ActiveBatch Command Line

This section describes the command line commands you can issue that apply primarily to managing ActiveBatch Queues (stop, start, open close) and Jobs (trigger, restart, pause, release, etc.). These are ABAT commands that are run on the command line. The command line interface does not provide access to the entire set of ActiveBatch functionality. For programmatic access you can review the ActiveBatch V12 COM User’s Guide.

 

Also included in this section are ABAT utilities (separate applications) that interact with the ActiveBatch environment to accomplish a specific task. For example, if you have purchased the ActiveBatch non-cluster failover license, a high availability solution for the Job Scheduler, there is a separate utility named Abatavlmgr that provides commands you can use to manage your failover environment (e.g. stop a Scheduler, failover to a secondary Scheduler, etc.). Another utility example is named abatset, which is a command line utility that you call from ActiveBatch to pass variables and/or parameters to downstream Jobs on a completion trigger, and/or update Plan variables.
