Scenarios for creating job definitions

These scenarios provide examples of creating job definitions with different types of requirements.

JSDL and the Job Brokering Definition Console provide very flexible tools for defining jobs. The following scenarios provide examples of how to set up a job definition to achieve your objectives for identification of targets, resource allocation, and load balancing:

• Scenario: Creating a job definition using a computer resource group.

  This scenario demonstrates the use of a resource group to specify candidate target systems.

• Scenario: Creating a job definition using a logical resource group.

  This scenario demonstrates the use of a resource group to specify logical resources required for the job..

• Scenario: Creating a job definition for a job to run on x86 processors

  This scenario demonstrates the use of advanced requirements for resources and the use of resource properties for defining load-balancing rules.

• Scenario: Creating a job definition for a script to run on a specific operating system

  This scenario demonstrates the creation of relationships between an operating system type software resource and an additional resource requirement.

• Scenario: Alternative operating system requirements

  This scenario demonstrates the definition of two resource requirements related to specific operating system types and a minimum free physical memory requirement.
