Enterprise applications require the ability to respond to many real-time transactions requested by online users or Web Services. However, they also require the ability to offload larger transactions to run at a future time or automate the running of application maintenance work based on a defined schedule.Oracle Enterprise Scheduler provides the ability to run different Job Types, including: Java, PL/SQL, and Binary Scripts, distributed across the nodes in an OracleAS Cluster.  The UI used is the Enterprise Scheduling Service-Enterprise Manager (ESS-EM) UI.

See the section Using Oracle Fusion Middleware Accessibility Options in the Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware Guide.
