Submitting jobs to manage applications
In a flexible management environment, we can submit jobs to install and administer enterprise apps on managed nodes of the job manager and to uninstall files from nodes. An enterprise application is an EAR file that conforms to Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) specifications.
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 of the job targets.
Before we can install an application, run a job that copies the enterprise application file to managed nodes. Remember any destination value specified when distributing the file. See the topic on the distribute file job.
The topics in this section describe how to install and administer enterprise application files by running jobs in the job manager console.
Instead of using the job manager console, you can run jobs in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.
Run the Install application job to deploy an enterprise application on managed nodes.
Run the Start application job.
Run the Stop application job.
Run the Update application job.
Run the Uninstall application job to remove an enterprise application from managed nodes.
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.
