Creating a new Job on IT Management Solution

Products

• Client Management Suite

Issue/Introduction

You can create jobs that run multiple tasks or jobs. The two types of jobs are server jobs and client jobs. Server jobs run on Notification Server. Client jobs are deployed to managed computers by a task server. The managed computer then runs the job and reports back to Notification Server.

Jobs can contain multiple tasks, multiple jobs, and multiple conditions, which gives you great flexibility in setting up the job sequence that you need.

This task is a step in the process for sequencing tasks.

Environment
