+********************************
+`Using EDB Job Scheduler`:index:
+********************************
+
+In the past versions of EPAS, DBMS_SCHEDULER or DBMS_JOBS required the configuration
+of pgAgent, an essential service for their functionality. Maintaining pgAgent in a
+production environment is cumbersome. The need for correct configuration, regular updates,
+and ensuring the service’s health added complexity.
+
+EPAS 16 revolutionizes job scheduling by eliminating the need for the pgAgent component.
+The new version introduces EDB Job Scheduler which is an extension that runs the job scheduler
+as a background process for the DBMS_SCHEDULER and DBMS_JOB packages.
+
+The EDB Job Scheduler has a scheduler process that starts when the database cluster starts.
+To start the scheduler process, load the EDB Job Scheduler extension using the **shared_preload_libraries**
+parameter. After you load the extension, create the extension using the CREATE EXTENSION command.
+The database in which you're creating the extension must be listed in the **edb_job_scheduler.database_list**
+parameter.
+
+Instructions for configuring the EDB Job Scheduler can be found in the
+`Configuring EDB Job Scheduler <https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/pg_extensions/edb_job_scheduler/configuring/>`_.
