Get Job Service Status from Queue Name - v8.0

With the name of the queue, you can fetch the necessary information for the heartbeat call from the QBMServer table.

The same status information as shown in the Jobqueue Info tool can be fetched by a web request against the URL <protocol>://<hostname>:<port>/hb

If the service is operational, you will get an XML in return. A sample is shown below.

<hb>
<hb-host>IAMS01</hb-host>
<hb-datetime>2020-02-17 20:41:42</hb-datetime>
<hb-version>8.1.161.5406</hb-version>
<hb-user>IAM\Administrator</hb-user>
<hb-revision>344749090</hb-revision>
</hb>

Thanks a lot Marcus

I wasn't able to find which column to look at for the hearbeat call status in the QBMServer table. I thought it might be the "IsJobServiceDisabled" flag, however when I stopped ther service this was still set to False.

The only stuff you can fetch from the QBMServer table is the hostname and the port (if changed). So you need to make a web request against the listed URL.

Thanks a lot!
