PeopleSoft Jobs

PeopleSoft jobs let you run different types of PeopleSoft processes defined in your PeopleSoft system. For example, you can define PeopleSoft jobs to execute PeopleSoft programs and report the program status.

Note: To run these jobs, your system requires CA WA Agent for UNIX, Linux, or Windows and CA WA Agent for PeopleSoft.

When you define a PeopleSoft job, you can set the output type and format of a report. For email and web output types, you can set various distribution properties such as the recipients and message text. You can also pass run control parameter values that will be stored in the corresponding run control table.

When a PeopleSoft program runs, it modifies its run status (RUNSTATUS) in the PSPRCSRQST table in the PS database. The following diagram shows the functional relationship between the scheduling manager, the agent, and the PeopleSoft system:
