Configuring the Scheduler › Specify a Local Machine to Run Jobs

Specify a Local Machine to Run Jobs

You can specify the host name of the type 'a' machine that acts as the localhost. This machine must be defined in the event server.

On startup, the scheduler checks the value defined in the Local Machine Definition field on the Scheduler - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window. If a value is specified, the scheduler uses the specified machine to run jobs if the job's machine attribute is localhost.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, Programs, CA, Workload Automation AE, Administrator.

   The Instance - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window opens.

2. Select an instance from the Instance drop-down list in the Settings pane.
3. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

   The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

4. Right-click the scheduler and select Stop.

   The scheduler stops.

5. Click the Scheduler icon on the toolbar.

   The Scheduler - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears. The Controls tab is selected by default.

6. Enter the name of the local machine in the Local Machine Definition field, and click Apply.
7. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

   The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

8. Right-click the scheduler and select Start.

   The scheduler starts. A local machine is defined.
