Explanation:
The NOT keyword is used in this question. You need to find out an option which is not true about job scheduling.
Below are some advantages of job scheduling or using job scheduling software.
Job information is set up only once, reduce the probability of an error.
Records are maintained of all job success and failures.
Reliance on operator is reduced.
Job dependencies are defined so that if a job fails, subsequent jobs relying on its output will not be processed.
For your exam you should know the information below:
A job scheduler is a computer application for controlling unattended background program execution (commonly called batch processing).
Synonyms are batch system, Distributed Resource Management System (DRMS), and Distributed Resource Manager (DRM). Today’s job schedulers, often termed workload automation, typically provide a graphical user interface and a single point of control for definition and monitoring of background executions in a distributed network of computers. Increasingly, job schedulers are required to orchestrate the integration of real-time business activities with traditional background IT processing across different operating system platforms and business application environments.
Job scheduling should not be confused with process scheduling, which is the assignment of currently running processes to CPUs by the operating system.
Basic features expected of job scheduler software include:
Interfaces which help to define workflows and/or job dependencies
Automatic submission of executions
Interfaces to monitor the executions
Priorities and/or queues to control the execution order of unrelated jobs
If software from a completely different area includes all or some of those features, this software is consider to have job scheduling capabilities.
Most operating systems (such as Unix and Windows) provide basic job scheduling capabilities, for example: croon. Web hosting services provide job scheduling capabilities through a control panel or a webcron solution. Many programs such as DBMS, backup,
ERPs, and BPM also include relevant job-scheduling capabilities. Operating system (“OS”) or point program supplied job-scheduling will not usually provide the ability to schedule beyond a single OS instance or outside the remit of the specific program.
Organizations needing to automate unrelated IT workload may also leverage further advanced features from a job scheduler, such as:
Real-time scheduling based on external, unpredictable events
Automatic restart and recovery in event of failures
Alerting and notification to operations personnel
Generation of incident reports
Audit trails for regulatory compliance purposes
The following answers are incorrect:
The other options are correctly defined about job scheduling
