ActiveBatch Oracle PeopleSoft job scheduler integration

Cross-platform scheduling for Oracle and non-Oracle applications

PeopleSoft is a leading solution for business application and process management but provides limited functionality in its native Process Scheduler tool.

Process Scheduler is not built to manage workloads outside of PeopleSoft, and in today’s complex IT environments, users simply require more advanced scheduling capabilities to integrate data from other applications, databases and technologies.

The ActiveBatch extension for the PeopleSoft application provides a single, cross-platform scheduling solution that executes PeopleSoft jobs, workload automation, batch scheduling and business processes across disparate operating systems, platforms and databases, including Windows, Linux, Unix and databases accessed via SQL.

ActiveBatch PeopleSoft extension benefits

The ActiveBatch Integrated Jobs Library simplifies the development and automation of complex business and IT processes within unified workflows developed using simple drag-and-drop Job Step templates.

This extension enables you to:

• Increase visibility into workflows and processes and manage all jobs from a single point of control
• Reduce expenses and increase efficiency by creating end-to-end workflows that integrate PeopleSoft jobs with other applications, databases and technologies
• Improve scheduling and allow users to incorporate PeopleSoft jobs into larger workflows — all managed in ActiveBatch
• Easily automate processes, such as file transfers, that upload and export key data types, including specific file names, to or from PeopleSoft Process Scheduler and external systems
• Seamlessly integrate data and asynchronous processes from across your organization and tools, including your CRM, ERP and HCM
• Eliminate complex workflows that rely on custom scripting or switching between closed tools
• Interact with jobs and processes within ActiveBatch via the Process Request web service interface and eliminate the need to install tools on the Execution Agent or Job Scheduler machines
• Enumerate PeopleSoft processes within an ActiveBatch workflow, including those with dependencies
• Identify complex workflows that include multiple batch processes in PeopleSoft with easy integration into Run Control ID
• Monitor and manage all scheduled and running jobs in real time

Improve SLA performance

ActiveBatch monitors service-level agreements (SLAs) associated with workflows, including PeopleSoft processes and other tasks. Instead of relying on manual inspections and estimates to determine SLA compliance, ActiveBatch enables IT organizations to automate this process for both simple and complex workflows.

ActiveBatch will automatically change workflow priorities and ensure additional resources are allocated to meet deadlines. These features make it easy to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and efficiency.

Advanced reporting and data management

The ActiveBatch PeopleSoft integration gives you a variety of reporting and data management options, including:

• COBOL: ActiveBatch supports the execution of COBOL processes for transaction processing and PSjobs, or batch jobs. 
• Crystal Reports: Use ActiveBatch to schedule and run Crystal Reports. This tool builds high-quality, presentation-ready reports with data from across your PeopleSoft applications.
• Data Mover: Integrate PeopleSoft’s Data Mover utility with ActiveBatch to streamline the transfer of data between PeopleSoft databases and facilitate efficient backup and recovery.
• nVision: Manage nVision report instances to gain deeper insights into your financial structures with customizable, Excel-based reports.
• SQR reports: Automate the generation and distribution of SQR reports, which are essential for producing complex financial documentation and statistical analyses directly from the PeopleSoft platform.

Extend capabilities beyond PeopleSoft and ActiveBatch

ActiveBatch leverages a robust API to seamlessly integrate data and processes from across your organization and systems, including the PSNT (PeopleSoft Native) and Process Schedule servers. Enhance your PeopleSoft automations with the power of external applications, using ActiveBatch as your orchestration tool.
