Options

--application-id (string)

The unique identifier of the application associated with this batch job.

--batch-job-identifier (tagged union structure)

The unique identifier of the batch job.

Note

This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: fileBatchJobIdentifier, s3BatchJobIdentifier, scriptBatchJobIdentifier.

fileBatchJobIdentifier -> (structure)

Specifies a file associated with a specific batch job.

fileName -> (string)

The file name for the batch job identifier.

folderPath -> (string)

The relative path to the file name for the batch job identifier.

s3BatchJobIdentifier -> (structure)

Specifies an Amazon S3 location that identifies the batch jobs that you want to run. Use this identifier to run ad hoc batch jobs.

bucket -> (string)

The Amazon S3 bucket that contains the batch job definitions.

identifier -> (tagged union structure)

Identifies the batch job definition. This identifier can also point to any batch job definition that already exists in the application or to one of the batch job definitions within the directory that is specified in keyPrefix .

Note

This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: fileName, scriptName.

fileName -> (string)

The name of the file that contains the batch job definition.

scriptName -> (string)

The name of the script that contains the batch job definition.

keyPrefix -> (string)

The key prefix that specifies the path to the folder in the S3 bucket that has the batch job definitions.

scriptBatchJobIdentifier -> (structure)

A batch job identifier in which the batch job to run is identified by the script name.

scriptName -> (string)

The name of the script containing the batch job definition.

Shorthand Syntax:

fileBatchJobIdentifier={fileName=string,folderPath=string},s3BatchJobIdentifier={bucket=string,identifier={fileName=string,scriptName=string},keyPrefix=string},scriptBatchJobIdentifier={scriptName=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "fileBatchJobIdentifier": {
    "fileName": "string",
    "folderPath": "string"
  },
  "s3BatchJobIdentifier": {
    "bucket": "string",
    "identifier": {
      "fileName": "string",
      "scriptName": "string"
    },
    "keyPrefix": "string"
  },
  "scriptBatchJobIdentifier": {
    "scriptName": "string"
  }
}

--job-params (map)

The collection of batch job parameters. For details about limits for keys and values, see Coding variables in JCL .

key -> (string)

See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/workload-automation/9.3.0?topic=zos-coding-variables-in-jcl to get details about limits for both keys and values: 8 for keys (variable names), 44 for values (variable values) In addition, keys will be only alphabetic characters and digits, without any space or special characters (dash, underscore, etc ...)

Parameter key: the first character must be alphabetic. Can be of up to 8 alphanumeric characters.

value -> (string)

Parameter value can be of up to 44 alphanumeric characters.

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
