3.6 Creating an Enterprise Manager Job for Tuxedo Batch Operation

From Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, you can create the following types of JES jobs:

• Tuxedo Batch Process Control: This job makes one of these operations: submit, purge, hold, release, or cancel a Batch job.
• Tuxedo Batch Synchronizes Job: This job synchronizes all the JES Jobs related metrics data with the job statistics stored in JESROOT.
• Purge Tuxedo Batch Jobs: This job purges Batch Jobs at a scheduled time automatically.

To create an Enterprise Manager job, do the following steps:

1. From Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, click Enterprise -> Job -> Activity.
2. In the Activity page, select the job type in the Create Job list and click Go.
3. Type a name and description for the Enterprise Manager job.
4. Depending on the job type you selected, do one of the following:
   • For the Tuxedo Batch Process Control job, click Add to add a Tuxedo Batch System target for this job. Click the Parameters tab and select an operation from the Operation list and input the related parameters. Following operations can be made for the Batch job:
     • Submit a Batch job
     • Purge a Batch job
     • Hold a Batch job
     • Release a Batch job
     • Cancel a Batch job
   • For the Tuxedo Batch Synchronize Job, click the Parameters tab and select one or multiple Tuxedo domains in the Domains list. Only Batch domains are listed.
   • For the Purge Tuxedo Batch Jobs, click the Parameters tab and set the day/week time in the Older than text box. The JES Jobs older than that day/week will be purged. Select one or multiple Tuxedo domains listed in the Domain list. Only Batch domains are listed.
5. Click the Credentials tab and specify the credential information by one of the following:
   • Select an existing credential in the Preferred or Named category
   • Create a new credential by filling in the required information

     In the case that Tuxedo security is not enabled, you can create a Tuxedo Batch System Credential with any value for Tuxedo Username, Tuxedo Password, and Tuxedo Application Password.

     In the case that Tuxedo security is enabled, the Tuxedo Batch System credentials must be provided to make the JES Job operations. The credential provided here may be the same with the one used on the JES Jobs query page.

6. Click the Schedule tab and specify the Batch Job schedule. The Batch Job can be submitted immediately or at the scheduled time.
7. Click Submit.

The Enterprise Manager job status is shown in the Enterprise Manager Job Activity page. You can view the Batch Job status from the Tuxedo Batch System target page.

You can also manually synchronize JES jobs by clicking the Synchronize button in the Tuxedo Batch System target home page.
