grid jobs and determines where and when to run them. As part of managing jobs,
the long-running scheduler persists job information
in an external job database. Configurations for the long-running scheduler includes
the deployment target, datasource, database schema name, and endpoint job
log location to be configured for the scheduler.
About this task
The job scheduler can be hosted by either an application server or
a static cluster.
Procedure
- Choose the environment to host the job scheduler. An application
server host is recommended for test environments and can utilize the default
Derby database. A cluster host is recommended for production environments.
Only a single application server or cluster can host the job scheduler
at any given time. See Creating a node group and dynamic cluster to host the long-running scheduler
for information
on hosting the job scheduler in a dynamic cluster.
- Create database tables for the job scheduler. for more
information.
- Optionally, you can define routing and service policies for generic
server clusters. See for more information.
