Submitting batch jobs

You can use the job management console to submit batch applications.

About this task

Jobs are expressed in an Extensible Markup Language dialect called xJCL (XML Job Control Language). This dialect has constructs for expressing all of the information that is needed for batch jobs. For more information about xJCL, see Understanding the xJCL, Sample applications and the xJCL XSD schema.

The xJCL definition of a job is not part of the batch application, but is constructed separately and submitted to the job scheduler to run. The job scheduler uses information in the xJCL to determine where and when to run the job.

For more information, see Submitting batch jobs in the WebSphere Application Server product documentation.
