Configuring Component Job Templates

This topic describes how to configure a component job template, which you can use on Siebel Servers across an enterprise. A component job template is a predefined component job that uses parameter values that you have defined. Use component job templates instead of individual component jobs if you are planning to regularly run component jobs with the same parameter values.

To define a component job template

1. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, then the Job Templates view.
2. In the Job Templates list, click New.
3. In the Name field, type in a descriptive name for the component job, such as Monthly EIM.
4. In the Short Name field, type in an alias for the component job, such as MonthEIM.
5. In the Component field, select the component for this component job, such as Enterprise Integration Manager.

   NOTE:  After a component job is created, do not change the value of the Component field. To change the component for an existing component job, create a new component job instead of modifying the existing one.

6. In the Description field, type in a description of the component job.
7. Click Menu, and then Save Record.
8. In the Job Parameters list, click New.
9. In the Name field, select the parameter that you want to define for this component job.
   1. In the Name field, click the select button.

      The Component Parameters dialog box appears. The parameters that appear in the Component Parameters dialog box vary depending on the component that you specified in Step 5.

   2. In the Component Parameters dialog box, click Query.
   3. In the Name field, type in the name of the parameter and click Go.
   4. If the query matches the parameter of interest, then click OK.
10. In the Value field of the Job Parameters list, type in the value for the parameter.

    The default value is automatically displayed in this field.

11. Check the appropriate flags for this parameter. To set the parameter type, use the following flags:
    • For a fixed parameter, check the Fixed field.
    • For a required parameter, check the Required field.
12. Click Menu, and then Save Record.
13. Continue to choose parameters by completing Table 8 through Step 12 until you have defined the parameters for the component job.
