Summary
In this chapter, we have seen the most important change in Scheduler 11g—the remote external job. It is easy to set up and configure. But at the same time, it seems impossible to see what agent is configured against the database. At the moment, the Resource Manager support is missing.
In this chapter, we saw:
How robust the agent is
How easy it is to configure multiple agents on a single host using a single software installation
How to get remote log files from the agent to the originating database
How to target a Windows system as a remote platform
How to target a Unix/Linux system as a remote platform
How to check the port that the agent is using
How to check the certificate that the agent is using
In the next chapter, we are going to take a look at Scheduler's event system—how events are generated and how can we act on these events.
