The scheduler service, a WebSphere programming extension responsible for starting actions at specific times or intervals.
Schedulers are persistent and transactional timer services that run EJB methods or send JMS messages using any Java EE server application.
We can process workloads using parallel processing, and schedule resource-intensive tasks to process during low traffic off-hours.
