Hi,

Where can I find a good AutoSys User Guide so that I can get all the details on those AutoSys commands like "sendevent" and "autorep"?


Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

I have the requirement to transfer jobs from cron to Autosys.

(1) Would like to know the steps to move one cron job to Autosys.
(2) Using Autosys, can I execute unix jobs of different servers?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you could call the unix comands in Autosys, Profile is the most important attribute for any job to be executed, please make sure the environmental variable's are specified properly.
cron2jil is the command which you would have to run, after sourcing autosys on the machine you are working, you could run this command.
Autosys does not take the calendar values of the cron jobs,
Please make sure that you dont include a file which has lot of cron jobs for conversion as it may lead to issues.
For all the values you have charecter limit in autosys jil which should also be taken care of

Hi,

Use cron2jil feature. For more info check your manual or just type "man cron2jil" on the command line -- offcourse after setting up your profile.

e.g: if you have a crontab file called file1. Try the following..

>cron2jil -f file1

this will create a file1.jil file in the present directory.
