The job management console

The job management console is a stand-alone Web interface for WebSphere® Extended Deployment Compute Grid users to perform job operations such as submit, monitor, schedule, and manage.

Overview

WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid V6.1 introduces the job management console for managing jobs. Interaction with the job repository is also possible, where jobs can be saved, removed or get submitted to the repository. This console provides controlled access when security is enabled. Only authorized users who are granted the lrmonitor, lrsubmitter , lradmin roles, or a combination of these roles through the WebSphere Extended Deployment administrative console can be permitted access to the job management console.

Through the job management console, you can submit job schedules with a preferred processing time. Also, you can configure job schedules so that they can, for example, occur or recur on a specific time of day or week. When you are ready to submit a job, you can choose to delay the submission of it by specifying the start date and time of when you want to run the job.

To access the job management console:
  1. Configure the job scheduler
  2. Ensure that the job scheduler is running
  3. In a browser, type the URL: http://<job scheduler server host>:<port>/jmc
  4. If an on-demand router (ODR) is defined in the cell, type the URL: http://<odr host>:80/jmc
Through the job management console, you can:
  • Submit jobs
  • Monitor job execution
  • Perform operational actions against jobs
  • View job logs
  • Manage the job repository
  • Manage job schedules
