Workload Automation for Windows
ActiveBatch Workload Automation is tightly integrated with Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler. Organizations can now take a centralized approach to automation within a Windows environment while also extending its functionality and key integrations with non-Windows systems, applications, and technologies.
ActiveBatch enables IT teams to create and automate reliable complex workflows for IT and business processes faster and more reliably. ActiveBatch reduces the need for custom scripting, lowering operational costs and freeing up valuable IT resources.
ActiveBatch leverages the Microsoft Windows Security model offering the option for users to use their current user accounts and groups from day one.
The ActiveBatch Integrated Jobs Library offers templated Job Steps for building application and cross-platform workflows without the need for custom scripting. We’ve created a drag and drop system that helps you quickly automate everything from simple tasks to complex workflows with little startup friction. You can seamlessly create basic tasks, set time based dependencies, batch files, and set event-based alerts and more. It’s an advanced task scheduler that is intuitive and easy to use.
Among the many Windows Job Steps are:
ActiveBatch's powerful job scheduling capabilities include references, constraints, event triggers, monitoring, alerting and notifications, audits, and much more for the development of powerful and reliable workflows.
ActiveBatch allows developers to seamlessly integrate existing SQL Server jobs, SSIS packages, and stored procedures with, for example, Windows Task Scheduler, SAP, Informatica PowerCenter, and more as well as other Windows systems with non-Windows based applications, databases and technologies.
ActiveBatch's event-driven automation capabilities remove the need to manually trigger jobs across servers and eliminates the wait time between jobs so that processes run more efficiently and resources are better optimized. This can drastically improve service levels, putting information into the hands of business users faster. Workflows can be triggered based on dynamic events (e.g. files arriving, being deleted or modified, emails with keywords or to specific accounts, MSMQ, web services, etc.) which saves time over the use of traditional date/time job scheduling.
