  • 1.  GSS 3.1 - Programmatically executing jobs & retrieving job status

    Posted Jul 20, 2018 05:32 PM

    Hi,

    I've set up some Image jobs for my client machines using the Ghost Solution Suite Console and now need to programmatically execute them. Does GSS 3.1 provide this functionality through some kind of an API or CLI, and if so will I be able to also query the status of job with it?

    I dug through some other posts that mentioned being able to programmatically schedule tasks using axSched - can anyone confirm if this approach is viable?

    Yes, it should do what you want. One gotcha I found when using it in Deployment Server was that if you just want ti to run immediately you need to put something like /t "2000-12-31 00:00" as a switch.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    I was able to schedule some jobs using axSched, but couldn't find a way to retrieve job statuses from it. Does another API/CLI exist that allows for querying of job status?

    Well the SDK for GSS is here - https://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/ghost-solution-suite-3x-asdk

    Honestly, I just end of querying the event and task tables directly.
