Scheduled jobs can be managed by monitoring the veracity of the data sets processed by these jobs. A multi-processing environment includes remote processing devices generating the data sets. A central processing device executes scheduled job, also known as batch processes, using the data sets. For each of the scheduled jobs, a scheduled job management device tracks the data set generated by the remote processing devices. Through tracking these data sets, the execution of the scheduled jobs may be managed. If one or more of the data sets are not the proper data for the scheduled job, the management device may thereupon control the execution of the job. Through the utilization of the management device, the execution of improper scheduled jobs may be avoided.
