Organization of this subsection

(1) Function to define service linkage job information

This function is to define service linkage job information. It is available on the website screen of JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications.

With JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications, linkage with a cloud service by using a command line interface (CLI) that can coordinate with the cloud service is assumed. The service linkage job information defines and use this CLI information.

Service linkage job information consists of the following three pieces of information:

Cloud service linkage connection information

This information is on the interface for connecting to the cloud service. For example, the login command and an option for logging in with the user's login information specified as the option fall within this category. This information can be shared with service linkage monitoring job information.

This information is hereafter referred to as service linkage connection information or abbreviated as connection information. In addition, the definition of service linkage connection information is abbreviated as the connection definition.

Cloud service linkage authentication information

This information is necessary for an interface for connecting a cloud service. For example, a username and a password used for authenticating a user account fall under this category. This information can be shared with service linkage monitoring job information.

This information is hereafter referred to as service linkage authentication information or abbreviated as authentication information. In addition, definition of service linkage authentication information is abbreviated as authentication definition.

Cloud service linkage execution information

This is information on an interface for using a cloud service after connection of the cloud service. For example, an execution command and options for executing processing by calling a server-less service, and a result check command and options for checking the result of the processing of the service that was executed fall under this category. This information is hereafter referred to as service linkage execution information or abbreviated as execution information. In addition, definition of service linkage execution information is abbreviated as execution definition.

(2) Function to define service linkage monitoring job information

This function is used to define service linkage monitoring job information. It is available on the Web screen of JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications.

As with service linkage job information, linkage with a cloud service by using a command line interface (CLI) that can coordinate with the cloud service (enabling the user to verify service status and information over the cloud) is assumed. The service linkage monitoring job information defines and uses this CLI information.

Service linkage monitoring job information consists of the following three pieces of information:

Cloud service linkage connection information

This information is on the interface for connecting to the cloud service. For details, see the description provided for service linkage job information. This information can be shared with service linkage job information.

Cloud service linkage authentication information

This information is necessary for an interface for connecting to a cloud service. For details, see the description provided for service linkage job information. This information can be shared with service linkage job information.

Cloud service linkage monitoring information

This is information on an interface for retrieving and monitoring cloud service status updates and information after connecting to the cloud service. For example, this includes execution commands and options for retrieving file object information from the cloud, and information on the intervals at which the execution results are checked to satisfy monitoring requirements.

This information is hereafter referred to as service linkage monitoring information and abbreviated as monitoring information. In addition, the definition of service linkage monitoring information is abbreviated as monitoring definition.

As the information used as monitoring conditions vary depending on the cloud service being monitored, the abovementioned cloud service linkage monitoring information requires that monitoring information be defined for each cloud service.

The types of monitoring information that can be defined with JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications are summarized in the table below.

Table 1‒1: List of monitoring information that can be defined with JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications
Name of service being monitored	Name of monitoring information	Description
Object storage service	Cloud service linkage object monitoring information	The interface information for monitoring objects on the cloud. Jobs executed using this information are called service linkage objects monitoring jobs. Hereafter service linkage objects monitoring information, or abbreviated as object monitoring information. In addition, the service linkage object monitoring information definition is abbreviated as object monitoring definition.

(4) Function to register service linkage monitoring job information as a custom event job

This function registers service linkage monitoring job information as a custom event job of JP1/AJS3.

By registering service linkage monitoring job information defined with JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications as a custom event job from JP1/AJS3 - View, it can be defined as a service linkage monitoring job on JP1/AJS3.

(5) Function to execute service linkage job with JP1/AJS3

This function is to execute a service linkage job with JP1/AJS3.

A service linkage job is executed based on information registered as a custom job and service linkage job information that was obtained from the JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications server when the job was executed.

(6) Function to execute service linkage monitoring job with JP1/AJS3

This function is to execute a service linkage monitoring job with JP1/AJS3.

A service linkage monitoring job is executed as a custom event job based on information defined for the custom event job, and service linkage monitoring job information that was obtained from the JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications server when the job was executed.
