WSGrid command-line utility

The WSGrid utility is a client application of the job scheduler message-driven interface. Use the WSGrid utility to facilitate control of WebSphere batch jobs by external workload schedulers, such as Tivoli Workload Scheduler.

The WSGrid utility is invoked by an external workload scheduler as part of a larger task choreography. The WSGrid utility submits a WebSphere batch job, then waits for its completion. The job log from the batch job is written to the standard output stream of the environment in which the WSGrid utility was invoked.

WSGrid supports three distinct ways of specifying a batch job. We can specify:

  1. An xJCL file.
  2. The name of an xJCL file in the job repository.
  3. A set of simple properties that describe the batch job.
