Check if job is already running

CloverDX Platform

Hi,

While running a job in Clover ETL server, i need to check if another instance of that job is already running or not.
Is there anyway to check that ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

yes you can check that using our Simple HTTP API. The operation that you can use for listing information about executed tasks is executions_history. You can call this operation using HTTPConnector. For more information about Simple HTTP API, please refer to our documentation: http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/UserGuide/index.jsp?topic=/com.cloveretl.server.docs/docs/simple-http-api.html

Apart that, you can limit number of max concurrent jobs of the same graph. In order to do this, set max_running_concurrently property in Config properties (see the screenshot below).

The list of properties is also printed in our documentation: http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/ … rties.html

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jan for your quick response and valuable input.

Is there anyway to persist this information in some files for that specific job?

For example:
the Job “ABC” in sandbox “S1” will have:
executor.max_running_concurrently = 1

The job “CDE” in sandbox “S2” will have:
executor.max_running_concurrently = 0

I went through this link, but it was providing only solution at runtime from eclipse:
http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/ … tings.html

And this post was about generic settings:

Could you please guide me on how to set this configuration specific to the job and the sandbox?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Scl,

unfortunately the max_running_concurrently property can only be set in the Server GUI.
