Workload Scheduler job won't enable

I'm trying to create a Workload Scheduler job that executes a curl command.

In Steps I've selected Start a program for the step and RP_CLOUD as the Agent(it's the only option). I pasted my curl command into Program.

Now when I try to enable the job I get a popup saying <b>AWSUI4177E</b><br />AWSUI4177E Unable to update the Process.<br /><i>AWSUI4299E An internal error has occurred: AWSPRE001E The user "[email protected]" cannot create a job of type "executable" on the "RP_CLOUD" workstation. Download and install a Workload Automation Agent on a different machine.</i>.

The curl statement works when executd in my Terminal. What am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • There are some security constrains on running jobs on the agents provided by the infrastructure. I see two options:

    1. Use the restful job type (since you are invoking a curl command)
    2. Install an agent
