Defining Job Actions


Use the following fields in the Script area of the Add Job or Modify Job dialog box to define the actions a job will perform when it executes. Table 11 provides a description of the job action properties available in the Add Job and Modify Job dialog boxes.

Table 11. Job Action Fields
Field
Description
Script Type
Currently, two types of scripts are supported by Siebel Analytics Scheduler: VBScript and JScript. This field is set according to the type of script referred to by the Script field.
Script Contains File Name
In the Job Manager, you can enter either a file name or the actual contents of a script in the Script field. If the Script field contains a file name, this option is selected.
Script
This is either a reference to a job script file or the contents of a job script itself. If it is a reference, enter a file name in this field, such as TestConnect.js. If no path is given, Siebel Analytics Scheduler examines the directory referred to in the Default Script Path configuration value in the Scheduler tab of the Job Manager Configuration dialog. If a path is given, the path must be accessible by the Scheduler application. In Windows, the default Siebel Analytics Server installation registers the service as a system account, which makes network paths inaccessible.
Parameters
The values entered in this field are passed to the job script through the Parameters array. Enter one parameter per line. For example:

c:\siebel\data\scheduler
cli_snowflake
SELECT Lastname FROM Employee

By default, each parameter must be less than 255 characters in length. You can change this restriction by modifying the varchar length in the back-end database. In the NQSJOBPARAMETERS table, the column is JobParameter. For more information about this table, see Siebel Analytics Installation and Configuration Guide.
