Job Specification Language editor
You can use the Job Specification Language (JSL) editor to modify the contents of the xml
file for your Java™ batch job.
The JSL editor has two views for your batch job, the Design view and the Source view. You
can click the corresponding tabs to move between the Design view and the Source view.
Design view
The Design view has two sections, Overview and
Details.
- Overview
- Specifies a tree view of your job. You can add and remove items in the tree such as steps, listeners, and properties. You can also reorder the items in the tree.
- Details
- Specifies attributes of an item in the tree. You can modify these attributes. The attributes vary from item to item. Left-click an item in the tree to display the attributes of the item.
Source view
In the source view you can view and edit the xml source for your job. You can use content assist
when you edit the source for your job.
- Content assist
- Helps you finish a line of code in an xml file that you display in the JSL editor. The placement of the cursor in the source file provides the context for the content assist to offer suggestions for completion.
