The Scheduler service provides a generic job scheduling service for System Manager and the adopting products. It provides an interface to execute a task on demand or on a periodic basis. So you can schedule a job to generate an output immediately or set the frequency of the task execution to run on a periodic basis. You can also modify the frequency for a periodic job. After you define a task or a job, System Manager creates instances of the task, monitors the execution of the task, and updates the status of the task.

Scheduled jobs can be of following three types:

• system scheduled

• admin scheduled

• on-demand
