Add a Job Task
Add a job task to an agent to run a job. A job identies a collection of reports, report views, agents, and
other jobs that are scheduled together and share the same schedule settings.
For example, you create a job named Two Reports, and select two reports that you want the job to run. In
IBM Cognos Event Studio, you add a job task and select the Two Reports job. When the agent runs and
detects events that meet the task execution rules, it runs the Two Reports job.
You can also add other types of tasks.
