Local or Remote Commands to Wait,Terminate or Proceed with Job Queue / Multi-Row

[duffkess]

Hi, I am currently evaluating a Batchpatch Project.

I am wondering if I could create a local command which checks something (in my case the monitoring status of a specific host) with a script.

In the script then I can decide based on the monitoring status to return either exitcode 0, 1 or anything else. Is it possible to use this output for the Job Queue and the Multi-Row Sequence?

So like :

local check returns 1 > wait 1 minuten and try again

local check returns 0 > is ok, proceed

local check returns 2 > cant find server, abort or terminate

Is this somehow possible?

thanks!

Yes, you can do this in BatchPatch. Your job queue would look something like this:

Step 1: Run the local command, which executes your script. The script must have a built-in function to wait 1 minute and loop and try again if the result is 1.

Step 2: Use one of the following special job queue items, depending on your needs. Failure/error is any non-0 return value from your script. If your script returns 0 then step 3 will execute. If the script returns a non-0 value then step 2 will terminate according to which item below you have used in the job queue:

*Terminate queue if previous actions fails/errors (terminates just the job queue for just the executing row in the grid. The rest of the multi-row sequence will continue.)

*Abort basic multi-row sequence if previous action fails/errors (terminates the entire basic multi-row sequence)

*Abort advanced multi-row sequence if previous action fails/errors (terminates the entire advanced multi-row sequence)

I hope this helps.
