 entries. The title line in the Browser window shows the total number of available MBeans. If there are more than 300, Automic recommends limiting the number of displayed entries. Right-click the tree view in the MBean Browser and select the command "Apply filter". Enter a filter for the MBean object names and confirm with OK, and this will update the MBean Browser view.

The JMX agent must be selected in the Attributes tab. Otherwise, a connection will not be established. The traffic light symbol shown on the bottom left edge of the Form tabindicates the connection status.

Instead of specifying values in Form fields, you can also insert script variables.
