Distributed Scheduling Installation

To use Distributed Scheduling, you must install adTempus on the Master and on each Agent (a separate license must be purchased for each computer). You install the same software on each computer. During installation you choose whether the computer will be a Master or an Agent by specifying the Engine Mode. You can also change this setting after installation using the Engine Mode utility.

It does not matter which order you install the instances, but you must have one Master computer and one or more Agent computers.

Aside from selecting the Engine Mode during or after installation, no other special installation steps are required.

System Options on the Agent

Agents receive their system option settings from the Master. There is therefore no need to configure notification, history retention, etc., on the Agents.

Configuration

Once the software is installed, you are ready to establish connections to the Agents and begin scheduling jobs. See the Setup and Administration topic for details.
