ActiveBatch Web Services gives developers a new cross-platform, industry standard
alternative to ActiveBatch's Windows-based COM architecture, enabling them to manage
or program ActiveBatch features regardless of operating environment. ActiveBatch
Web Services extends the ActiveBatch application by allowing cross platform access
to ActiveBatch Objects, Methods and Properties as well as easy manipulation of ActiveBatch
within applications and/or scripts.
Through the Web Services framework developers can harness the power of ActiveBatch
through their native environment on any platform. ActiveBatch developers have the
most comprehensive and powerful options available to programmatically retrieve,
access, manage and submit information across their extended enterprise.
Included with Web Services is ABATCMD; a new java based, cross platform command
line client. ABATCMD integrates with Web Services allowing organizations to control
and manage their ActiveBatch environment from any operating system with a Java Runtime
Environment.
Available Web Services Options
Using industry-standard protocols, Web Services allows developers to direct an application
with a similar level of control as through the traditional Windows COM interface.
Two programming models are offered through Web Services:
Simple Command-supports the issuance of single-line URLs via regular
HTTP posts, gets, as well as SOAP messages, in order to invoke the most popular
ActiveBatch object methods such as Trigger, Enable and Disable. These simple commands
can be issued from any Web-enabled device including desktops, PDAs and smart phones.
Full Command-allows for more extensive integration of ActiveBatch within
an application, including support for objects such as Queues, Plans, and Jobs. The
full command model also allows a superset of commands from the simple command model.
