ARRANGEMENT FOR SCHEDULING JOBS WITH RULES AND EVENTS

摘要

Arrangements for scheduling execution of jobs on target entities of a data processing system are disclosed. A plan can be stored that defines a flow of execution of a set of jobs. Each job can be executed on a selected target entity or a qualified entity such as a workstation with the appropriate configuration according to the plan. A set of rules may be utilized to invoke one or more actions in response to a detection of an event. Each target entity can detect one or more events. The execution of each action on a corresponding action target entity can be triggered based on a detected event.
