Submitting jobs to manage servers

In a flexible management environment, we can submit jobs to create and administer servers on managed nodes of the job manager. The servers can be a stand-alone server or a federated node of a deployment manager.

Before submitting a job, start the job manager and the target nodes. If a target node is a stand-alone appserver, also start the admin agent.

Your ID at the job manager must be authorized for the administrator role or the operator role to submit jobs. When you submit a job, we can specify a user name and password for authentication and authorization at the target node or nodes. When you submit a job to multiple target nodes, the user name and password or the credentials for the submitter must be applicable to all the job targets.

The topics in this section describe how to create and administer servers by running jobs in the job manager console.

The jobs that we can run depend on the jobs supported by managed nodes and the security credentials. To run jobs that administer clusters, a dmgr node must be registered with the job manager. To run jobs that administer proxy servers, a node that supports proxy servers must be registered with the job manager.

Instead of using the job manager console, we can run jobs in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.

Next steps

On the Job status page, click the ID of the job and view the job status. If the job is not successful, view any error messages that result from running the job, correct the error condition, and submit the job again.

If the job is successful, click Jobs > Node resources to see the server in the list of resources.
