Unix Job Server Tabs

The following configuration data is required to successfully configure a Unix Job Server.

Job Server Tab

Name Value
Name Alphanumeric and underscores
Default Time Zone Olson time zone. Type any letter combination in the name to restrict the list, for example lin for Europe/Berlin

Definition Types Tab

Job Definition Types are required to execute Job Definitions of a corresponding type.

Field Value
Definition Type: KSH
Definition Type: JobChain

Parameters Tab

The repository needs to know the host name (or IP address) and port number of the Platform Agent. The default port is 1555 and should be kept that way, unless another installed program is already using the default port.

Name Value
RemoteHostName <host name or IP address of system running Platform Agent>
SharedSecret The shared secret as generated in the last step of the installation

All other parameters are optional, you may specify them, but they have usable defaults. See Job Server parameters for a list of parameters. If you do not know the value of the SharedSecret, see the Configuring Platform Agents section.

Queues Tab

The Queues the Job Server will serve, that is execute processes from, are listed here.

Field Value
Queue System (or your own defined Queue)

Resources Tab

Resources link Job Definitions to two or more Job Servers to spread the load. Job Servers which share a same resource are the only ones that can run Job Definitions which have that resource. You may choose any name for a resource. Processes that require a specific resource are spread across all Job Servers that have that resource and serve the Queue the process was submitted in.
