eBook: The Shortcut Guide To IT Workload Automation and Job Scheduling

Chapter 1: Challenges of IT Workload Automation and Job Scheduling - examines the various challenges of job scheduling. By identifying the current challenges and looking toward those that loom in the future, an organization can take steps to assume control of job automation and remain its pilot rather than its victim. The chapter addresses the complexity of planning and overseeing the execution of jobs in heterogeneous environments. It looks at working with diverse platforms and the trials of disparate data types, connectivity issues, languages, and control paradigms. It considers issues with remote locations, including time zones, synchronization of data, and delivery options. It also reviews the factors of managing such interconnections of systems.
