Improved Asadmin CLI Commands

The following is a list of the administration commands that have been introduced or changed from GlassFish in Payara Server to improve the JBatch API.

set-batch-runtime-configuration

Usage

asadmin> set-batch-runtime-configuration --datasourcelookupname="jdbc/default" --executorservicelookupname="concurrent __defaultManagedExecutorService" --schemaName="APP" --tablePrefix="BJP" --tableSuffix="BJS"

Aim

Configures the batch runtime storage and execution settings.

Command Options

Option Shortcut Description Default Mandatory

--target

N/A

The instance or cluster to configure

server

No

--datasourcelookupname

-d

The JNDI name of the JDBC data source used to store job information

N/A

Yes (unless executorservicelookupname is specified)

--executorservicelookupname

-x

The JNDI name of the Managed Executor Service that provides threads for the jobs execution.

N/A

Yes (unless datasourceLookupName is used)

--schemaName

-n

The database schema that holds the batch tables.

APP

No

--tablePrefix

N/A

The prefix to apply to the batch table name.

N/A

No

--tableSuffix

N/A

Sets the suffix to apply to the batch table name.

N/A

No

Example

The following command will set the data source, and the prefix and suffix for the DAS:

asadmin > set-batch-runtime-configuration --target="server"
            --datasourcelookupname="jdbc/BatchJobsDS"
            --tablePrefix="BATCHJ_" --tableSuffix="_JB"

purge-Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-repository

Usage

asadmin> purge-Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-repository <apptag>

Aim

Purges the current JBatch repository of all jobs scheduled for the referenced application’s tag. The application’s tag is structured like this:

<Configuration Identifier>:<Application Name>__/<Application Name>

Where Configuration Identifier is the identifier of the configuration associated to the instance or cluster where the application is deployed and Application Name is the name of the deployed application.

Command Options

There are no options available.

Example

To remove all current jobs for an application named Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-test deployed on the DAS (server-config) then run the following command:

asadmin > purge-Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-repository "server-config:Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-test__/Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-test"
The command will remove all current jobs created by the referenced application whether these jobs are running or not.
If you are having trouble finding the application’s tag for your application, you can get it programmatically on a Java EE application by using the following code: 
import com.ibm.Jakarta EE API/JBatch API.container.servicesmanager.ServicesManager;
import com.ibm.Jakarta EE API/JBatch API.container.servicesmanager.ServicesManagerImpl;
import com.ibm.Jakarta EE API/JBatch API.container.services.IPersistenceManagerService;
...

JobOperator jobOperator = getJobOperator();
Long executionId = jobOperator.start("job-name", new Properties());

ServicesManager manager = ServicesManagerImpl.getInstance();
IPersistenceManagerService ps = manager.getPersistenceManagerService();
String applicationTag = ps.getJobCurrentTag(jobid);

You need to add a dependency to IBM’s JBatch runtime to your project to access the classes mentioned:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.ibm.Jakarta EE API/JBatch API</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.ibm.Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-runtime-all</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

clean-Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-repository

Usage::`asadmin> clean-Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-repository --status COMPLETED|ALL --days <int.value> <JobName>` Aim:: The clean-Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-repository subcommand deletes records of job executions.

Command Options

Option Type Description Default Mandatory

--status

  • ALL

  • COMPLETED

The status of batch jobs executions to which delete the records of. If ALL then all job executions will be deleted, regardless of status. If COMPLETED only job executions that successfully completed will be deleted.

COMPLETED

No

--days

Integer

The number of days previous that the end time of the job execution must be to get deleted.

1

No

Example

The following command will delete all Batch jobs that were executed before 7 days ago.

asadmin > clean-Jakarta EE API/JBatch API-repository --status=ALL --days=7 testjob

list-batch-jobs

Usage

asadmin> list-batch-jobs --output jobname,appname,instancecount,instanceid,executionid,batchstatus,starttime,endtime,exitstatus --limit <long value> --offset <long.value> --header true|false <JobName>

Aim

Lists batch jobs and information about them.

Command Options

Option Shortcut Description Default Mandatory

--target

N/A

The instance or cluster to configure

server

No

--long

-l

Shows detailed information about batch jobs

false

No

--output

-0

Available values are:

  • jobname

  • appname

  • instancecount

  • instanceid

  • executionid

  • batchstatus

  • starttime

  • endtime

  • exitstatus

jobname and instancecount information are displayed by default

No

--header

-h

Option to choose whether column heading should be displayed or not

false

No

--limit

N/A

Set number of rows of batch jobs to display

N/A
