Introduction
The JOC Cockpit allows service providers to configure both shared and dedicated services over any number of JobScheduler Masters.The JobScheduler Masters can then be operated, managed and monitored from a single interface and permissions and roles assigned for each Master.
Architecture-Based Multi-Client Capability
The JOC Cockpit's multi-client capability is a direct feature of the JobScheduler Architecture and allows operation for multiple clients - i.e. scheduling customers - to be separated through the use of separate JobScheduler Masters for individual clients. See the JOC Cockpit - Architecture article for more background information.
This clear separation of resources brings a number of advantages for both service providers and users:
- Increased processing requirements and resource consumption of one client will not affect the processing capacity available for another, meaning that service requirements can be clearly stated and met.
- Planned down-time / maintenance windows for software updates, hardware upgrades, etc. can be implemented individually according to customer requirements.
The use of individual JobScheduler Masters for individual clients also allows authorization - the allocation of permissions determining what a user is allowed to do - to be granted according to duties or roles. This approach may be contrasted with other systems that allocate permissions according to resources such as files or folders. See the JOC Cockpit - Authentication and Authorization article for more information.
