EnterpriseSCHEDULE Workgroups

EnterpriseSCHEDULE features the concept of workgroups. The basic functions of Workgroups are to:

• Enable the EnterpriseSCHEDULE database to be replicated physically across nodes
• Determine the way jobs run across any number of nodes in an enterprise.

This includes the capability to apply load balancing to EnterpriseSCHEDULE job flow by determining the best way to distribute workload. For instance you can apply more job runs to your more powerful servers and allow the jobs to run across multiple machines, alleviating the load on a single server. This can all be automated by establishing several simple parameters to the Workgroup which the jobs are running in.

A workgroup is considered to be 2 or more nodes in a networked environment that can have duplicate versions of the EnterpriseSCHEDULE database (through automated replication) and/or facilitates the execution of jobs on multiple nodes.
