Administering Scheduler service

This page provides a starting point for finding information about the scheduler service, a WebSphere® programming extension responsible for starting actions at specific times or intervals.

Schedulers are persistent and transactional timer services that run Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) methods or send Java™ Message Service (JMS) messages for any Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) server application.

The scheduler service helps minimize IT costs and increase application speed and responsiveness by maximizing utilization of existing computing resources.

The scheduler service provides the ability to reliably process workloads using parallel processing and schedule resource-intensive tasks to process during low traffic off-hours.
