Example control file

A control file could contain the following properties.

# host of my job scheduler 
scheduler-host=zwasc013.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com
# http port of my job scheduler server 
scheduler-port=9182
# user id of job submitter 
submitter-userid=jobman
# job submitter password
submitter-password=foobar1a



# enable debug 
debug=true
# increase timeout to 8 seconds per message
timeout=8000

Example control file with encoded password

The password in the control file can be encoded for security purposes using the WebSphere PropFilePasswordEncoder utility. For file WSGrid.cntl, which contains the control properties from the previous example, the encoding utility is invoked as:
PropFilePasswordEncoder WSGrid.cntl submitter-password 

The result is that submitter-password in the WSGrid.cntl file is encoded in place. After the PropFilePasswordEncoder is run against WSGrid.cntl file, the value of the submitter-password is encoded. For example:

submitter-password={xor}OTAwPT4tbj4=
