Scheduling administrative tasks

The administrative task scheduler runs tasks that are defined in a task list according to a requested schedule. Tasks can be stored procedures or JCL jobs.

About this task

You manage the task list of the administrative task scheduler through DB2® stored procedures that add and remove tasks. You can monitor the task list and the status of executed tasks through user-defined functions that are provided as part of DB2.

Tasks run according to a defined schedule, which can be based on an interval, a point in time, or an event. Activity can be further restricted by a limit on the number of invocations or by earliest and latest invocation dates.
