About Operating System Scheduling

An operating system scheduling server provides a method for scheduling SAS jobs without licensing and installing Platform Suite for SAS. Flows that are sent to the server are run using the scheduling commands that are built into the server's operating system. The process of deploying and scheduling jobs and flows is the same whether you are using an operating system scheduling server or a Platform Process Manager server. However, there are some limitations in the capabilities of operating system scheduling servers as compared to a Process Manager server. You must use operating system commands instead of the Flow Manager for operations such as stopping or deleting a scheduled flow.
