Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Hyzer, Chris" <>]

Note, at penn we always use views instead of raw SQL, there are several advantages to doing this:

 

1.       You can delegate the management of the view

2.       You can keep the source in source control like other ddl objects

3.       Sometimes long sql doesn’t fit in the attribute value

4.       Easier for data analysts to see whats happening and debug

 

Thanks

Chris

Yes, the SQL and other attributes not related to the schedule are queried each time the job runs.

 

Thanks!

if one changes the SQL or any other attribute other than the schedule - do you need to ‘reschedule’ using the UI as you documented or will the changes simply take effect on the next run?

 

thanks - i have utilized this feature heavily and really appreciate it.

This was a question at techEx, Shilen documented the new functionality which he coded for 2.3 on the wiki:

 

“Note that as of Grouper 2.3, if you create a new loader job, you can have it scheduled without restarting the daemon by using an option in the New UI.  If you're an admin of the group, under "More actions", there's an option named "Schedule loader process".  This option can also be used if you change the loader's schedule.”

 

Thanks

Shilen,

 

I think the notre dame folks asked me in a session if you change a loader job config, do you have to restart the loader anymore? 

 

Do we need to update any of these wikis to explain the new functionality (buttons?)
