With Systemwalker Operation Manager, jobs are regarded as being configured as follows.
Project
A "project" is the largest job category unit. Only users with administrator authority can create projects and register other users with the authority to update, operate and refer to the jobs and job nets in these projects.
Group
A "group" is a collection of related job nets that can be created when necessary. Groups can be used to control the execution sequence of job nets.
Job net
A "job net" is a group of related jobs. Start/stop control can be performed for each separate job net. Time schedules, event occurrence, mail reception and other triggers can be specified as startup conditions.
Job nets can be nested by registering job nets in other job nets. Up to five levels of job nets can be registered.
Job
The shell scripts, execution programs, and JCL (Job Control Language) scripts for job processing are referred to as "jobs." The priority of each job can be controlled. For information about the jobs Systemwalker Operation Manager can handle, refer to "1.1.3 Jobs Handled by Systemwalker Operation Manager".
Job step
A "job step" is the smallest unit of the processing procedures that make up JCL (Job Control Language) scripts.
Point
Job Control Language (JCL)
This language is useful for controlling jobs, as it can be used to easily describe the procedures for complicated jobs. It incorporates the concept of "job steps" and describes job procedures in a job-step structure.
