About Job Management Manager
The manager is a combination of job controller, database, and logging system. It helps data center personnel, individual users, and general OpenVMS users increase their productivity by providing a hands-off approach to running repetitive jobs.
Using Job Management Manager, you can perform the following tasks:
- Automate and manage jobs that run repeatedly, such as fiscal reports, operating system maintenance tasks, and user applications.
- Separate all scheduling specifics such as the schedule interval, completion notification, and job dependencies from the job’s main task.
- Capture events using logging system, so you can generate accounting and historical reports.
- Is a fully distributed product. All functions and features work remotely as well as locally, transparent to the user except where noted.
- Provides for automatic node failover and easily customized load balancing for OpenVMS Cluster systems.
