Job Flow

1. Time based Scheduling
   Base job flow on time intervals, days of the week or marked calendars
2. Event based Scheduling
   Base job flow on availability of files, variable states, resource states
3. Interdependencies between jobs
   Base job flow on jobs initiating each other (initiates) or jobs holding up others until complete (prerequisites)

Two ways to link job streams using interdependencies

Only EnterpriseSCHEDULE offers the versatility of two types of interdependencies between jobs:

1) an initiate which triggers other jobs and

2) a prerequisite that holds up other jobs until completion.

Identifying dependencies and making connections between tasks and processes, whether within the same cluster or across an entire enterprise-wide network that includes multiple platforms, turns complex scenarios into manageable processing streams. Conditional progression of job streams can be accomplished through programmable resources that determine execution of tasks based on variable status, completion status, resource states and a variety of other factors.

EnterpriseSCHEDULE features automatic restarts, so you can specify that jobs are to be automatically started upon failure and define the number of job restarts to occur before you are notified of a job failure. You can even design jobs to have restart points so that when a job is restarted, it does so at the appropriate point

Advanced conditional job flow

EnterpriseSCHEDULE gives you more control of your job flow with fully programmable resources. Using this powerful feature, you can add crucial decision points that allow you to control execution based on variable evaluation. With the built in conventional programming tools, a job stream can be based on a wide variety of algorithms. Job streams can be simple or complex and can evaluate the availability of system resources. These streams, which are viewable in a live display, are automated and optionally redundant making them both interdependent and user controlled.

Fully monitor job activity

With EnterpriseSCHEDULE, comprehensive job status is always just a click away. Live displays monitor job progress and deliver notices via broadcast messages or e-mail when abnormalities occur. Users can watch as jobs cycle through their scheduled runs and the system automatically performs crucial tasks.

The new Windows client interface features even more monitoring capability, with a colorful display that let’s you monitor job runs by job or by event. Current status of jobs as well as system resource usage is also available.

• Job progress is monitored through a series of states representing important events in a jobs execution. 
• Current status of job available throughout job run and fillowing complation
• Notification of events can be sent via pager, email or pop up window. 
• Job Alerts (in Windows Interface) sends pop up messages indicating important events
• History data reports provide valuable data about past job activity

Versatile and easy to manipulate time based controls

Three distinct rescheduling methods are available, based on:

1) start time and an interval.

2) name and time of the day to run the job.

3) a marked calendar (e.g. those days marked with an `X') and the time of day.

Calendar based job scheduling enables you to create calendars that recognize holidays and weekends when jobs are not to run, and mark specific days on which jobs are to run. Additionally you can create fiscal calendars for jobs concerning financial matters (such as periodic financial reports).

Job Scheduling Options

• Advanced calendars allow selective scheduling based on a marked calendar. 
• Named day scheduling allows the processing of jobs on particular days of the week at a certain time.
• Interval scheduling allows jobs to be processed at a selected interval.
• Customizable calendar settings ( ie. based on fiscal calendar etc.)
• Job processes can run concurrently, in a stream or based on resource status. 
• Jobs can be scheduled with Hold status
• Job runs can be based process previous job events, resource status, scheduled events, manual submission and variable status.
• Job runs can be based on the creation or modification of a file
