Configuring job managers
In a flexible management environment, you can specify settings such as the default job expiration, the job manager web address, and the mail provider Java™ Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name for the job manager. You can view job manager properties such as the process ID and the state of the job manager.
Before you begin
Before you can configure the job manager, you must have started the job manager.
If you plan to
change the system clock, stop all the application servers, the node agent servers, the deployment
manager server, the administrative agent server, and the job manager server first. After you stop
the servers, change the system clock, and then restart the servers. If you change the system clock
on one system, you must ensure the clocks on all systems that communicate with each other and have
WebSphere®
Application Server installed are synchronized. Otherwise, you might experience errors, such as
security tokens no longer being valid.
If
you plan to change the system clock, stop all the application servers, the node agent servers, the
deployment manager server, the administrative agent server, the job manager server, and the location
service daemon first. After you stop the servers and location service daemon, change the system
clock, and then restart the servers and location service daemon. If you change the system clock on
one system, you must ensure the clocks on all systems that communicate with each other and have WebSphere
Application Server installed are synchronized. Otherwise, you might experience errors, such as
security tokens no longer being valid.
