What types of workstation are there?

Each workstation supports one activity, which can be any DP activity, including:
  • Manual job setup
  • Job submission
  • Started-task actions
  • NetView® communication
  • Print operations
  • Manual preprocessing or postprocessing activity
  • Cross dependencies management
  • Dynamic scheduling
These are the types of workstation:
  • Computer workstations
  • Printer workstations
  • General workstations
  • Remote engine workstations

Create one or more workstations for each activity that you want to schedule and control. For example, all operations representing jobs and started tasks are specified to run on a computer workstation, and print operations are specified to run on a printer workstation. Other operations are specified to run on general workstations.

In a multiple scheduling environment, remote engine workstations allow to define and monitor crossed environments job dependencies.
