Diagram Notes:
• Jobs (JSL) are started through the JobOperator interface.
• A typical job is a series of one or more steps, where each step is comprised of a
reader, processor, and writer.
• Typical job steps read and process a series of input records and produce
output records in a long running loop with periodic checkpoints to support restart.
• Job history is stored in a repository and is available through the JobOperator
interface.
