## 9.7. Running Interactive Jobs in EKM

An interactive job is similar to a batch job in that an external application is launched from EKM, but the job is processed in real time. EKM uses NICE EnginFrame for creating and managing remote visualization sessions. EnginFrame supports a number of remote visualization technologies such as DCV, VNC and HP RGS. It can also work with many job scheduling systems for load balancing remote visualization jobs. A schematic of the overall system architecture is shown below.

Figure 9.6: Overview of Interactive Job System

The following steps are required to enable interactive job performance in EKM:

- An administrator must install and configure EnginFrame. For details see Installing and Configuring EnginFrame in the EKM Installation Guide.

- An administrator must configure EKM to integrate with EnginFrame. For details see Configuring EKM to Work with EnginFrame in the EKM Installation Guide.

- An administrator may optionally define additional applications in the interactive queues that are created in EKM on startup. By default, interactive queues are created with a single predefined application called `remoteDesktop.app.xml`, which launches an empty remote desktop session. For details see Creating a New External Application.

- Users must install the remote visualization client on their computer or mobile device. For a list of supported remote visualization technologies, see the EnginFrame System Requirements at http://www.nice-software.com/products/enginframe.
