WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid, Version 6.1
             Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS


The WSGrid command-line utility

The WSGrid utility is designed to facilitate integration of WebSphere Extended Deployment jobs with external workload schedulers.Use this utility to sub-dispatch a WebSphere Extended Deployment grid job.

The WSGrid utility is a client application of the job scheduler message-driven interface. Use the WSGrid utility to facilitate control of WebSphere batch jobs by external workload schedulers, such as Tivoli Workload Scheduler. The WSGrid utility is invoked by an external workload scheduler as part of a larger task choreography. The WSGrid utility submits a WebSphere batch job, then waits for its completion. The job log from the WebSphere batch job is written to the standard output stream of the environment in which the WSGrid utility was invoked.

[For z/OS operating system] WSGrid can also be invoked from conventional JCL on z/OS. This enables a WebSphere batch job to be incorporated as a job step into a conventional z/OS batch job.

WSGrid supports three distinct ways of specifying a WebSphere job. You can specify:
  1. An xJCL file.
  2. The name of an xJCL file in the job repository.
  3. A set of simple properties that describe the WebSphere job.

Invocation

Use the following syntax for invoking the WSGrid utility:

Syntax:
  • WSGrid{.bat|.sh}<job properties file> - The job properties file is a fully qualified path name to the file containing the WSGrid job properties. If specified alone, it must also contain WSGrid control properties
  • WSGrid{.bat|.sh}<control properties file><job properties file> - The control properties file is a fully qualified path name to the file containing the WSGrid control properties
  • WSGrid{.bat|.sh}<control properties file><xJCL file> - The xJCL file is a fully qualified path name to the file containing an xJCL job definition.
