Abstract
Job scheduling has a long history. Job schedulers have been one of the major component of IT infrastructure since the early mainframe system, at first, stacks of punched cards were processed one after the other, hence the term batch processing. The aim of a job scheduler was to arrange, control and optimize work and workload in a production process. The study aimed at achieving a job scheduler that can assign jobs to available resources in such a way that workload leveling can be achieved. The objectives of the study included to; ascertain the existing schedule system, design a model platform for job scheduling, implement the model platform for job scheduling, and test and deploy the model platform for job scheduling. The study adopted the spiral development model. The proposed system was developed using java script which is a client scripting language which is used for creating web and windows application and it has almost all online application since the system is an online system. The developed application was tested with field Meta data and the outcome was according to specification and of desired output. The application was hosted on three different servers, one server for the frontend, another server for the backend and the third server for the database, hosting on the three different servers did the magic by making the system faster and easy to optimize.
Highlights
Statement of the Problem The pen-and-paper method is the old way of job scheduling for a workload, in which all job scheduling is funneled through an operation manager or the business owner
The personnel in charge manually write down the available jobs and available staff / machines to carry out the jobs, with this method labor load leveling becomes so hard to achieve, and thereby leads to chaos in a situation where workers are paid according to their workload
There is no reason to manually check off jobs in a log as they finish, the entire process will be automated thereby producing real time information, labor load leveling will be achieved, time wasted in the manual process will be reduce thereby increasing productivity and efficiency of the organization
Summary
Statement of the Problem The pen-and-paper method is the old way of job scheduling for a workload, in which all job scheduling is funneled through an operation manager or the business owner. With large workgroups or very busy schedules, this system can rapidly become untenable, record keepings becomes difficult, as books use to manually record the scheduling get filled up, and there is no real time information and can have negative effect on productivity This project will design an automated job scheduler that will carry out repetitive tasks as required in a schedule-based calendar and event conditions. Scope of the Study The study is limited to a job scheduler that is automated, a job scheduler that will be arranging, controlling and optimizing work and workloads of IKODOTENE solutions, achieving labor load leveling, producing real time information and increasing efficiency of the organization.
