ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for Batch Manager version 3.0 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The purpose of "BATCH MANAGER" is to provide a vehicle to submit, monitor, and
control jobs (OS/2 and DOS command files and executables) under the IBM OS/2
operating system. Three job queues are provided and the user can control the
status of these queues. This product is patterned after other OS/2 products
and is designed to be SAA/CUA compliant.
"BATCH MANAGER" is translatable. Consult the vendor for details.
The sub-system provides the following functions:
Submission and execution of jobs, either immediately or delayed to a
later time/date. The jobs can be submitted either from this user
interface, from the OS/2 command line using the BMSUBMIT facility
provided by this sub-system or by using the OS/2 "drag and drop" facility
to drop a job(s) (.CMD, .BAT or .EXE) upon the Monitor. Jobs can be
submitted for either a single or recurring execution.
Control over the status of the queues which are responsible for
controlling jobs.
Control over the status of the jobs, such as cancel, hold, release,
change queue, change priority, etc.
When "BATCH MANAGER" is started, two programs will be visible either on the
desktop or in the minimized window viewer:
Batch Manager Monitor - The graphical user interface which allows the
user to control the actions of the Batch Manager, including submitting
and updating jobs, cancelling, requeuing, etc.
Batch Manager Scheduler - The program which actually manages the queues
and jobs. Users communicate with the scheduler either by using the
monitor or the Command Line Interface.
Command Line Interface
The BM Scheduler must be started as a foreground session using BMSTART2.CMD in
order to process applications with screen/keyboard I/O. (This is the default
startup procedure after "BATCH MANAGER" is installed.)
To run the scheduler as a detached process use BMSTART.CMD In this case jobs
submitted to "BATCH MANAGER" cannot have any screen/keyboard I/O capability,
and the scheduler will not be visible on the desktop.
In either case the full path to the directory where "BATCH MANAGER" is
installed must be provided as a parameter, e.g.: BMSTART2.CMD C:\MBABATCH
A journal of all "BATCH MANAGER" activity is maintained in BMJOB.LOG in the
"BATCH MANAGER" work directory (e.g., C:\MBABATCH). The log can be viewed
from the Options Action Bar Choice. It is the users responsibility to clear
this file on a regular basis. The log file is copied to a back-up version of
the file (BMJOB.BAK) whenever "BATCH MANAGER" is initiated.
A queue file is maintained by the "BATCH MANAGER" Scheduler for each of the
three job queues (BMQUEUE1.DAT, BMQUEUE2.DAT, and BMQUEUE3.DAT). These files
are read by the Scheduler at startup in order to restore the queues to the
status existing when "BATCH MANAGER" was closed. In the event that a hardware
or software problem causes "BATCH MANAGER" to terminate while a job(s) is
active it may be necessary to delete these files before restarting "BATCH
MANAGER". This action is usually required if the user has the following entry
in the 'CONFIG.SYS' file:
SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY
The product is licensed for use on a single OS/2 computer. For full terms of
licensing, consult the license agreement accompanying the product package.
Address any other questions, including pricing, to the vendor (see "About..."
under the HELP action-bar-choice.
This facility is typically executed at each computer and the jobs controlled
by the individual user. The installation process adds "BATCH MANAGER" startup
details to the 'STARTUP.CMD' file so that "BATCH MANAGER" is initiated when
the user boots the computer. If "BATCH MANAGER" is terminated for any reason
it can be restarted using either of the commands detailed previously.
The BM Monitor, which is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the facility,
is a window programmed around OS/2's "Presentation Manager." The window
consists of the following action bar choices:
QUEUE - Provides the means to control the status of the queues.
JOB - Provides the means to control the actions of the job(s), including
submitting and updating jobs, cancelling, requeuing, etc.
OPTIONS - Provides the means to display the Job Execution Log and
suppress the end of job execution display and/or beep.
HELP - Provides guidance throughout facility. Pertinent pop-up windows
are invoked as required to guide the user through the selected action.
The main window displays the job queues, along with the jobs submitted to each
queue. Each job is listed by Job Id, Job Name (as submitted by the user),
scheduled Start Date, scheduled/actual Start Time, Job Status (Active,
Pending, Holding, Delayed). A code is also displayed indicating whether the
batch job is Single or Recurring (repetitive).
The "BATCH MANAGER" queues are refreshed automatically whenever activity
occurs. Because of this, the screen is always current.
JOB FILES
To submit a job, the user must submit a user specified job file (.CMD, .BAT or
.EXE). This file must exist prior to job submission and must contain the full
file\directory path name (no default directories are assumed) for any file
specified in this command file. The 'EXIT' statement in a .CMD file may cause
a return error message from OS/2 at the end of the job execution even though
the the job is actually executed successfully.
SUBMITTING JOBS FROM OS/2 COMMAND LINE
The Command Line Interface is provided as an alternative for users to manage
jobs and queues without interacting with the Graphical User Interface. This
is primarily used to enable job submission from an external source (e.g.,
another user application or command procedure).
Command Line Interface
BMSUBMIT - submit new jobs
BMCHSTAT - change job status
BMJOB - get job status
BMLIST - list all jobs
BMGETQ - get the current status of queues
BMCHQ - change queue status
BMTERM - terminate the Scheduler
TERMPID - terminate a process
JOB COMPLETION
Upon completion of the batch job, a beep is sounded and a dialog box is
displayed notifying the user whether or not the batch job was successfully
executed. The user can remove the dialog by pressing the Ok button or the
dialog will remove itself after 60 seconds. The user can suppress the beep
and/or the dialog from the Options Action Bar Choice.
A journal of all job completion messages is maintained in BMJOB.LOG in the
"BATCH MANAGER" work directory (e.g., C:\MBABATCH). The log can be viewed
from the Options Action Bar Choice. It is the users responsibility to clear
this file on a regular basis.
MESSAGES
When a job is completed, a variety of messages may appear in the BMJOB.LOG) to
indicate completion status; either ERROR or NO ERRORS. Some OS/2 Termination
and Return Codes may also be displayed. Consult IBM OS/2 documentation for
their meaning (e.g., "OS/2 Control Program Programming Reference").
SHUTDOWN
If a batch job is ACTIVE in the job queue, the user will be unable to close
the "BATCH MANAGER" Monitor and Scheduler. Should the computer SHUTDOWN
(either through the OS/2 Desktop or power failure, the active batch job will
abort execution).
COMPUTER CLOCK
Execution of "BATCH MANAGER" is based on the computer's clock. Should the you
wish to change the settings on the clock, the user is advised to first HOLD
the queues before changing the clock. After the clock has been changed, the
user can then RELEASE the queues.
Note: It may be necessary to UPDATE the time settings for the various jobs in
the queues. Use the UPDATE/REQUEUE JOB window to update the time/date
settings of each job before RELEASING the queues.
