7.1 Scheduler Services

Scheduler Services automates behind-the-scenes work that is necessary to sustain various enterprise applications and their operations. Using Scheduler Services, applications can control unattended background jobs program execution.

The Scheduler Services screen provides a one-click navigation for each of the operations, at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to move seamlessly between each operation.

Scheduler Services Operations

• Define Batch - A Batch contains a group of background tasks that are executed together, on a specific date and time during which the resources are available for batch processing.
