Submitting jobs to collect status on managed servers and applications

In a flexible management environment, we can submit the Status job to refresh data on managed resources of the job manager. Resources include applications and servers of each node. Run the Status job to refresh data on node resources in the job manager database. You can view the refreshed data in the job manager console or by wsadmin scripts.

Start the job manager and the target nodes. Ensure that the nodes for which you want status are registered with the job manager.

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 apply all of the job targets. To run the job against a large number of nodes, optionally create a group of nodes and submit the job against the group.

Use the admin console of the job manager to submit the job. From the job manager console, choose the Status job, specify the nodes, schedule the job, review the summary, and submit the job.

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

 

1. Click Jobs > Submit from the navigation tree of the job manager administrative console.

2. Choose the Status job and click Next.

3. Choose job targets.

   1. Select a group of nodes from the list, or select Node names.

   2. If you selected Node names, then specify a node name and click Add, or click Find and specify the chosen nodes on the Find nodes page.

   3. If user authentication is required, specify the user name and password.

   4. Click Next.

4. On the Specify the job parameters page, click Next. There are no job parameters for the Status job.

5. Schedule the job and click Next.

6. Review the summary, and click Finish to submit the job.

 

Results

The job runs and refreshes data on applications and servers of the target nodes.

 

Next steps

On the Job status page, click the job ID and view the job status. Click the status refresh icon

to refresh the displayed 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, the data on the Node resources page is updated. Click Jobs > Node resources to see the resource status.
