JORS configuration

What is it?​

JORS (Job Output Retrieval System) allows OpCon to retrieve and display the output of Symitar batch jobs run through RSJ. The SQL Server configuration parameter max text repl size limits the maximum size of job output that OpCon can accept and store in its database. For jobs that produce large output files (such as GOODNIGHT), the default limit of 65,536 characters may not be sufficient.

  • Configure this setting when job output is being truncated in the OpCon interface.
  • Increase the value if large Symitar jobs such as GOODNIGHT exceed the viewable limit.

Configuration​

To increase the maximum job output size that OpCon can store, run the following SQL command against the OpCon database:

Example
sp_configure 'max text repl size','600000'
RECONFIGURE

The maximum value for this configuration parameter is 2147483647.

Workaround for older OpCon versions​

Versions of OpCon before 4.0 contain a bug that prevents users from viewing all job output from Symitar jobs. Most jobs display without issue, but jobs with very large output files (such as GOODNIGHT) may exceed the maximum viewable limit. To work around this issue, create a shell script:

cat "/ops/bin/RSJ 0 GOODNIGHT|tee /tmp/GOODNIGHT.OUT" >/tmp/GOODNIGHT.KSH
chmod ugo+x /tmp/GOODNIGHT.KSH

In the start image line in OpCon, use: /bin/ksh /tmp/GOODNIGHT.KSH

When the job runs, the output is copied to /tmp/GOODNIGHT.OUT and STDOUT. Use a text editor such as vi to view the output.
