Configure schedulers using the administrative console
Schedulers can be created or configured using the administrative console.
- Start the administrative console.
- Select Resources > Schedulers.
- Click New.
- Specify configuration settings.
Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required. The settings are described in detail in the topic "Scheduler settings".
If we do not want the scheduler to attempt to run any work until the WAS for z/OS server is open for e-business, click Custom Properties > New to add the synchWithControlRegion custom property to the scheduler configuration settings, and set the property to true. When true the Scheduler waits until the WAS for z/OS server is open for e-business before attempting to run any work. The default value is false.
Best practice: If we do not require interoperability with PME Version 5.0 tasks, under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties > New. Then specify disableV50TaskInteroperability in the Name field, true in the Value field, and select java.lang.boolean from the list of available Type options. When true, tablespace scans that are only required for PME Version 5.0 tasks no longer occur.bprac
- Click OK or Apply to save the changes.
- Save the changes to the configuration repository.
Results
A scheduler is now configured and ready to use for newly installed applications. If the scheduler JNDI name is not yet visible to the application, restarting the application or restarting application server will allow the scheduler to be seen.
When schedulers are created for the first time, the poll daemon will not automatically start and must be started manually and will only start automatically the next time the server is started. To start the poll daemon manually, refer to the scheduler daemons topic. : Changes to existing scheduler configurations will not take affect until after the application server is restarted.
- Schedulers collection
Use this page to manage scheduler configurations. Schedulers are persistent and transactional timer services that can run business logic. Each scheduler runs tasks independently and has a programming interface accessible from JEE applications using the JNDI. We can also manage schedulers using a JMX (JMX) MBean. See the scheduler documentation in the Information Center for details on how to configure and use schedulers.
