UNIX access methods
IBM Workload Scheduler includes two types of UNIX™ access methods, local UNIX access methods and remote UNIX access methods.
The Local UNIX access method runs on extended agents. Use the Local UNIX access method to enable a single UNIX workstation to operate as two IBM Workload Scheduler workstations, both of which you can run IBM Workload Scheduler scheduled jobs.
The Remote UNIX access method runs on extended agents and
dynamic agents.
- On extended agents
- Use the Remote UNIX access method to designate a remote UNIX workstation to run IBM Workload Scheduler scheduled jobs without having IBM Workload Scheduler installed on it.
- On dynamic agents
- Define a job of type xajob that runs on dynamic agents. The dynamic agent communicates with the external system to start the job and return the status of the job.
