Manage schedulers
Schedulers are configured using the administrative console, configuration service or scripting and are available to all servers on which a scheduler is visible.
We can create multiple schedulers within a single server, cluster, node or cell. Each configured scheduler is an independent task scheduling engine that has a unique JNDI name, persistent storage device and daemon.
- Configure schedulers.
- Create the database for schedulers.
- Configure schedulers
Before the application can make use of the scheduler service, configure a scheduler using the administrative console, configuration service or scripting. Conceptually, a scheduler is similar to a data source in that specify various configuration attributes, including a JNDI name where the instance is bound. Once defined, an application using the Scheduler API or WASScheduler MBean can look up the scheduler object and call various methods to manage tasks.
- Create the database for schedulers
Each scheduler requires a database in which to store its persistent information. Schedulers use this database for storing tasks and then running them. The choice of database and location should be determined by the application developer and server administrator.
