Managing schedulers

What to do next

  • Managing schedulers

    Schedulers are configured using the administrative console, configuration service or scripting and are available to all servers on which a scheduler is visible.

  • Scheduler daemon

    A scheduler daemon is a background thread that searches for tasks to run in the database.

  • Scheduler service settings

    Use this page to enable or disable the scheduler service. The scheduler service manages scheduler resources used by the server. The administrative console page used to configure the scheduler service is not available for version 6 (and above) servers. It is only available for version 5.x servers.

  • Configuring schedulers

    Before your application can make use of the scheduler service, you must configure a scheduler using the administrative console, configuration service or scripting. Conceptually, a scheduler is similar to a data source in that you must specify various configuration attributes, including a JNDI name where the instance is bound. Once defined, an application using the Scheduler API or WASScheduler MBean can look up the scheduler object and call various methods to manage tasks.

  • Creating the database for schedulers

    Each scheduler requires a database in which to store its persistent information. Schedulers use this database for storing tasks and then running them. The choice of database and location should be determined by the application developer and server administrator.
