Run Actimize Job

NICE Actimize Job Execution: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Where Jobs Are Executed

Jobs in NICE Actimize are executed in the AIS (Actimize Intelligence Server) layer, NOT in the business applications like IFM. Here's the architecture:

Business Layer (IFM/AML/Trade Surveillance)
↓
AIS (Actimize Intelligence Server) ← JOBS RUN HERE
↓
Database Layer (UDM)
↓
Operating System/Hardware

Method 1: Manual Job Execution via AIS Admin Console

Step-by-Step Process:

Step 1: Access AIS Admin Console

Location: AIS Admin Console (separate from IFM interface)
URL: http://[server]:7001/ais-admin (typical port)
Login: System administrator credentials

Navigation:

Open web browser
Navigate to AIS Admin Console URL
Login with administrative credentials
You'll see the main AIS dashboard

Step 2: Navigate to Job Management

AIS Admin Console → Job Management → Job Control

Menu Path:

Main Dashboard → Administration
Administration → Job Management
Job Management → Job Control or Job Monitor

Step 3: Locate the Job

Job Control → Job List → Filter/Search

Finding Your Job:

Job List View: Shows all available jobs
Filter Options:
- Job Name (e.g., "Daily_Fraud_Processing")
- Job Status (Scheduled, Running, Completed, Failed)
- Job Type (Batch, Real-time, Scenario)
- Owner/Group
Search: Use search box to find specific job

Step 4: Execute the Job

Select Job → Actions → Run Now

Detailed Steps:

Select the job from the list (checkbox or click)
Right-click or use Actions button
Choose "Run Now" or "Execute Immediately"
Confirm execution in popup dialog
Monitor progress in Job Monitor

Step 5: Monitor Job Execution

Job Monitor → Real-time Status → Logs

Monitoring Features:

Status: Running, Completed, Failed, Queued
Progress: Percentage complete (if available)
Start Time: When job began
Estimated Completion: Based on historical data
Resource Usage: CPU, Memory utilization
Log Output: Real-time log viewing

Real-Life Example: Running Daily Fraud Processing Job

Scenario: Manually run the daily fraud detection job outside of schedule

Step 1: Login to AIS Admin

URL: https://fraud-ais-prod.bank.com:7001/ais-admin
Username: ais_admin
Password: [secure_password]

Step 2: Navigate to Job Control

Dashboard → Administration → Job Management → Job Control

Step 3: Find the Job

Job Filter: Name contains "Daily_Fraud"
Result: "Daily_Fraud_Processing_Job_v2.1"
Status: Scheduled (Next run: 02:00 AM tomorrow)

Step 4: Execute Job

1. Select: ☑ Daily_Fraud_Processing_Job_v2.1
2. Actions → Run Now
3. Confirmation Dialog:
   "Are you sure you want to execute this job immediately?
   This may impact system performance."
   → Click "Yes, Execute Now"

Step 5: Monitor Execution

Job Monitor shows:
- Status: Running
- Started: 14:23:15
- Progress: Step 2 of 8 (Data Extraction)
- Estimated Completion: 17:45:00
- Current Task: Processing transaction files

Method 2: Command Line Execution

Direct Server Access Method:

Step 1: Connect to AIS Server

# SSH to AIS server
ssh ais_admin@fraud-ais-prod.bank.com

# Navigate to AIS installation directory
cd /opt/actimize/ais

Step 2: Use AIS Command Line Tools

# List available jobs
./ais-cli list-jobs

# Execute specific job
./ais-cli execute-job --job-name "Daily_Fraud_Processing" --wait

# Execute with parameters
./ais-cli execute-job --job-name "Daily_Fraud_Processing" \
                      --param "PROCESS_DATE=2025-07-16" \
                      --param "MODE=FULL_PROCESSING"

Step 3: Monitor via Command Line

# Check job status
./ais-cli job-status --job-id 12345

# View job logs
./ais-cli job-logs --job-name "Daily_Fraud_Processing" --tail

# Real-time monitoring
./ais-cli monitor-job --job-id 12345

Example Command Line Session:

[ais_admin@fraud-ais-prod ~]$ cd /opt/actimize/ais
[ais_admin@fraud-ais-prod ais]$ ./ais-cli list-jobs
Available Jobs:
  1. Daily_Fraud_Processing
  2. Weekly_Model_Refresh
  3. Monthly_Customer_Profiling
  4. Hourly_Alert_Processing

[ais_admin@fraud-ais-prod ais]$ ./ais-cli execute-job --job-name "Daily_Fraud_Processing"
Job submitted successfully.
Job ID: 98765
Status: Queued

[ais_admin@fraud-ais-prod ais]$ ./ais-cli monitor-job --job-id 98765
Job Status: Running
Current Step: Data Transformation (Step 3 of 8)
Progress: 37%
Start Time: 2025-07-17 14:25:32
Estimated Completion: 2025-07-17 17:42:15

