Introduction

The SICS Scheduler system consists of a set of screens in SICS Sys Admin used to set up schedulers and jobs. The schedulers can then be started directly from the SICS Sys Admin which goes into so-called unattended mode and processes jobs. Schedulers can also be started from the command line and many schedulers can run at the same time.

Starting from version 4.4.2 there is a new way of running scheduled jobs using the SICS Batch Server.

When SICS Batch Server is enabled external applications and users can use this component to run scheduled jobs in a web application instead for starting them directly from the SICS Sys Admin or command line.
