A job manager allows you to submit administrative jobs
asynchronously for application servers registered to administrative
agents and for deployment managers. You can submit these jobs to a
large number of servers over a geographically dispersed area.
About this task
Use the WebSphere® Customization
Toolbox or the zpmt command and the customization
jobs that they generate to configure a job manager on z/OS®. The job manager does not have to run
on the same system as the nodes that it manages.
After the job
manager is up and running, you can make the following types of servers
known to a job manager through a registration process:
After you register the servers, you can queue administrative
jobs directed at the application servers or deployment managers through
the job manager.
The job manager allows you to asynchronously
administer job submissions. You can perform the following tasks:
- Set a job submission to take effect at a specified time.
- Set a job submission to expire at a specified time.
- Schedule a job submission to occur at a specified time interval.
- Notify the administrator through email that a job has completed.
