Fundamental items
HCL Universal Orchestrator
functionalities are centered around three fundamental items:
- Jobs
- Job streams
- Workstations
- Jobs
- A job is the most fundamental unit of work. It represents a script or a command
and must have a unique key. To discover more on how to define jobs, see Job
definition. You can run jobs by using any one of these options:
- Cloud task launcher and it interacts with any external API if required, to perform the required action.
- HCL Workload Automation for executable jobs and "plug-ins" jobs.
- HCL UnO agent, the on premises agent that can run all types of jobs. For more information, see HCL UnO agent.
- Job stream
- A job stream consists of a series of individual jobs that are required to implement a business task. Job streams can range from very simple to extremely complex, depending on the number of jobs they contain, and their running can depend on other jobs and job streams through dependencies, on time through run cycles, and on events through event triggers. To learn more about job stream definition, see Job stream definition.
- Workstation
- A workstation is an individual computer or computer partition that you can run jobs and job streams on. Workstation items are automatically defined when configuring an agent, and you can edit or delete them afterwards. To learn how to define one, see Workstation definition.
