Submitting jobs to manage applications

In a flexible management environment, you can submit jobs to install and administer enterprise applications on managed nodes of the job manager and to uninstall files from nodes. An enterprise application is an enterprise archive (EAR) file that conforms to Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) specifications.

Before you begin

Before submitting a job, start the job manager and the target nodes. If a target node is a stand-alone application server, also start the administrative agent.

Your ID at the job manager must be authorized for the administrator role or the operator role to submit jobs. When you submit a job, you can specify a user name and password for authentication and authorization at the target node or nodes. When you submit a job to multiple target nodes, the user name and password or the credentials for the submitter must be applicable to all of the job targets.

Before you can install an application, you must run a job that copies the enterprise application file to managed nodes. Remember any destination value that is specified when distributing the file. See the topic on the distribute file job.

About this task

The topics in this section describe how to install and administer enterprise application files by running jobs in the job manager console.

Instead of using the job manager console, you can run jobs in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.

Procedure

What to do next

On the Job status page, click the ID of the job and view the job status. If the job is not successful, view any error messages that result from running the job, correct the error condition, and submit the job again.
