Job Types

The agents can perform many different categories of work. For example, a job can run a command file on a Windows system, perform a database query, or execute a defined job in PeopleSoft.

Each category of work requires a unique set of information to process the request properly. For example, the Windows job only requires the name of the script to execute, while the SQL job requires a database name and location and an SQL query to run.

Each category of work is assigned a job type. Job types define the type of work to be scheduled. For example, you can create an NT_JOB job to run a Windows command file, an SQL_JOB job to perform a database query, or a PS_JOB job to perform work in PeopleSoft. Each scheduling manager has its own method for assigning a job type to jobs.

Note: Each job type requires one or more agents. For more information about a job type's required statements and agents, see the description for that job type.
