Workstation class
A workstation class is a group of workstations with similar job scheduling characteristics. Any number of workstations can be grouped in a class, and a workstation can be included in many classes. Jobs and job streams can be assigned to run on a specific workstation class and this makes the running of jobs and job streams across multiple workstations easier.
- Workstation classes that group workstations according to your internal departmental structure, so that you can define a job to run on all the workstations in a department
- Workstation classes that group workstations according to the software installed on them, so that you can define a job to run on all the workstations that have a particular application installed
- Workstation classes that group workstations according to the role of the user, so that you can define a job to run on all the workstations belonging to, for example, managers
Workstations can also be grouped into domains
when your network is set up. Because the domain name is not one of
the selection criteria used when choosing where to run a job, you
might need to mirror your domain structure with workstation classes
if you want to schedule a job to run on all workstations in a domain.
