What is Tidal Enterprise Scheduler?

Tidal Enterprise Scheduler is a Cisco product which allows for many things SQL Agent can’t easily do, such as allowing for cross server job dependencies; removal of a single job execution without cancelling the entire schedule; file triggered events; passing parameters from one job to another; job queues; exposing a variety job events including sending alerts when a job takes longer than a defined time or the usual duration; built in gui for viewing future job runs; defining maintenance windows; and no doubt more.

It has a database back end so queries can be written for getting information not as easily found through the gui. That said, like with querying anything directly, it is not so straightforward to the first timer.

While I am not the foremost TES expert by any means, I do have a small library which I’ll share in future posts and also elaborate more on the features and frustrations I’ve experienced as a TES admin.
