ActiveBatch® Scheduling In Today's Heterogeneous IT Environments:
ActiveBatch job scheduling makes available advanced batch scheduling
for Windows, UNIX, Linux, OpenVMS systems while also executing Mainframe
jobs with applications and scripts. ActiveBatch integrates disparate workflows that
span diverse platforms while working to support the increasing needs for improving
business process automation results in an expanding IT Infrastructure.
Batch scheduling has been a long time approach to addressing IT requirements since the introduction
of the Mainframe. Executing, synchronizing and monitoring thousands of jobs each
and every day with reliability and cost effectiveness remains a requirement for
today's environments, distributed as well as Mainframe. ActiveBatch's approach is
a centralized automation strategy that simplifies the development of "end to end"
workflows across include platforms, applications and databases.
Today's batch scheduling workloads require that jobs on one system can trigger workflows in
other environments using minimal operator interaction and a without the requirement
for a Job Control Language to control the logic of workflow scheduling.
ActiveBatch scheduling includes a Built-in Jobs Library that contains templated functions such
as DTS / SSIS packages and for Oracle blocks, as well as additional libraries that
enable Secure FTP, file operations (move, copy, etc.), iteration, and ZIP, just
to name a few. These functions are integral for any organization utilizing enterprise-based
scripts, plans and/or applications. Via capabilities like the Jobs Library, ActiveBatch
removes the scripting requirement thereby reducing errors and allowing for automation
workflow designers to easily add powerful ActiveBatch functions such
as Check Pointing, Restarts, Failover, Monitoring, Alerting, Constraints and Dependencies
to applications for improved performance and reliability.
ActiveBatch batch scheduling has been tested to support the connection for up to two thousand servers
and submission of over one million jobs per day. Scripts, Tasks, Plans and applications
can be triggered using our
Event Architecture, Date and Time triggers, or simply the completion of
predecessor steps using built in conditional logic to ensure that each submission
completes on time and without errors.
The ActiveBatch "Virtual Root" capability allows the power of ActiveBatch Scheduling
to be shared by users, departments, divisions, or even external customers in a private
mode that ensures that your workflows and plans are not visible while remaining
secure and private from unauthorized access or possible modifications.
Learn how ActiveBatch batch scheduling advanced automation capabilities, regardless of environments,
or numbers of systems, helps you to reduce complexity, improve integration of workflows,
while allowing for improved service levels and a lower cost of operations. ActiveBatch
is the leading solution in providing you with the capabilities to implement reliable
"end to end" workflows across systems with
documented financial performance that you can count on!
