No, we don't have a Rest API for Jobtrac. There are no plans to add restful services to Jobtrac.

Please see link below for a list of the services available in the CA 7 Rest API. Go near the bottom, and see the section labeled Job Instances (jobs in active workload)

Hello community members.
I want to take a quick moment to update this old thread regarding Splunk integration with CA 7. We have the CA 7 Rest API available that can be used as an integration point between Splunk and CA 7. Earlier in this thread (4 yrs ago), I talked about using the CA 7 TCPIP Java program interface. I would highly recommend using the CA 7 Rest API instead or in place of the Java program interface.
Below is a link to the documentation for the CA 7 Rest API:
https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-mainframe-software/automation/ca-workload-automation-ca-7-edition/12-1/configuring/interfaces/ca-7-rest-api.html
Also, see Splunk link for calling rest api endpoints:

Hi Arun,
Thanks for your thoughts. I think this is pretty much easier than earlier option. I will explore more on this.
Thanks,

Hi Rakesh,
Since you said you would like to use something that you already have in your shop, I am not sure if you prefer below however here is the solution that I am aware of to integrate Ca7 with Splunk.
In fact it is not just Ca7 but the integration of Mainframes and Splunk in near real time. For this you need to get a product called 'IronStream' from SyncSort/Keylink.
If it is just Ca7 - Splunk integration, as Roderick mention below, you can always issue LIST command via a batch job that will run multiple times in a day and Connect: Direct the output to Splunk server. Or place the output file some how on to Splunk server from where Splunk can pick it up, index it and bring up your dashboard as you wish.
Regards,
Arun PB.
