Job manager settings

Configure the job manager server and view its properties. We can specify the default job expiration, the job manager web address, and the mail session JNDI name.

From the admin console, click...

        System administration > Job manager.


Name

The job manager server name. The name is read-only.


Default job expiration

Default job expiration time in days.

Information Value
Data type Integer
Default 60


Maximum database results

Maximum number of records that can be retrieved during a job manager find operation. Find operations might be for records on jobs, nodes, and node resources.

This maximum number of records can be reduced by the maximum results setting on a find operation. For example, assume specified the maximum results to display for finding nodes at 50, but maximum database results is set to 10000. If we have 20000 jobs, the find operation finds 50 nodes.

Information Value
Data type Integer
Default 10000


Job manager URL

The web address of the job manager that the administrative agent uses to fetch jobs.

The web address specified is used only when the job manager is configured as a proxy server. The web address overrides the default web address. If we modify the web address, we must reregister the nodes with the job manager. The change affects only the nodes previously registered.

Information Value
Data type String
Default http://host:port/otis/OMADMServlet

The host and port are those of the job manager unless we use a web server. In that case, change the host and port to that of the web server.


Mail session JNDI name

Specifies an optional mail session JNDI name to be used for email notifications on job completion.

Information Value
Data type String
Default None


Email sender's address

Email address of the sender of the notification message that the job manager provides when jobs have completed. This setting is required if we specify a JNDI mail session on the Mail session JNDI name setting.


Start components as needed

Specifies whether to start the server components as they are needed for applications that run on this server.

Select this property to have server components started as needed.

When not selected, all the server components are started during the startup process. Therefore, selecting this property typically results in improved startup time because fewer components are started during the startup process.

If we are running other WebSphere products on top of this product, make sure that those other products support this functionality prior to selecting this property.


Process ID

Read-only process ID of the job manager.


Cell name

Read-only cell name of the job manager.


Node name

Read-only node name of the job manager.


State

Read-only state of the job manager, such as started or stopped.

  • Administer nodes remotely using the job manager
  • Configure job managers
  • Enable J2EE applications to use mail resources with JavaMail
