We have some spring-batch jobs are triggered by autosys with shell scripts as short lived processes.
Right now there's no way to view what is going on in the spring-batch process so I was exploring ways to view the status & manage(stop) the jobs.
Spring Cloud Data Flow is one of the options that I was exploring - but it seems that may not work when jobs are scheduled with Autosys.
What are the other options that I can explore in this regard and what is the recommended approach to manage spring-batch jobs now?
To stop a job, you first need to get the ID of the job execution to stop. This can be done using the JobExplorer API that allows you to explore meta-data that Spring Batch is aware of in the job repository. Once you get the job execution ID, you can stop it by calling the JobOperator#stop method, please refer to the Stopping a job section of the reference documentation.
This is independent of any method you used to launch the job (either manually, or via a scheduler or a graphical tool) and allows you to gracefully stop a job and leave the repository in a consistent state (ready for a restart if needed).
