How to Work with Large Datasets

The --async option is for working with large data sets without waiting for the results. The option works like “batch job.”

The option can be used with any resource. The workflow is as follows:

  1. You issue the desired ilo command with the --async option, which displays a job ID.

  2. You take note of the job ID.

  3. Your session is freed up while the job runs.

  4. The job creates a data file, which you view with datafile --read --job-id jobID.

Goal

Get a report of a large workload data set.

Steps

  1. Issue the --async request for a workload list. Take note of job ID, which is the final word of the href displayed on the Location line.

    [kurt.goedel~]$ ilo workload list --async
Using /home/kurt.goedel/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1 
Location: /orgs/1/jobs/fe8a1c2b-1674-4b83-8967-eb56c4ffa1e3 
202, Accepted

  2. Check to see if the job completed. Use the job ID from the Location output in previous command:

    [sigmund.freud~]$ ilo job read --job-id fe8a1c2b-1674-4b83-8967-eb56c4ffa1e
Using /home/sigmund.freud/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1

  3. Download the resulting data file, specifying the job ID with -uuid jobID:

    [bill.gates ~]$ ilo datafile read --uuid 1e1c1540-8a01-0136-ec14-02f4d6c1190c
Using /home/ bill.gates /.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1
