The setting for Java job_options from the sos.ini configuration file should be considered

Current Situation

In JS-1748 is explained that the attribute "job_options" can be used to set Java options for any job starts. When adding this setting to the configuration file sos.ini, this has no effect. It only works when having this setting in the configuration file factory.ini.

Desired Behavior

It should be possible to set the Java options for all jobs with the "job_options" setting as explained with JS-1748

Workaround

• Stop JobScheduler Master
• Open the file %SCHEDULER_HOME%/bin/jobscheduler_environment_variables.cmd
• Change the line

  set SCHEDULER_START_PARAMS=%SCHEDULER_PARAMS%  -pid-file=%SCHEDULER_PID% -job-java-options=-Xmx1024m
  

  e.g. to

  set SCHEDULER_START_PARAMS=%SCHEDULER_PARAMS%  -pid-file=%SCHEDULER_PID% -job-java-options=-Xmx10m
  

• In Windows
  • Open a shell and navigate to %SCHEDULER_HOME%/bin
  • Reinstall the Windows Service by executing the commands
    • jobscheduler.cmd remove
    • jobscheduler.cmd install
• Start JobScheduler Master

Maintainer Notes

• This issue has been raised due to a misunderstanding and wrong documentation in JS-1748 that explains that any of the configuration files ./config/factory.ini and ./config/sos.ini can be used for such settings.
• In fact only the file ./config/factory.ini can be used to set Java options for jobs. It is recommended to use ./config/factory.ini for any Java options.
