The Cumulus Scheduler consists of the Scheduler Manager and the Scheduler Server Application.

The Scheduler Manager utility is part of the Cumulus Server Console and Web Server Console.

The Scheduler Server Application must be installed separately. Multiple instances of the Scheduler Server Application can be installed on the computer(s) that you want to perform the tasks on. These computers must have TCP/IP network access to the Cumulus Server. Each instance of the Scheduler has its own configuration file (config.xml), defining, among other things, the address of the Cumulus Server, and the unique name of the instance. For details, see Configuring.

The Scheduler Server Application is a Cumulus Java Classes application that communicates with the Cumulus Server just like a Cumulus Client does. The system requirements are the same as for Cumulus Java Classes.

If one of the tasks performed by the Scheduler Server Application requires certain software to be installed (e.g. a Cumulus or third-party option), this software must be installed on the computer running the Scheduler Server Application.
