Configuring ESP Schedulers

This topic explains how to add, configure, view, edit and delete a scheduler for ESP. You can add ESP schedulers before installing the ESP Connector. However, you will not be able to use them until the Connector is up and running.

For more information, see AAI Integration for ESP Workload Automation.

This page includes the following:

Adding an ESP Scheduler

ESP schedulers can only be created through the Web UI.

  1. Go to System and click the Add Scheduler button.

  2. Enter a descriptive Name that the people who will work with the data from this scheduler can easily recognize. The name must be unique in your system. The dialog to configure the scheduler is displayed.

  3. In Type select ESP.

  4. Specify the following parameters:

    • Connector

      If there is an ESP connector registered, it is listed in the Connector dropdown list.

    • Default Time Zone

      Time zone used in ESP.

      Consult with the ESP administrator to learn the correct time zone that ESP uses.

    • Messaging Host

      Domain name or IP address of the host where the Message Service Hub is running.

    • Messaging Port

      Listening port on the host where the Message Service Hub is running.

    • Messaging User

      User name that is used to connect to the Message Service Hub. If there is no one, leave this value empty.

    • Messaging Password

      Password that is used to connect to the Message Service Hub. If there is no one, leave this value empty.

    • Token

      Token that is used to match the appropriate ESP Adapter and ESP Connector. This value must match the one that is specified in the adapter.connection.mq-token property of the ADPTPROP.

      mq-transport

      Preferable transport level. Select one from the following available options:

      • tcp

        Specify IT to use TCP/IP connection with no encryption.

      • jks

        Specify IT to use TCP/IP connection with encryption when the certificate and the certificate authority certificate are stored in the Java keystore or truststore.

        Jks requires the following properties:

        • mq-jks-keyStore

          Specify the keystore, for example keyStore: "c:\\keystore.jks".

        • mq-jks-keyStorePassword

          Specify the keystore password.

        • mq-jks-trustStore

          Specify the truststore, for example trustStore: "c:\\trust-store.jks"

        • mq-jks-trustStorePassword

          Specify the truststore password.

    • Job Definition Refresh Times

      Times of day when job definitions will be refreshed.

    • Projected Start Time Period (days)

      How far forward the Connector should look for planned start times.

    • Event Polling Interval (seconds)

      Event polling interval for a particular scheduler.

  5. Click Save Changes. The new scheduler is added to the list of already connected systems. Initially, its status is In Progress until the scheduler is completely connected to AAI.

Viewing a Scheduler

Click and existing scheduler in the list. The dialog that is displayed provides the scheduler configuration data as you entered when adding it. You cannot edit anything here. For details about each field, see the Adding a Scheduler section above.

Editing a Scheduler

  2. The resulting dialog provides the scheduler configuration data in two tabs, Monitoring Details and Connection Configuration, as you entered them when you added it. For details about each field, see Adding a Scheduler above.

  3. Click the Edit button at the top of this dialog to make the fields editable, then make your changes and save them.

  2. Click Delete on the dialog that is displayed.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Command java not Found

Indications

Output similar to the following when running software manually or when started automatically (OS-specific):

$ cd /opt/terma/jobtrac-connector

$ java -jar jobtrac-connector-1.0.0.jar

Command 'java' not found, did you mean:
    command 'java' from deb default-jre 
    command 'java' from deb openjdk-11-jre-headless			
    command 'java' from deb openjdk-11-jre-headless
command 'java' from deb openjdk-8-jre-headless

Problem Description

This message indicates a Java virtual machine is either not installed or available in the path for the current user on the host or container. The software requires an available, compatible Java virtual machine in order to work.

Resolution

Install a Java 8-compatible Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK). For more information, see Prerequisites. Re-run the software normally, once complete.
