Scheduler Services Description

Oracle FLEXCUBE Investor Servicing provides you with the facility of scheduling internal activities and having them executed as pre-programmed proceedings by the system. In the system, the Scheduler component facilitates such proceedings.

Typically, you can schedule any activity through the Scheduler Services. Some of these activities may be frequently occurring or recurrent activities, some activities may need to be initiated on demand, and some may be one-time activities.

To schedule activities using this Scheduler Service, you must:
  • Designate each activity, process or programmed executable unit that must be run as a task in the system.
  • Define the objects that are to be run for the task to be completed, and also specify the required parameters for the object to be run.
  • Schedule each defined task to be run at a desired frequency, either a time-based frequency or an event-based frequency.
  • Authorize the job.

You may schedule jobs at a time-based frequency (simple or cron), or you may require them to be executed every time a business event occurs in the system. Accordingly, an event is an occurrence of a business proceeding in the system, such as allocation, or dividend declaration, or the End of Day procedures.

All business proceedings in the system that must be designated as events are pre-defined, according to the requirements at each installation, by the implementers. No new definitions of events are possible after this.

At the Security Management component, you can access all the Scheduler Services from the following menu categories:
  • The Job Maintenance (Detail and Summary) screens from the Maintenance menu category
  • The Jobs (Summary) screens from the Maintenance menu category
