Checking The Running Jobs inside from another Job in NW Java Scheduler

[sugata_bagchi2]

Hi Experts,

I have written one java class which will split the file in a certain location. I have scheduled this Java class to be executed by a Job in NW scheduler.

My question is , is it possible to check if there are any instance of a particular Job definition is running inside from another job?

For e.g - lets say I have created one Job Definition and scheduled a Task which should execute in every 5 minutes.
Now let us assume each job can take 15 minutes to complete, so when Job1 will start it will start splitting the file and after 5 minutes the Job2 will start.
So is there a way to check from Job2 if Job1 is completed? or any instance of the same Job definition is running in the Scheduler?

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks

Hi Sugata,

Have you checked the Job Scheduler API?

The Scheduler interface provides a method to retrieve Jobs by a JobFilter (It is possible to set the JobDefinition).

Example from the SAP Scheduler Javadoc:

JobIterator iter = scheduler.getJobs(myFilter, null, 1000);
Job[] jobs = iter.nextChunk();
// do something with the returned job ojbects
while(iter.hasMoreChunks()) {
  iter = scheduler.getJobs(myFilter, iter, 1000);
  Job[] jobs = iter.nextChunk();
  // do something with the returned job objects
  //
}

Regards,
