"ActiveBatch has enabled us to abstract our
scheduling tasks to one console at our
technical and operations center. It has a
beautiful methodology."

ActiveBatch supports the creation of "end to end" workflows that incorporate and integrate Microsoft SQL Server functions as job steps within workflows. Among the SQL Server functions that are included with each ActiveBatch Job Scheduler system are:
  • Backup
  • DTS Package
  • SQL Server Job
  • SQL Server Report
  • SSIS Package
  • T-SQL Block

SQL Server's scheduling capabilities are extended by the ActiveBatch Job Scheduler combining and managing SQL Server functions with other workflows or jobs. ActiveBatch supports the running of SQL Server jobs on its server or on other systems running the SQL Server client. In addition ActiveBatch gives the designer a choice between agent and "agent-less" access to the SQL Server systems for invoking the SQL Server task, and incorporating these tasks into "end to work" flows on other systems and additional applications.

SQL Server users can now receive the full benefit from ActiveBatch's ability to support:

  • Job chainingacross multiple SQL Servers giving operators the ability to communicate and manage multiple SQL Server jobs.
  • Single point of schedulingto easily integrate SQL Server jobs with other scripts and applications all managed through the ActiveBatch job scheduler.
  • Pass informationfrom SQL Server databases to other servers, databases, or applications.
  • Improved reliabilitythrough ActiveBatch non cluster failover, checkpoint restarts, and workload balancing.
  • Integrating File, Resource, and Variable Constraintswith SQL jobs, DTS and SSIS Packages, to reduce errors and ensure that data is in fact valid.
  • Customizable and flexible alertingfor SQL server jobs finally give organizations peace of mind knowing that their data will be up to date each and every day.

ActiveBatch adds its advanced scheduling capabilities, such as Checkpointing, constraints or dependencies, monitoring or alerting or from the Integrated Jobs Library. such as FTP, SFTP, FTPS or even Web Services to your workflows by coupling the business execution logic found in SQL Server with the robust framework that ActiveBatch has to offer.

ActiveBatch can help your organization improve the integration of SQL Server with other jobs, scripts and applications into workflows that has been proven to reduce errors by eliminating complex scripting, improve service levels and allowing for a reduced cost of operations through centralized and integrated control of disparate and disconnected Systems and applications.
