While attending HPWorld this week, it has become more and more apparent of the need to support multiple platforms in the batch-job scheduling environment.  HP alone has the platform requirements of OpenVMS, Tru64 Unix, HP-UX, Windows and Linux, all of which would need to be supported by a singular client. ISE is unique in the ability to support this requirement of hosting on all the required platforms, while being monitored and administered by a single client. This complex environment of cross-platform scheduling with multiple hardware vendors, has become the norm, rather than the exception and is well supported by ISE.   Partners:    _________________   EnterpriseSCHEDULE EnterpriseSCHEDULE has several features and benefits and one of them is that it is versatile and easy to manipulate time based controls... Three distinct rescheduling methods are available, based on: start time and an interval. name and time of the day to run the job. a marked calendar (e.g. those days marked with an 'X') and the time of day.

At most sites, the MANAGER will set up daily incremental backups and weekly and/or monthly full backups. Unloading backups might be scheduled daily, weekly, monthly or yearly depending on the site. Check with your MANAGER to learn the schedule of backups at your site.     Schedule Tooltip     How do I move my schedule jobs, calendars and layouts from my test machine to my production machine? On your test machine, extract the jobs, calendars and layouts that you want to move. By using the different extract qualifiers and using wildcards, you can vary your selection from very specific items to everything in the database. The following is an example selecting everything in database. As a note, the schedule files with the "schedule" extension are assumed to be database source files. In this example we are creating a schedule database source file called "extracted_data.schedule". More...
