Advanced Job Scheduler

 

The Advanced Job Scheduler licensed program (5722-JS1) is a powerful scheduler that allows unattended job processing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This scheduling tool provides more calendar features and offers greater control over scheduled events than the Management Central scheduler. You can also view job completion history and manage notification of a job's status.

If you want to schedule jobs on several systems in your network, the product must be installed on each of you systems. If you want to use the Advanced Job Scheduler in iSeries™ Navigator (and in Management Central), then install the client plugin from a system that has the Advanced Job Scheduler installed.

However, it is not necessary to install the Advanced Job Scheduler licensed program on each endpoint system in your Management Central network. When you install the Advanced Job Scheduler on the central system, jobs or tasks that you define on an endpoint system will gather job information that is needed from the central system. You must set up all job definition information on the central system.

If systems in your network have the Advanced Job Scheduler installed locally, you can schedule tasks outside of the Management Central network. Under My Connections in iSeries Navigator, you have access to the Advanced Job Scheduler on that local system when you expand Work Management.

For ordering information, see the Job Scheduler for i5/OS^® web site.
