Control-M Job Example | Generated by AI

Home PDF

Creating a complex control-M script involves defining a job flow that includes various steps, dependencies, and conditions. Control-M is a job scheduling tool used to automate batch processing. Below is an example of a Control-M job definition that simulates a Java Spring Boot project deployment with configuration, datasource setup, and running on a WebSphere Liberty server.

Control-M Job Definition Example

*** Job: DEPLOY_SPRING_BOOT
*** Type: OS
*** Description: Deploy Spring Boot Application
*** Application: SPRING_BOOT
*** Sub-Application: DEPLOY
*** Member: DEPLOY_SPRING_BOOT
*** Run-As: <USER>
*** Priority: HIGH
*** Max Wait: 1
*** Max Run Alarm: 1
*** Condition: ON(DO(CONFIGURE_DATASOURCE))
*** Notify: <EMAIL>
***
*** COMMAND:
*** /path/to/deploy-script.sh

Explanation:

  1. Job Definition:
    • Job Name: DEPLOY_SPRING_BOOT - The name of the job.
    • Type: OS - Indicates this is an operating system job.
    • Description: A brief description of what the job does.
    • Application and Sub-Application: Logical groupings for the job.
    • Member: The specific job member.
    • Run-As: The user under which the job will run.
    • Priority: The priority of the job.
    • Max Wait: Maximum time to wait before the job starts.
    • Max Run Alarm: Maximum runtime before an alarm is triggered.
    • Condition: The job will run only if the CONFIGURE_DATASOURCE job completes successfully.
    • Notify: Email address to notify upon job completion or failure.
  2. Command:
    • The command to execute, in this case, a shell script (deploy-script.sh) that handles the deployment process.

Deployment Script (deploy-script.sh)

#!/bin/bash

# Set environment variables
export SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb
export SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME=root
export SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD=password

# Navigate to the application directory
cd /path/to/spring-boot-app

# Build the Spring Boot application
./mvnw clean install

# Deploy to WebSphere Liberty server
/path/to/wlp/bin/server run defaultServer

Explanation of the Script:

  1. Environment Variables:
    • Set the datasource configuration for the Spring Boot application.
  2. Navigate to Application Directory:
    • Change to the directory where the Spring Boot application is located.
  3. Build the Application:
    • Use Maven to clean and install the application, ensuring all dependencies are resolved.
  4. Deploy to WebSphere Liberty:
    • Start the WebSphere Liberty server with the default configuration.

Additional Control-M Jobs

You might need additional jobs to handle other parts of the deployment process, such as:

Example of CONFIGURE_DATASOURCE Job

*** Job: CONFIGURE_DATASOURCE
*** Type: OS
*** Description: Configure Datasource for Spring Boot Application
*** Application: SPRING_BOOT
*** Sub-Application: CONFIG
*** Member: CONFIGURE_DATASOURCE
*** Run-As: <USER>
*** Priority: HIGH
*** Max Wait: 1
*** Max Run Alarm: 1
*** Notify: <EMAIL>
***
*** COMMAND:
*** /path/to/configure-datasource.sh

Example of configure-datasource.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Configure datasource settings
echo "Configuring datasource..."
# Add commands to configure the datasource

This setup provides a basic framework for deploying a Spring Boot application using Control-M. You can expand it with more jobs and conditions to handle complex deployment scenarios.
