Selecting tasks in Orchestration CLI

In Orchestration CLI you can perform actions either on a single task or on multiple tasks in the same instance. When you want to run commands on multiple tasks, instead of the task name, select the set of tasks by means of attributes and task qualifiers.

You can use task qualifiers to select more than one task at the same time. You can configure the various parameters and conditions to select specific set of tasks. You can specify the tasks as described below:

[[folder/]workstation#][[folder/]jobstreamname[hhmm[date]].jobname

or

[folder/]workstation#]jobnumber

or

jobstream_id.job;schedid [[+ | ~]jobqualifier[...]]

The details required for each parameter are given below.

[folder/]workstation#
You can specify the workstation on which the task is run. Optionally, you can specify the folder in which the workstation is defined.
[folder/]jobstreamname
You can specify the workflow in which the task is added. Optionally, you can specify the folder in which the workflow is defined.
hhmm[date]
You can specify the date and time of the workflow instance scheduled to run.
jobnumber
You can specify the task number. It is a unique number that is generated when the task begins to run.
jobstream_id;schedid
You can specify the jobstream_id that is unique for each workflow instance. When you specify thejobstream_id, make sure to add ;schedid also or else the value entered for the ID is mistaken as workflow name.
job qualifiers
You can use task qualifiers to select a specific task or set of tasks. For more information, see Task qualifiers.
