A timer master can assign scheduled jobs to other application servers of a cluster. Leases for the timer master can be started in a lease table. The timer master can store job info for the scheduled jobs in a database. In case of a crash of the application server, another application server of the cluster can be assigned the time master and use the job information to assign scheduled jobs.
