Navigator provides the ability to schedule actions for MQ and EMS objects. Actions can then automatically take place at a later time, such as during a change or testing window.
Actions you can schedule include creating, deleting, modifying, starting or stopping objects. Message actions such as loading messages to a file or clearing a queue can also be scheduled.
For the ability to schedule actions, your workgroup server must have the Job Scheduler Expert. Please see How do I install the Job Scheduler Expert for requirements and setup instructions.
