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.
