Workstation classes
Workstations are organized into domains to make your network management easier and more efficient. However, the domain name is not one of the selection criteria when choosing where to run a job or job stream.
If you want to group workstations together because they have similar job scheduling characteristics, use a workstation class. Any number of workstations can be grouped in a class, and a workstation can be in many classes. Jobs and job streams can be assigned to run on a specific workstation class.
For example, you could set up workstation classes to group
workstations according to:
- Your internal departmental structure, so that you could define a job that would be run on all the workstations in a department
- The software installed on them, so that you could define a job that would be run on all the workstations that had a particular application installed
- The role of the user, so that you could define a job that would be run on all the workstations belonging to, for example, managers
