ActiveBatch
® Job Scheduling supports the integration of existing Microsoft
Windows Task Scheduler jobs, into workflows that can span Microsoft Windows systems
as well as non-Windows environments such as Linux, UNIX, and many others.
Windows Task Scheduler jobs are limited in their scheduling capabilities and do
not provide the ability to be incorporated into end to end workflows across servers
running various operating systems. ActiveBatch through its
Integrated Jobs Library allows these jobs to be sequenced and also triggered
by other jobs from Windows as well as non-Windows systems. Task Scheduler jobs,
using ActiveBatch, now have the ability to incorporate many of the robust capabilities
that ActiveBatch has to offer including monitoring, alerting, advanced date and
time scheduling or be triggered by a range of events using our integrated Event Driven Scheduling
that include:
- File Triggers
- Emails
- Web Services
- Microsoft Message Queue
- WMI Events
- System Startup
- VMware Events
- Oracle Database Triggers
Task Scheduler jobs can be managed by ActiveBatch using our
Integrated Jobs Library, by dragging the Task Scheduler Job Step, into the
work space, and completing a few Dialog boxes identifying the target machine where
the Task Scheduler job is located, selecting the job from a drop down list, supplying
proper credentials and then incorporating additional jobs steps such as applications,
web services, database functions, etc from within the Integrated Jobs Library.
ActiveBatch allows Task Scheduler jobs to execute and be used in work flows across
your entire IT environment without the need to create and maintain custom scripts.
Advanced Systems Concepts Professional
Services Group also supports the migration of Windows Task Scheduler jobs
into ActiveBatch jobs where they can make use of all of the enhanced capabilities
that are provided by the ActiveBatch Enterprise Job Scheduling system rather than
implementing Windows Task Scheduler in the future. Please ask for more details.
