Tour: Feature Overview

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.

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.

JobScheduler comes with an Open Source License and a Commercial License. Users of the Open Source License have access to Community Resources, users of the commercial licenses benefit from additional Support Resources & Services.
