The RA JD Edwards Agent Solution

The RA JD Edwards Agent solution includes special panels for Connection objects, Agents, and Jobs. It uses the runubexml and runube commands to run RA JD Edwards Agent Jobs.

This guide describes how to:

  • Specify settings for RA JD Edwards Agent JDBC and program Connection objects.
  • Specify RA JD Edwards Agent solution Agent runtime values.
  • Creating RA JD Edwards Agent UBEXML and UBE Jobs.

How the RA JD Edwards Agent Runs UBEXML Jobs

The runubexml command uses XML documents. It is in the XML documents where data selection can be changed, where the batch Job ID is exposed, and where other features can be used. The image below is copied from a document provided by JD Edwards named Submitting Reports with The runubexml Program. It shows the three steps of processing including results and the XML commands and file changes of the runubexml flow. For more on how the runubexml command is used to run reports, see the Submitting Reports with The runubexml Program document.

The RA JD Edwards Agent uses the runubexml command in the steps shown in the image below in the following ways:

  • Step 1: Runs the Base XML file set in the Base XML File Override field as specified on the Agent Runtime Values page in the Agent definition. For more information, see topic Specifying RA JD Edwards Agent Solution Agent Object Settings.
  • Step 2: Modifies the XML file and submits it again. The XML file can be modified by:
    • Editing data selections
    • Editing processing options
    • Generating XML at runtime
    • Specifying advanced processing options

    For more information, see Working with Jobs.

  • Step 3: Submitting the Job by initiating it from the Automation Engine.
