REV SCHEDULER Conversion to Cloud.

January 25, 2022

Conversions to REV SCHEDULER are commonplace but the conversion for this Global Distribution company did have some different aspects.

  1. Conversion from On Premise Server in the Northern Hemisphere to a Cloud Server in the Southern Hemisphere.
  2. Conversion was from IBM AJS on IBM iSeries to REV SCHEDULER on LINUX.
  3. Conversion of the IBM RUNUBE commands to REV SCHEDULER REVUBEXML on LINUX.

Part of the conversion was to not have any passwords exposed as they were in the IBM AJS Scripts as in REV SCHEDULER they can be Encrypted variables (#ENC).

IBMi Command REVSCH command REVUBEXML on LINUX
E920SYS/RUNUBE /revsoft/Scheduler/Engine/REVUBEXML
/PATH='#USRJDEPATH'
USER(User_name) /USER=#USRJDEUSER
PASSWORD(Password) /PWD=#ENCJDEPASS
ENVIRON(JPD920AZ) /ENV=JPD920AZ
/ROLE=*ALL
REPORT(R60F0411) /REPORT=R60F0411
VERSION(SAU00001) /VERSION=SAU00001
JOBQ(A80FINL) /JOBQ=A80FINL
/HOLD=H
IORB(B)
OWPRINTER(OPTIO1) /PRINTER=OPTIO1
/DELETE=Y
/JDECONNECT=#USRJDECONNECT
/JDESCHEMA=#USRJDESCHEMA

The REVUBEXML command also has the /DELETE argument as the E1 Passwords are exposed in the Primary and Secondary .xml files.

/DELETE=Y will delete all the .xml files generate and used during the UBE process.

To make the conversion 100% Audit proof any IBM commands (such as DLYJOB, CALL etc.,) were converted as well - but as Comments so they would not be executed.

IBMi Command REVSCH converted command
DLYJOB DLY(5) /* DLYJOB DLY(5) */
