Configuring Job Management Managers and Agents

All managers and agents that participate in cross-platform scheduling require a valid CAICCI connection.

Note: Review the CAICCI considerations listed in the CA Common Communications Interface overview in the online CA Reference. Careful consideration of these issues will help to ensure that your job management scheduling tasks work across a variety of platforms.

The job management manager requires a station definition for the job agent node. The job agent does not require any additional configuration because it simply processes requests on behalf of the job management manager.

By default, any job manager can submit jobs to the agent. Even though user ID and password validation can be enforced, you may not want to allow all job managers to schedule work on various agents. Using the configuration settings option "authorized remote manager nodes" on Windows or the CAISCHD0530 environment variable on UNIX/Linux, you can configure a comma-delimited list of authorized remote manager nodes to restrict requests to certain job manager nodes.
