Does Event Manager replace SQL Server Agents job scheduler?
Not currently. For the most part SQL Agents scheduler itself does a fine job, and so we let it do what it does best — schedule jobs. Event Manager effectively acts as a wrapper around SQL Agent, providing many new features and functions SQL Agent doesnt, including an intuitive visual calendar, comprehensive job performance monitoring, and reliable, detailed notifications. We also provide these same features for Windows Task Scheduler and SQL Server Reporting Services, and will provide them for other schedulers in the future.
