Defining Remote Task Manager Objects

The steps for defining Remote Task Manager objects (JOBQ) are the same as for any other Automic object. This section describes the settings that are specific to only JOBQ objects. For general information about the purpose of a JOBQ object, see Remote Task Manager Object (JOBQ).

A Remote Task Manager object definition is made up of the following pages:

Standard pages that are always available, no matter what type of object you are defining:

Additional pages that are always available for executable objects:

Process
Attributes
Output Page
Variables & Prompt Sets
Rollback

The object-specific page described here.

This page is identical for all types of JOBQ objects, only the entries available in the dropdown list on the left hand side differ. Depending on your selection here, the search operator and the values you can enter in the field on the right hand side.

In this page you specify the filter criteria that identify the external operation you want to control via this object and that will be displayed in the Process Monitoring perspective.

To Define a Filter for External Operations

Select an entry from the dropdown list on the left hand side. As soon as you add this criterion, the entry is removed from this dropdown list. This guarantees that your filters return unique results.
Depending on your selection, the search operator changes dynamically to allow you to enter the appropriate value.
Enter or select the value in the field on the right hand side.
Click Add to apply this filter criterion. Continue collecting the filter criteria you need.
Switch to the Child Post Process page if you want to define an additional script that should be processed after the child tasks are finished. The script is processed for each child task.
