Can the SCHEDULE database be shared across nodes on my network?

Usually a single SCHEDULE database is installed inside a single domain. Sometimes it is advantageous to install a single SCHEDULE database across all systems in the network even though they are not in the same management domain. For instance if you are using the Enterprise version of the software, you can use a central database to schedule jobs across multiple platforms in a cluster.

A Peer-to-peer configuration is where each system has its own SCHEDULE database and on occasion needs to synchronize jobs between these systems. This mode allows each system to do most of its own work without regard to the up/down status of the other members of the network.
