High Availability & Fault Tolerance

JobScheduler can be operated for high availability and fault tolerance. A number of options are available:

• Resilience includes measures for operational robustness that are intended to cope with outages.
• Redundancy provides fail-over capabilities in case of outages:
  • A Passive Cluster including the set-up of a Primary JobScheduler and redundant Backup JobScheduler.
  • An Active Cluster that allows the execution of jobs on distributed server nodes.
  • The dynamic assignment of JobScheduler Agents on different server nodes.
• Recovery Strategies provide a set of measures to restore the scheduling service after an outage.

Cross-Platform Scheduling

JobScheduler uses two methods for remote execution: JobScheduler Agents and Agentless Scheduling per SSH.

• Agents are used in a Master / Agent Cluster and are completely controlled by a Master JobScheduler. They are used for simplified roll-out do and not require an individual configuration and database connection.
• Remote execution by SSH does not require a JobScheduler component on the remote server - instead an existing SSH server is used to create a secure shell and to execute commands and programs.
