Whilst the possibilities offered by SSH execution are limited (see What is the difference between SSH job execution and remote JobScheduler Agents?), the possibilities offered by Agents or remote JobSchedulers require some prerequisites as they rely on Process Classes. Process classes have the disadvantage that instances of the job chain and job have to exist (and to be maintained) on every JobScheduler that the job is to be (potentially) executed on.
The scheduler.remote_scheduler technique described on this page allows a job in a job chain to be executed on a remote JobScheduler without the need for a job chain or the job itself to be installed in the live folder of the remote JobScheduler. It is also not necessary for a process class to be defined.
The remote JobScheduler is simply defined by setting the scheduler.remote_scheduler order parameter:
