5.1 How jobs are executed

This section describes how jobs are executed in JP1/AJS3.

The environment for executing Unix jobs, PC jobs, flexible jobs, HTTP connection jobs, event jobs, action jobs, and custom jobs in JP1/AJS3 consists of a manager host and agent hosts. Jobs are transferred from the manager host to an agent host for execution.

The following figure shows the flow of JP1/AJS3 job execution.

Figure 5‒1: Flow of JP1/AJS3 job execution

To execute jobs using agent hosts, you must define the execution agents at the manager host. Then, in each job definition, specify the name of the agent that is to execute the job. Jobs are sent in turn to the specified agent host for execution.

The following figure shows the job execution process.

Figure 5‒2: Process of job execution

You can distribute the processing load by using an execution agent group consisting of multiple execution agents.
