Agentless Scheduling

  • To run a job on a remote JobScheduler Workload instance or Agent .for remote execution
    • Process classes can reference remote JobScheduler instances for execution of a job:
      • At the time of job execution the initiating JobScheduler hands over the job configuration to the remote JobScheduler instances.
      • After completion of the job the initiating JobScheduler regains full control and would continue execution e.g. with the next job in a job chain.
