CA-Unicenter's Workload Management facility determines specifically which jobs must be performed on each system on a given day. It uses job and job set profiles, work load sequencing information, job and file dependencies, processing requirements and business priorities for jobs as criteria for building the daily workload.
CA-Unicenter offers two types of scheduling for production workloads: Calendar and Event-Based Scheduling. Used together or separately, these methods offer full scheduling flexibility. Calendar scheduling enables systems managers to define when a job will run and reflects the way most production jobs are actually scheduled. Event-based scheduling runs pre-defined work loads when dynamic events occur in the system. Examples of such events are a specific file update, a job start or terminate, or other user-defined events.
CA-Unicenter provides automatic recovery facilities that enable administrators to define specific actions that are to be performed in the event of an abnormal completion of a scheduled job, which can be used to significantly hasten job recovery and restart. The workload balancing component provides the ability to monitor and balance the load on a given node, and route units of work to the least busy eligible node participating in the network.