Method 3: Database Direct Execution

For Advanced Users (SQL-based execution):

Step 1: Connect to AIS Database

-- Connect to AIS database
sqlplus ais_user/password@ais_database

Step 2: Insert Job Execution Request

-- Check available jobs
SELECT job_id, job_name, status FROM ais_job_definitions;

-- Queue job for immediate execution
INSERT INTO ais_job_queue (
    job_id,
    execution_time,
    priority,
    parameters,
    requested_by
) VALUES (
    101,  -- Daily_Fraud_Processing job_id
    SYSDATE,  -- Execute now
    'HIGH',
    'PROCESS_DATE=2025-07-17|MODE=MANUAL',
    'manual_execution'
);

COMMIT;

Step 3: Monitor via Database

-- Check execution status
SELECT execution_id, status, start_time, progress_pct, current_step
FROM ais_job_executions
WHERE job_id = 101
ORDER BY start_time DESC;

-- View job logs
SELECT log_timestamp, log_level, message
FROM ais_job_logs
WHERE execution_id = 12345
ORDER BY log_timestamp DESC;

Method 4: Enterprise Scheduler Integration

Control-M Integration (Common in Production):

Step 1: Access Control-M Workbench

Control-M/Enterprise Manager → Workbench → Job Scheduling

Step 2: Find Actimize Jobs

Folder: ACTIMIZE_JOBS
Subfolder: FRAUD_DETECTION
Job: Daily_Fraud_Processing_CTLM

Step 3: Execute Job

Right-click job → Force Job → Confirm

Other Enterprise Schedulers:

Autosys:

# Command line execution
sendevent -E FORCE_STARTJOB -J ACTIMIZE_DAILY_FRAUD

Tivoli Workload Scheduler:

# Submit job for immediate execution
conman "submit sched(ACTIMIZE_DAILY_FRAUD);exec"

Job Execution Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

Issue 1: Job Won't Start

Symptoms:

Job stays in "Queued" status
No error messages visible

Diagnosis Steps:

Check AIS Service Status:
```
systemctl status ais-server
```

Check Resource Availability:

SELECT * FROM ais_system_resources WHERE resource_type = 'PROCESSING_SLOTS';

Check Dependencies:

SELECT * FROM ais_job_dependencies WHERE job_id = 101;

Solutions:

Restart AIS service if stopped
Wait for processing slots to become available
Manually complete blocking dependencies

Issue 2: Job Fails Immediately

Symptoms:

Job status changes to "Failed" within seconds
Minimal processing occurs

Diagnosis Steps:

Check Job Logs:

AIS Admin → Job Monitor → Select Job → View Logs

Check System Logs:

tail -f /opt/actimize/ais/logs/ais-server.log

Validate Job Configuration:

SELECT * FROM ais_job_definitions WHERE job_id = 101;

Common Causes:

Missing input files
Database connectivity issues
Insufficient disk space
Configuration errors

Issue 3: Job Runs But Produces No Results

Symptoms:

Job completes successfully
No alerts or outputs generated

Diagnosis Steps:

Check Data Volume:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM staging_transactions WHERE process_date = '2025-07-17';

Verify Scenario Configuration:

IFM Admin → Scenarios → Active Scenarios

Check Processing Logs:
```
AIS Admin → Job Logs → Detail View
```

Best Practices for Job Execution

1. Pre-Execution Checklist

Verify all dependencies are met
Check system resource availability
Confirm input data is available
Review recent execution history
Notify stakeholders of manual execution

2. During Execution

Monitor progress regularly
Watch for error messages
Check system performance impact
Be prepared to stop if issues arise

3. Post-Execution

Verify job completed successfully
Check output data quality
Review performance metrics
Document any issues encountered
Notify stakeholders of completion

4. Emergency Procedures

Stop Running Job: Use "Kill Job" option in AIS Admin
Emergency Contact: Have system admin contact info ready
Rollback Plan: Know how to revert changes if needed

Job Execution Permissions

Who Can Execute Jobs:

Role	Permissions	Interface Access
AIS Administrator	Full job control	AIS Admin Console, CLI, Database
System Operator	Execute pre-defined jobs	AIS Admin Console
Business User	View job status only	IFM/Application dashboards
Read-Only User	Monitor only	Limited AIS Admin access

Permission Configuration:

-- Grant job execution permission
INSERT INTO ais_user_permissions (user_id, permission_type, resource_id)
VALUES ('fraud_analyst', 'EXECUTE_JOB', 101);

-- Revoke permission
DELETE FROM ais_user_permissions
WHERE user_id = 'fraud_analyst' AND permission_type = 'EXECUTE_JOB';

Remember: Jobs are executed in AIS, not in the business applications. The business applications (IFM, AML, etc.) consume the results of job execution but don't directly control the execution process.
