Introduction to Performing Basic Administration Tasks

Oracle Enterprise Scheduler is installed by the product that includes it in order to provide job scheduling services for the product. However, it might be necessary for you to select deployment of Oracle Enterprise Scheduler explicitly during domain creation, or to configure aspects of Oracle Enterprise Scheduler before you can get the most out of the service.

Among the basic administration tasks you might need to perform are:

  • Installing Oracle Enterprise Scheduler and creating a domain that includes Oracle Enterprise Scheduler components.

  • Configuring Oracle Enterprise Scheduler by configuring a cluster, request processor, and request dispatcher. While a cluster is optional (Oracle Enterprise Scheduler can run on a single node), a processor and dispatcher are required in order for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler to do its work.

  • Starting and stopping the service instance, its request processors or request dispatchers.

  • Manage application and role policies or service web services.
