ActiveBatch Enterprise Job Scheduling
and Workload Automation supports advanced batch scheduling capabilities across a
diverse set of platforms that includes Windows, UNIX, Linux, OpenVMS as well as
Mainframes and other platforms. ActiveBatch allows developers and operations the
ability to automate, share data, and manage complex dependencies across systems
and applications across the enterprise.
Batch scheduling has historically been an approach to addressing IT requirements
since the introduction of the Mainframe. Executing, synchronizing and monitoring
thousands of jobs and plans each and every day with reliability and cost effectiveness
remains a requirement for today's environments. ActiveBatch's approach is a centralized automation strategy that simplifies
the development of "end to end" workflows across platforms, applications and databases,
starting subsequent processes based on success, failure or other conditional exit
codes without operator intervention.
ActiveBatch scheduling includes an
Integrated Jobs Library that contains over 100 templated job steps and flow
control that support the development of end to end workflows across systems and
applications without requiring a job control language or custom script creation.
These functions are integral for any organization utilizing diverse applications
such as SAP, Oracle applications like PeopleSoft or E-Business Suite, databases, stored
procedures, .Net Assemblies or Web Services.
ActiveBatch removes the boundaries created by "closed" schedulers or the expensive
requirement to create batch scripts. As a result ActiveBatch users have reduced
errors from manual operations and allowing for automation workflow designers to
easily add powerful functions such as Check Pointing, Restarts, Failover, Monitoring,
Alerting, Constraints and Dependencies
and Audits for improved performance
and reliability.
ActiveBatch batch scheduling has been tested to support the connection of two thousand
servers and submission of over one million jobs per day. Scripts, Tasks, Plans and
applications can be triggered using our robust
Event Architecture, Date and Time triggers, or simply the completion of
predecessor steps to ensure that each workflow completes on time and without errors.
Our "Virtual Root" design supports
multiple tenants so a single Job Scheduler can be shared by various users, departments,
divisions, etc in a private mode that ensures that your workflows and plans are
secure from unauthorized access.
Learn how ActiveBatch's "Single" automation engine
reduces complexity for the development of end to end workflows, improves
service levels while lowering the
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!
