1191.0. "How to setup a remote job between VMS Server and Agent" by HTSC04::WILLIAMCHAN () Wed Nov 27 1996 01:23

Hello,

	I ask for help here because I didn't find any instruction on how
	to configure a remote job from TIMA, Notes entry and manual.

	AXP/VMS V6.1 and Scheduler server installed with V2.1B-7

	VAX/VMS V6.1 and Scheduler agent installed with V 2.1B-9

	UCX installed on both machines.

	Q1. Is it possible to install Server software on one VMS machine
	and Agent software on another VMS machine?

	Q2. Customer just want to create a job on server side and issue
	the job to run on agent node (i.e. to use the agent node's 
	resource such as CPU, I/O, memory).

	Q3. If Q1's requirement is fulfilled, are there any steps we need
	to do? Or can anyone put an "worked" example here for us as a 
	guideline?

	Thanks for any help.

Best regards,
William-TK

    re:-1
    
     Q1 - Yes you can place the scheduler server on one node and the
          agent on another node. That's what the agent software is
          for.
     Q2 - You create a job on the server node and  schedule it as 
          /mode=rmoteremote (not batch or detached). You also speicfy 
          /remote_node as the agent username @ nodename. The VMS_Command
          is a procedureto run on the agent node. The job runs on the 
          agent node and reports status back to the scheduler server node.
     Q3 - I believe the procedure is docuemented in the release notes.
          But basic steps are:
    
        (assuming ucx is installed)
        1 Install scheduler server specifying remote support.
        2 install the agent software on remote node.
        3 define the logical nsched$remote_support_enable "TRUE" /sys/exec
          on the server node.
        4 Make sure you can ping the remote node and the remote node
          can ping the server node.
        5 Setup the decnet object SCHED$DECNET - specified in the release
          notes.(might be sched_decnet)
        6 setup a proxy on the agent node servernode::username username
          /default
        7 create a procedure on the agent node and specify that procedure
          name in the VMS_Command on the server job.
        8 create a job on the server /mode=remote/remote=username@agent
    
     I believe that should cover it.
