Defining Remote Task Manager Objects

The steps for defining Remote Task Manager objects (JOBQ) are the same as for any other 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 (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:

  • General Page
  • Version Management Page
  • Documentation Page

• Additional pages that are always available for executable objects:

  • Process Pages
  • Attributes Page
  • Registering External Output Files
  • Variables Page
  • Rollback Page
• The object-specific page described here.

On this page you define filter criteria to identify the external operation that you want to control through the Remote Task Manager object.

To Define a Filter for External Operations

1. Select an entry from the dropdown list on the left hand side. The content of the list depends on the type of external operations that you want to monitor.

   After you have added a list entry as criterion, it entry is removed from this dropdown list. This guarantees that your filters return unique results.

2. Depending on your selection, the search operator changes dynamically to allow you to enter the appropriate value.
3. Enter or select the value in the field on the right hand side.
4. Click Add to apply this filter criterion. Continue collecting the filter criteria you need.
5. 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.
