IBM Workload Scheduler
The IBM Workload Scheduler scheduling features help you plan every phase of production. During the plan processing period, the IBM Workload Scheduler production control programs manage the production environment and automate most operator activities. IBM Workload Scheduler prepares jobs for execution, resolves interdependencies, and launches and tracks each job. Because jobs start running as soon as their dependencies are satisfied, idle time is minimized, and throughput improves significantly. Jobs always run in sequence and, if a job fails, IBM Workload Scheduler handles the recovery process with little or no operator intervention.
