Demonstrates the usage of the various argument types that jobs can accept. These types are integer, Real, Boolean, String, Time, Date, List, Dictionary, and Array (which can contain the types Integer, Real, Boolean, Time, Date, String). For more information about how to define job arguments, and specify their values on the command line, see Section 4.0, Understanding Grid Object Facts, Computed Facts, and Custom Facts.

A representation of a running job instance.
Defines execution on the resource.
A representation of the matrix grid object, which provides operations for retrieving and creating grid objects in the system. MatrixInfo is retrieved using the built-in getMatrix() function. Write capability is dependent on the context in which getMatrix() is called. For example, in a joblet process on a resource, creating new grid objects is not supported.
A representation of Group grid objects. Operations include retrieving the group member lists and adding/removing from the group member lists, and retrieving and setting facts on the group.
The Jobargs job performs its work by handling the following events:
In jobargs.jdl, lines 27-36 deploy the job into the grid. After jobs are deployed into the grid, they can optionally be placed in groups for organization and easy reference. In this case, the jobargs job will be added to the group named “examples”, and will show up in the Orchestration Console in the Explorer view at the location:
/Orchestration Servers/Grid_Name/Jobs/examples
For a general overview of how jobs are added to groups during deployment, see Deploying a Sample Job
in the NetIQ Cloud Manager 2.1 Orchestration Administrator Reference.
After the Jobargs job receives a job_started_event, it gets a list of all the facts available to it, as shown in line 45 of jobargs.jdl. This list is sorted, filtered according to whether or not it’s a jobarg fact, and then enumerated (lines 46-58). Each jobarg fact is printed in a “name type value” format. When the complex Dictionary type is encountered (line 52), a separate method is used to print the values for all the key-value pairs (lines 63-71).
The list of optional and required arguments for this Jobargs example are available as facts within the <jobargs> section (see lines 19-168 in jobargs.policy).
For more information about defining job arguments and their types, see Section 4.0, Understanding Grid Object Facts, Computed Facts, and Custom Facts and Section 2.3, Policies.
The Jobargs job only illustrates passing job arguments to a job. Therefore, no work is performed on the resource by the jobargsJoblet.
To run this example, you must have the Cloud Manager Orchestration Server and the Orchestration Agenet installed and configured properly. No agents on separate resources are required. You also must be logged into your Orchestration Server before you run zosadmin or zos commands.
Execute the following commands to deploy and run jobargs.job:
Deploy jobargs.job into the grid:
> zosadmin deploy jobarg.job
NOTE:Run zosadmin login to log in for zos administration.
Display the list of deployed jobs:
> zos joblist
should appear in this list.
NOTE:Run zos login to run zos client jobs.
Display the list of optional and required arguments for this job:
> zos jobinfo jobargs
Run the jobargs job and view the results.
NOTE:You must supply values for TimeArgReq, RealArgReq, StringArgReq, BooleanArgReq, IntegerArgReq, and DateArgReq as follows (see jobargs.policy for the full list of arguments that can be specified):
> zos run jobargs TimeArgReq=12:01:02 RealArgReq=3.14 StringArgReq=Hello BooleanArgReq=True IntegerArgReq=42 DateArgReq="04/05/07 7:45 AM"
> zos log jobargs
