    IBM® Workload Scheduler orchestrates unattended, scheduled, and event-driven tasks for business and IT processes across on-premises and cloud environments organized in a network. A network consists of a set of linked workstations on which you perform job scheduling and processing to automate and manage your workflows. An IBM Workload Scheduler network is composed of a master domain manager, one or more Dynamic Workload Console servers, dynamic domain managers, and dynamic agents. You might also have fault-tolerant agents, extended agents, standard agents connected to the master domain manager or to domain managers.
