1、JM, Job ManagerContentsFunction Description User Guide Overview The Job Manager (JM) is used to configure and run jobs on Network Elements in the Core Network and to support configuration management of Network Elements in the Core Network.The Job Manager enables an OSS-RC user to monitor the progres

2、s of Jobs initiated in OSS-RC. The Job Manager also enables OSS-RC users to create Jobs that could be executed towards the core network.The purpose of these features was to save time for Operators - the Job Manager provides the capability to quickly determine the status of Jobs executing in OSS-RC,

3、and to automate, by providing scheduling information for example, Jobs which would otherwise be done manually.Function Description A Job is a series of activities that can be executed to fulfill a work order. An activity executes a single task, for example, to initiate a measurement job on the NE.In

4、 the context of the Job Manager application, the architecture of a job is as follows:Job - contains one or more activities. A job cannot contain other jobs. Jobs do not have other dependencies, that is, they run independently of other jobs. Activity - is a component of a Job. An activity may have a

5、dependency on another activity within the same job. An activity executes a single task. Task - is the basic building block within an Activity. It contains parameters that are set for a particular activity. A task operates on a single network element. A task contains no timing information.All tasks a

6、re stored as predefined tasks in the Job Manager and these tasks are used to run jobs on specified network elements. The Job Editor List GUI is used to assign tasks to a job. Each Job contains one or more tasks and a flow for creating a job as displayed in the figure above.The main user interfaces f

7、or CPT are the Task Editor, Job Editor List, and Job Supervisor.Job OverviewDefinitionsJobA job is the highest level container in OSS-RC Job Manager and can contain one or more activities. A job cannot contain other jobs. Jobs do not have interdependencies.ActivityAn activity is a component of a job

8、. An activity may have dependencies on another activity within the same job. An activity consists of a single task.TaskA task is the basic building block within an activity. It contains parameters that may be set for a particular activity. A task can only run against one network element. A task cont

9、ains no timing information.Job ParameterA Job parameter can be read/set by a script associated with an Activity. A Job parameter has the following format: parameter name and parameter value. A Job parameter can be set and read by all activities in a Job. It is used to pass information between Activi

10、ties in the same Job.Job CategoryA Job Category is the highest level container that can contain jobs. Job Categories are created to group relevant jobs together.At least one job category has to be available as jobs must be stored in a job category.A new Task Category needs to be created before attem

11、pting to launch the Job Editor GUI. A new task needs to added after creating the Task Category.Job Manager is split into three main applications: Job Supervisor Job Editor Task EditorOther Job Manager applications include: BatchInstaller Job Administration Command Line InterfaceTask EditorThe Task E

12、ditor is a component of the Job Manager application. It is used to add, edit and manage tasks in the OSS. The Task Editor is linked to a task server which contains a database of management tasks. Tasks are the building blocks of Activities and Jobs. Job EditorThe purpose of the Job Editor is to enab

13、le users to create and edit jobs. The Job Editor is a component of the Job Creation Environment (JCE), which consists of the Job Editor and the Job Editor List (which lists the jobs). Job SupervisorThe Job Supervisor is used to view the component details that make up the job, view the status of a jo

14、b, schedule a job or terminate jobs. There is an option to filter the information displayed in the GUI, enabling you to display only Job information relevant to you. There is also an option to view a Job log, which shows details of jobs and details of activities. Job SupervisorThe operator uses the

15、Job Supervisor to interface with the system to manage Jobs and Activity execution.The Job Supervisor shows job and activity status.The main operations performed on jobs and activities in the Job Supervisor are: Monitoring Scheduling (of already scheduled jobs from the Job Editor List. Jobs in the st

16、ates Failed, Completed or Terminated can be re-scheduled.) Termination and Deletion (Jobs that are no longer required can be deleted. A job must be terminated or completed before it can be deleted.)Job EditorThere are two GUI components used for Job Editing. They are the Job Editor and Job Editor Li

17、st.When a job is being scheduled from this GUI, the option to keep a master copy of the job will be given. If a decision is made to keep a master copy then a copy is made of the job and the copy of the job is first scheduled and then added to the Job Supervisor list. The master copy remains in the J

18、ob Editor List. If a decision is made not to keep a master copy, then a copy of the job is then made and the copy of the job is first scheduled and then added to the Job Supervisor list. The master copy is then deleted from the Job Editor List.Job EditorThis component is used to define new jobs and

19、activities and to modify existing jobs and activities and to assign a task to each activity. The relationships between the individual activities in a job are also defined here.Job Editor ListThis GUI list Jobs that are created. Jobs can be deleted, copied and scheduled from this GUI. Job Categories

20、can also be created, edited and deleted. Import and export of Jobs and tasks to a file can be performed from this GUI.

41、User Guide - Job Supervisor Explaining Check PointsCheck points are often included in a job. Check points are a break, or pause, in activity and are used by the operator for a number of reasons. These can include the following: To check that a number of activities have executed successfully before s

42、tarting the next stage of a job. To pause a job after a certain number of activities in the job are completed. To synchronize activities that are being executed on a number of network elements. A job can run on more than one network element at the same time. If activities in a job are running on two

43、 network elements and the activities are executed more quickly on one of the network elements, the check point can be used to synchronize the activities before continuing to execute.There are a number of actions that can be taken at a check point, illustrated as follows:User Guide - Job Editor List

44、The purpose of the Job Editor List GUI is to enable users to list, schedule, import, export, copy, cut and paste jobs.Note: The operations you can perform using the Job Editor List depends on your user permission settings, determined by the system administrator. The Job Editor List is a component of

45、 the overall Job Manager application. The Job Editor List GUI has a main window which has a menu bar along the top and the window is divided into two panes. The upper pane shows a category list. Within each category are the jobs, listed in a tree structure. When a job is selected the detailed inform
