CA NSM JM Option Profiles

You define your CA NSM JM Option policy through profiles that specify where, when, what, and how work is to be performed. It is through these profiles (described in the following list) that CA NSM JM Option manages your workload.

Calendar profile

Defines the days on which jobs can run.

Station profile

Identifies the location where work is to be performed. A station can be a CPU where jobs are processed or a physical location where manual tasks, such as distributing reports, are performed.

Station group profile

Defines a group of stations where work can be performed so that you can schedule work to multiple stations or the best available station in a group.

Job profile

Specifies what work is to be performed. There are various types of jobs; for example, a CPU job specifies a command or program that runs as a background process.

Jobset profile

Generally shows how the work is to be performed. A jobset groups logically related jobs into a set and defines scheduling criteria for the group as a whole. It provides default values for all jobs grouped in the jobset.

Resource profile

A resource profile specifies the hardware, software, or supporting resources that must be available before a job can be submitted.

Predecessor profile

A predecessor profile controls the sequence or order of work being processed. A jobset or job predecessor specifies a list of jobs or jobsets that must complete before a job can be run.

A predecessor profile is accessed from a notebook page on the Job Detail and Jobset Detail windows.
