The EnterpriseSCHEDULE client can connect to a variety of SCHEDULE servers for message processing. Since Schedule is a multi-platform application, the server may be either the local Windows server or an OpenVMS, Linux, HP-UX or Sun Solaris server on any node of a cluster. Job processing can be performed across all these platforms by connecting to the server in the EnterpriseSCHEDULE Explorer.
The SCHEDULE System is designed as a client/server processing pair. All the foreground user interfaces connect to the server process to perform all primary functions. The foreground clients are the user interface programs. These foreground processes just communicate with the user and then request the server to perform all activities.
The server process performs all database I/O, network communications, scheduling state changes, batch job submissions, and activity monitoring. If a foreground process makes a request that refers to a remote node then the server will route that request across the network to the designated node.
Note: In order to use the Schedule server on other platforms, you must purchase separate server software from ISE.
When you start EnterpriseSCHEDULE for the first time, you will be queried for a Descriptive name, server network address and group number of the server you want to use.
Note: The server must be active in order to connect upon startup. See the OpenVMS and UNIX/Linux EnterpriseSCHEDULE Guides for more information on starting the respective servers.
