3.11.2 Start job net

Description

This operation component starts the job net registered in the linked product of a server.

Options

Basic Options

(1) hostname

Host name or IP address of the server that will start job net.

To execute the operation component on the Management Server, specify the following:

  • For IPv4: 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'

  • For IPv6: 'localhost' or '::1'

An argument error occurs if the host name or IP address is omitted.

The maximum length of the host name or IP address is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(2) jobnetname

Name of the job net that will be started.

An argument error occurs if the name of the job net is omitted.

The maximum length of the name of the job net is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

Advanced Options

(1) projectname

Specify the project name where the job net information is to be stored. This can be omitted if there is only one project registered on the job net that the executing user can operate.

This option is effective when the linked product is System Operation Manager only.

The maximum length of the project name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(2) subsystem

This option is for specifying the subsystem to be operated in systems that are operating multiple subsystems. Specify the subsystem number (between 0 and 9) that will be operated. If this option is omitted, sub system number 0 will be operated.

This option is effective when the linked product is System Operation Manager only.

An argument error occurs if the value that exceeded 0 to 9 was input.

(3) username

Name of the user connecting with SSH to the host that will start the job net.

If the connected user name and password required for connection are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is searched based on the specified host name or IP address and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired connected user name as the value.

If the operation component connects with the file transfer infrastructure, the connected user name will be fixed at either of the following names and cannot be changed. In this case, the user name is ignored even if specified.

  • If the Business Server is running on Windows: SYSTEM user

  • If the Business Server is running on Linux or Solaris: root

The maximum length of the connected user name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(4) password

Password of the user connecting with SSH to the host that will start the job net.

If the connected user name and password required for connection are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) will be searched based on the specified host name or IP address, and then Systemwalker Runbook Automation will automatically set the acquired connected user password as the value.

When connecting by using the file transfer infrastructure, it becomes invalid even if the password of the user is specified.

The maximum length of the connected user password is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(5) execusername

Name of the user starting the job net on the host where the job net is to be started.

If the "execusername" and "execpassword" are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) will be searched based on the specified host name or IP address, and then Systemwalker Runbook Automation will automatically sets the acquired administrator user as the value.

If not to register to CMDB, it is executed by name of the user connecting.

If the host specified in "hostname" is running on Windows and it connects with file transfer infrastructure, execute the command as a SYSTEM user. In this case, the connected user name is invalid.

The maximum length of the executing user name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(6) execpassword

This operation component does not use the value of "execpassword". The value of "execpassword" is ignored even if specified.

(7) ostype

OS type of the host that will start the job net.

Specify Windows, Linux or Solaris. This option is not case sensitive.

If the OS type is omitted, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) will be searched based on the specified host name or IP address, and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired OS type as the value.

The maximum length of the OS type is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(8) mwtype

Name of the job management product for the linked product.

Specify "OMGR". This option is not case sensitive.

If the job management product name is omitted, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) will be searched based on the specified host name or IP address, and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired job management product name as the value. Only Systemwalker Operation Manager can be specified as a linked product with this operation component.

The maximum length of the job management product name that can be specified is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(9) mwinstalledpath

Specify the command installation path for the linked product.

If the command installation path is omitted, the command installation path of the Systemwalker Operation Manager is set.

Only Systemwalker Operation Manager can be specified as a linked product with this operation component.

The maximum length of the installation path that can be specified is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(10) timeout

This is the completion timeout (seconds) for the execution of operation components.

Values between 0 and 86400 (1 day) can be specified.

For example: When timeout is to occur every 10 minutes: 600

When the execution of the operation components is not completed even if the specified time passes, the processing of the operation components is stopped in return value 201.

(11) retry

This is the retry count for the execution of operation components.

Specify the count that will be retried when the operation component is finished in return value 161. Values between 0 and 5 can be specified.

When the operation components is terminated in return values other than 161 as a result of the retrying, the operation components will be terminated even if it doesn't reach the specified retry counts. The return value of the operation components returns the value executed at the end.

For example: When retries are to be performed twice: 2

(12) retry_interval

This is the retry interval (seconds) for operation components.

Specify the interval that will be retried when the operation component is terminated in return value 161. Values between 1 and 14400 can be specified.

For example: When retries are to be performed at 300 seconds interval: 300


If the specification of the timeout, retry and retry_interval is omitted, and a value beyond the limits of the above-mentioned is input, the value specified with the operation components definition file becomes effective. Refer to "2.5 Definition File for Operation Components" for details.

Name

Return value

Description

Success

0

Start of the job net was successful.

159

The job net to be started was not found.

161

Failed the start of the job net. When the retry count is specified, it will be retried.

187

Authentication failed when an attempt was made to connect to the server over the network (using SSH).

Alternatively, an error occurred during the processing of communications with the server (file transfer infrastructure). In this case, the error code for the file transfer infrastructure is output to the execution results. Refer to "3.21 Detailed Code of File Transfer Infrastructure" for information on error codes.

188

When the operation of the operation component are executing to the server into which the RBA Agents have not been introduced, the network communication (SSH communication) with the server was disconnected.

189

An attempt to connect to the server over a network (using SSH) failed.

Alternatively, an error occurred during the processing of communications with the server (file transfer infrastructure). In this case, the error code for the file transfer infrastructure is output to the execution results. Refer to "3.21 Detailed Code of File Transfer Infrastructure" for information on error codes.
