Install the Advanced Job Scheduler

The first time that you connected to your Management Central server, iSeries™ Navigator asked you if you wanted to install the Advanced Job Scheduler. If you chose no and want to install it now, you can do so by using the Install Plug-Ins feature of iSeries Navigator.

  1. From your iSeries Navigator window, click File from the menu bar.
  2. Click Install Options > Install Plug-Ins.
  3. Click the source system where the Advanced Job Scheduler is installed and click OK. Check with the system administrator if you are not sure what source system to use.
  4. Enter your iSeries User ID and Password, and click OK.
  5. Click Advanced Job Scheduler from the Plug-in selection list.
  6. Click Next and then click Next again.
  7. Click Finish to complete and exit the setup.

You have now installed the Advanced Job Scheduler.
