ESP Workload Automation

Hello,

I have a request from client to route Linux job on another server ( AGENT B ) if we already have 30 jobs in executing status on (AGENT A).

Can we  use something similar to

ROUTE XEQ(NODE2) if all resources are in use ? or if there is any other good option?

LINUX_JOB PAYROLL_JOB1 

 AGENT A

RESOURCE ADD(1,xyz)  /* maximum resource defined 30 */

ROUTE XEQ(AGENT B)

RUN DAILY

SCRIPTNAME testing.ksh

USER admin

ENDJOB

Thank you for your help

Hi, 

The below may not work for you but it may get you closer.  When the MAX() count is set to 30  I think it will round robin between the two servers so each ends up with 15 jobs.  There may be a way to set a server preference. In the example there are 5 servers but your example only needs two,  Also change the MAX(1)  TO  MAX(30) . 

The jobs will move to an available server.

My example is for Austria. NOTE: DPU01, 2, 3, 4, 5 are my server names.

STEPS 

Defined 5 AGENTS in AGENTDEF 

    DPU01,DPU02,DPU03,DPU04,DPU05     

Define Node

    NODE AUSTRIA ADD 

Define CPUs

    CPU DPU01 ADD NODE(AUSTRIA) AGENT(DPU01) 

    CPU DPU02 ADD NODE(AUSTRIA) AGENT(DPU02) 

    CPU DPU03 ADD NODE(AUSTRIA) AGENT(DPU03) 

    CPU DPU04 ADD NODE(AUSTRIA) AGENT(DPU04) 

    CPU DPU05 ADD NODE(AUSTRIA) AGENT(DPU05) 

Define RESDEF        

    RESDEF RESAUSTRIA ADD NODE(AUSTRIA) CPU(DPU01) LOCAL RENEWABLE GRAVITY MAX(1) 

    RESDEF RESAUSTRIA SET NODE(AUSTRIA) CPU(DPU02) MAX(1) 

    RESDEF RESAUSTRIA SET NODE(AUSTRIA) CPU(DPU03) MAX(1) 

    RESDEF RESAUSTRIA SET NODE(AUSTRIA) CPU(DPU04) MAX(1) 

    RESDEF RESAUSTRIA SET NODE(AUSTRIA) CPU(DPU05) MAX(1) 

Define JOBs similar to the one below.  Each job has ROUTING and the resource RESAUSTRIA in it.  

NT_JOB DPCMD001                                      

      RUN ANY                                           

      RESOURCE (1,RESAUSTRIA)                               

      CMDNAME "C:\PROGRAM FILES\CA\SCRIPTS\TEST.BAT"    

      AGENT DPU01 ROUTING                          

ENDJOB   

Let me know if there are any questions.

If you are willing to write some REXX you could create a SYMLIB to determine which Agent Name.to use.

In the Linux Job you would invoke the SYMLIB which would set the %AgentName

ESP Job Definition

LINUX_JOB JOB1                                    
  INVOKE '<SYMLIB>'
  AGENT %AgentName                                 
  SCRIPTNAME <script>                      
  RUN ANYDAY                                         
ENDJOB  

Let me know if you think this would work in your environment and I can show you how to set it up.
