OpenEdge Management provides several different ways for you to work with jobs:
You can create a custom job to run once or on a recurring basis.
You can create a job template and run job instances based on the template's properties.
You can use one of the predefined database maintenance job templates.
You can work with local jobs and also remote jobs that are running on remote machines. The remote host where the job is to be run is known as the remote AdminServer; the local host is also referred to as the local AdminServer.
Remote job support requires that you set up remote configuration, in which you install OpenEdge Management on the local host. The remote machine requires an installation of the AdminServer; you must disable OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer on the remote machine if either one is installed. For more information about remote configuration, including the setup procedures, see the relevant section in OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Getting Started.
In addition to setting up remote configuration, you need to ensure that remote job commands and scripts are available on the remote AdminServer machine. The OpenEdge job scripts are automatically included with an installation of OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer. If you are using scripts or commands from an operating system, be sure they are also available on the remote machine.
You can create a custom job to run once or on a recurring basis.
