5.4.9 The Network Job Takes a While to End

Applicable versions and levels

Check all applicable actions below to resolve the issue.

Action1

Points to check

Cause

The mechanism is that, after the request to start the network job is made by the schedule server to the execution server, the job runs on the execution server, and when the job ends, a completion notification is sent from the execution server to the schedule server.

The completion notification of the network job cannot be sent by the execution server in the following cases:

However, schedule server checks the job status of the execution server at fixed intervals, therefore the schedule server is able to recognize that a job has ended.

For this reason, there may actually be a delay from the end of the job on the execution server until the schedule server recognizes this.

Action method

Using the IP address obtained by resolving the name from the schedule server host name on the execution server, take action so that the connection can be made with the schedule server.

If the schedule server is in a cluster configuration, and Systemwalker Operation Manager is one of the following version levels, the problem can be resolved by registering a logical IP address on the schedule server:

When registering a logical IP address, use the following procedure to set this IP address on all schedule servers configured in the cluster system, both active and standby.

  1. Open the Cluster settings tab of the Define Operating Information window, which will be displayed when Operation information is clicked in the Systemwalker Operation Manager Environment Setup window.

  2. Select Register the logical IP address, and register the logical IP address of the cluster.

  3. Save the operating information definition, and then restart the Job Execution Control service/daemon.

Information

The logical IP address is used as the recipient of the job completion notification.

By registering the logical IP address of the cluster, even if the schedule server fails over while the network job is being executed and switches to the standby server, the execution server can send the job completion notification to the schedule server.

Action 2

Points to check

Does the Systemwalker Operation Manager startup account match on the schedule server and the execution server?

Cause

[Windows versions]

If it takes a while until the network job ends, the Systemwalker Operation Manager startup account may not match on the schedule server and the execution server. In this case, the network job completion notification cannot be sent, therefore the schedule server cannot recognize that the job has ended until it checks (at fixed intervals) the status of the job on the execution server.

Action method

Unify the Systemwalker Operation Manager startup account on the schedule server and the execution server.

Refer to the notes in the following manual for information on how to change the startup account.

Refer to the following manual for information on how to change the startup account.

Action 3

Points to check

Has the jmnet port number (9352) communication between the execution server and the schedule server been blocked by a firewall?

Cause

The jmnet port number (9352) communication may have been blocked by a firewall.

Action method

Configure the firewall settings so that the jmnet port number (9352) communication is possible.
