URL structure

http:// host_name/path/
The fully qualified name of your WebSphere Commerce Server and the configuration path.

Parameter values

langId
Sets or resets the preferred language for the duration of the session; the supported languages for a store are found in the STORELANG table.
URL
Required: The URL to be called when the command completes successfully.
name
The user on whose behalf the scheduler runs the job. This parameter is pulled from the LOGONID column in the USERREG> table.
pathInfo
The WebSphere Commerce command that executes for this job, for example: SendTransactedMsg
queryString
The parameters of the command that is to be run. All special characters, such as &, =, /, and ?, must be encoded.
start
Required: The time at which the first running of this job should occur, in the format: YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS; only the values HH:MM:SS are mandatory.
host
The name of the host allowed to run this job. If this parameter is omitted, the job can be run by any host. This parameter is only needed if the scheduler is running on multiple hosts and if a job needs to be restricted to one of them. The host name should be in the following form: name
interval
The number of seconds between successive runs of this job. If this parameter is omitted, the job is only run once.
attempts
The number of times that the scheduler retries the job, if it fails. This parameter should be used together with the delay parameter. Both parameters must be present to re-try the job.
delay
The number of seconds before a failed job is retried. This parameter should be used together with the attempts parameter. Both parameters must be present to re-try the job.
schedulePolicy
Specifies the policy to be used by the scheduler when the job has failed to run more than once. Two possible values are defined:
  • 0 - The job is run only once and the next run is scheduled for the future; this is the default.
  • 1 - The job is run as many times as necessary to recover all missed runs.
priority
The number associated with the priority of this job. This value will be inserted into the SCCPRIORITY column of the SCHCONFIG table. A greater number indicates a higher priority job.
applicationType
The type of application used to run the job being added. The purpose of this parameter is to constrain resource-intensive jobs to a limited number of threads. The application types, and the rules governing their access to resources, are defined by the user in the XML server configuration file. The default application type is null.
JobId
Required: The reference number of the scheduled job.
checkCmdId
The task command that implements the CheckForWorkCmd interface used to determine whether the command needs to be executed.
storeId
The store that owns the scheduled job.
