A job configuration is a piece of XML that defines parameters on how the job should execute its tasks. For instance, the configuration could define a retry behavior in case of a failure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties>
<entry key="WaitPeriodDays">2</entry>
<entry key="MaxRetries">5</entry>
</properties>
This example illustrates a fictitious job where, in case of a failure, the system waits for two days before running the job again. When the job fails for the fifth time in a row, this is reported as an error and the job is marked as “failed”.
This job example is not part of a standard ImageMaster environment but similar jobs can be encountered in customized scenarios.
The job configuration of each non-system job can be altered via the ImageMaster AdminClient directly.
