Example: Transactional batch properties file

The example file WSGrid.batch.job illustrates the properties necessary to define the first step of the PostingsSample batch job.

# Specify name by which this job is known job-name=PostingsSample  
  
# Use default job class - uncomment to specify custom class   
# job-class=<enter class name here>  
  
# This is the JNDI name of the BatchController system SLSB. 
controller-jndi-name=ejb/com/ibm/websphere/samples/PostingsJob  
  
# Specify name of target Java(TM) Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)application.  
application-name=PostingsSampleEar  
  
# A time-based checkpoint algorithm is provided. 

checkpoint-algorithm=com.ibm.wsspi.batch.checkpointalgorithms.timebased

# Use the interval property of the algorithm, specified in seconds, to decide
# how often to commit the global transaction when invoking a batch job step.
checkpoint-algorithm.interval=10  

# This is a logical JNDI name for the batch step; it has to match the ejb-reference declared 
# in the system SLSB for this batch step entity bean.

batch-bean-jndi-name=ejb/DataCreationBean  
  
# This is the output bds used by the DataCreationBean.  
# The logical name expected by the DataCreationBean is 'myoutput' 

bds.myoutput=com.ibm.websphere.samples.PostingOutputStream 

# Specify the implementation class and bds input property named 'FILENAME', expected   
# by this bds class. Change the value of the 'FILENAME' property to a path  
# in the filesystem to write the postings output file.

bds.myoutput.FILENAME=/root/bds/sample/myostingsfile	  
# Generic properties can be passed to the Batch Step. The DataCreationBean step uses   
# this property to control how many postings to create in the file associated with   
# PostingsOutputStream. 
prop.name.wsbatch.count=5
