Scope
- JobScheduler Master and Agent instances can be used
- on different platforms and
- from different releases
- With the JobScheduler Universal Agent more platforms will become available for the Agent and some platforms will be discontinued for the JobScheduler Master.
- The following information shows the degree of interaction between Master and Agent across releases.
Compatibility Matrix
- The compatibility matrix is provided for recent JobScheduler Master and Agent releases.
| Agent 1.3.12 | Agent 1.5 | Agent 1.6 | Agent 1.7 | Agent 1.8 | Agent 1.9 | Universal Agent 1.10 | |

- tcp:
- The address of the Agent is configured using host and port, e.g.
<process_class remote_scheduler="host1:4445"/> - Ephemeral Ports 59999 and below are required on the master side, see How to configure remote execution
- The address of the Agent is configured using host and port, e.g.
- http:
- The address of the Agent is configured using scheme http, host and port, e.g.
<process_class remote_scheduler="http://host1:4445"/> - Ephemeral Ports 59999 and below are required on the master side, see How to configure remote execution
- The address of the Agent is configured using scheme http, host and port, e.g.
- http with tunnel:
- The address of the Agent is configured using host and port, e.g.
<process_class remote_scheduler="host1:4445"/> - with an additional reverse proxy, https can be used, see JobScheduler Universal Agent - connecting via HTTPS through a proxy
- The address of the Agent is configured using host and port, e.g.
- optional keep-alive: to prevent a firewall from closing an idle connection a keep-alive packet can be activated starting with version 1.9.6, see JS-1454 - Getting issue details... STATUS JS-1506 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- keep-alive: JobScheduler Universal Agent automatically sends keep-alive packets, see JS-1456 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Feature Matrix
- Even though there is compatibility between different versions of JobScheduler Master and Agent as listed above, not all master and Agent versions support all features.
- The feature Matrix lists features and JobScheduler Master and Agent versions which support these features
