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.
