JP1 Version 12 JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Configuration Guide


15.2.9 Setting the method for determining the agent host to which a job will be delivered

JP1/AJS3 allows you to specify a group of execution agents as the agent host on which to execute a job (PC job other than a queueless job, Unix job other than a queueless job, flexible job#, HTTP connection job, action job other than a queueless job, or custom job) or jobnet. This allows the processing load to be distributed among the execution agents in the group.

For details about how to distribute the processing load among the execution agents by specifying a group of execution agents, see 2.3.1 Processing with a distributed load in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 System Design (Work Tasks) Guide.

When a job is delivered, if there are multiple agent hosts that have the same priority and agent usage rate, the most effective way to evenly distribute the load is to specify the execution agent that has not been used for the longest time as the agent for delivering the job.

#:

For a flexible job, replace execution agent with relay agent.

The following describes how to set the method for determining the agent host to which a job will be delivered.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Definition procedure

  1. Stop the JP1/AJS3 service.

    Execute the following commands to confirm that all processes have stopped:

    # /etc/opt/jp1ajs2/jajs_stop#1
    # /opt/jp1ajs2/bin/jajs_spmd_status
    #1:

    Confirm that automatic termination has been set.

  2. Execute the following command to set the environment setting parameter described in (2) below:

    jajs_config -k "definition-key" "parameter-name"=value
  3. Restart JP1/AJS3.

    The new settings are applied.

(2) Environment setting parameter

Table 15‒27: Environment setting parameter used to set the method for determining the agent host to which a job will be delivered

Definition key

Environment setting parameter

Explanation

  • For all scheduler services

    [{JP1_DEFAULT|logical-host}\JP1AJS2\SCHEDULER\QUEUE\MANAGER\Agent]#

  • For a specific scheduler service

    [{JP1_DEFAULT|logical-host}\JP1AJSMANAGER\scheduler-service\QUEUE\MANAGER\Agent]#

"LeastRecentlyUsed"=

Defines a method for determining the agent host to which a job will be delivered.

#:

The specification of the {JP1_DEFAULT|logical-host} part depends on whether the host is a physical host or a logical host. For a physical host, specify JP1_DEFAULT. For a logical host, specify the logical host name.

For details about the definition of this environment setting parameter, see 20.5.2(35) LeastRecentlyUsed.
