How do I use the Job Scheduler Expert with Nastel Navigator?

Below are the requirements and installation steps to utilize Nastel Navigator Scheduler, a feature that allows you to schedule tasks or jobs for a future time. See What is scheduling and how is it used? for more information.

Requirements

The scheduler is a shared Nastel AutoPilot Service that is used by Nastel Navigator to schedule changes to the environment. 

This article covers some of key elements for working with the scheduler. 

Planning

Confirm that the following requirements are met before installing the Job Scheduler Expert:

  • Service Update AP60_SU28.6.pkg or higher.
  • Java 1.8 or higher.
  • One of the following supported Scheduler configurations:
    • Option 1:  Utilize multiple schedulers with a common corporate database. These scheduler database tables cannot be shared.  As such, additional schemas are required for each scheduler instance.

    • Option 2:  Using a local dedicated database for scheduler. This scheduler database requires minimal maintenance which makes it a good candidate for a local instance.
