Interacting with a scheduler

[Jehan99]

Hi,

It seems that Spring Batch is asynchrnous as the following experiment which I did shows (if this assumption is wrong please correct me)...

System.out.println("Before calling job launcher");
launcher.run(job, new JobParametersBuilder().addLong("jobId",jobId).toJobParameters());
System.out.println("After calling job launcher");

When I ran this code both my sys outs printed before my job ran. Here is the output from my console..

10/12/11 10:19:41:020 EDT] 00000029 SystemOut     O Before calling job launcher
[10/12/11 10:19:41:168 EDT] 00000029 SystemOut     O After calling job launcher
[10/12/11 10:19:41:168 EDT] 00000030 SimpleJobLaun I org.springframework.batch.core.launch.support.SimpleJobLauncher$1 run Job: [FlowJob: [name=oracleJob]] launched with the following parameters: [{jobId=152}]
[10/12/11 10:19:41:220 EDT] 00000030 SimpleStepHan I org.springframework.batch.core.job.SimpleStepHandler handleStep Executing step: [loadARFile]
[10/12/11 10:19:48:954 EDT] 00000030 SimpleStepHan I org.springframework.batch.core.job.SimpleStepHandler handleStep Executing step: [writeGCMFile]
[10/12/11 10:20:02:301 EDT] 00000030 SimpleJobLaun I org.springframework.batch.core.launch.support.SimpleJobLauncher$1 run Job: [FlowJob: [name=oracleJob]] completed with the following parameters: [{jobId=152}] and the following status: [COMPLETED]

So if SB is asynchronous then how can it be managed by an outside scheduler (like Quartz or CA workload autmoation). How can the scheduler know that job A is done and now I have to kick off job B?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Hi Jehan,

u can use the commandline to execute the job.

u can make a bat or shell script using that commandline, and use that script as the source for autosys/CA.
