Extend Job API to execute JVM Jobs (JITL, Java)

Current Situation

• Users can add JVM jobs of type JITL, Java and JavaScript to their workflows.

Desired Behavior

• Users would like to use JavaScript for pre-processing and post-processing of JVM jobs.
• The JS7 Job API offers a method to execute JITL and Java JVM jobs from JavaScript jobs:

  class JS7Job extends js7.Job {
  	processOrder(js7Step) {
  		js7Step.getLogger().info("calling JITL FileExistsJob");
  		js7Step.executeJob(com.sos.jitl.jobs.file.FileExistsJob);
  
  		js7Step.getLogger().info("calling JITL PLSQLJob");      
  		js7Step.executeJob(com.sos.jitl.jobs.db.oracle.PLSSQLJob);
  	}
  }
  

• Any matching arguments of the current job are forwarded to the job invoked by executeJob(<job>).
• Users can map arguments individually like this:

  class JS7Job extends js7.Job {
  
      processOrder(js7Step) {
  	  js7Step.getLogger().info("call PLSQLJob");
  	
            //1 - Arguments as JavaScript Map
            var jsMap = new Map();
            jsMap.set('result_file', '/tmp/jsMap.xml');
            js7Step.executeJob(com.sos.jitl.jobs.db.oracle.PLSQLJob.class, jsMap);
        
            //2 - Arguments as Java Map
            var javaMap =  new java.util.HashMap();
            javaMap.put('result_file', '/tmp/javaMap.xml');
            js7Step.executeJob(com.sos.jitl.jobs.db.oracle.PLSQLJob.class, javaMap);
        
            //3 - Arguments as <n> Java JobArguments
            var my_resultset_as = new com.sos.js7.job.JobArgument("resultset_as", false, "csv");
            var my_result_file = new com.sos.js7.job.JobArgument("result_file", false, "/tmp/my_result_file.csv");
            js7Step.executeJob(com.sos.jitl.jobs.db.oracle.PLSQLJob.class, my_resultset_as, my_result_file);
      }
  }
