Overview of Managing Job Definitions and Job Sets

Users run scheduled processes based on jobs to process data and, in some cases, to provide report output.

Each job has a job definition which, for example, determines the parameters that users can set. Jobs are based on Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Services. Using Enterprise Scheduler Jobs tasks, you can define job definitions, list of values sources, and job sets.

• Job Definitions: Contain the metadata about the job and the options available to users. A job definition is defined by a job type, such as Oracle Analytics Publisher or PL/SQL Job type or others.

• List of Values Sources: Determine where a list of values for the parameters in a job definition comes from and what the specific values are.

• Job Sets: Collections of several jobs in a single process set that the users submit instead of running separate jobs.

The various Enterprise Scheduler Jobs tasks are:

• Manage Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets for Financial, Supply Chain Management, and Related Applications

• Manage Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets for Human Capital Management and Related Applications

• Manage Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets for Customer Relationship Management and Related Applications

In the Setup and Maintenance work area, you can find these tasks in the Application Extensions functional area, or, depending on your offering, another functional area. If you don't see the task, make sure that the Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets feature is enabled at the offering level in the Offerings work area.
