How Do I Create a New Process Job?

Process Jobs are batch files or scripts stored in the Fabric server and triggered manually from the Command Line for scheduled execution.

Step 1.

Create a bash script and save it in /home/k2view/ directory.

For example, save the following code into /home/k2view/echoArg.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo "Total Arguments : $#"
echo "1st Argument = $1"
echo "2nd Argument = $2"

Step 2.

Invoke the startjob command to trigger the job with the relevant parameters.

• Go to the Fabric runtime command line and execute the following command:

bash startjob process NAME='/home/k2view/echoArg.sh' UID='processJobtest' ARGS='{"0":"ARG 1 value","1":"ARG 2 value"}' EXEC_INTERVAL='00:00:03';

Where:

• Process, defines the type of Job; in this case a process job.
• ID, defines the unique name of the processed job - processJobtest
• ARGS, defines a list of expected parameters to be parsed to the script when executed - {"0":"ARG 1 value","1":"ARG 2 value"}
• INTERVAL, refers to the frequency of the job's occurence; in this particular case every 3 seconds.
