JobScheduler

JobScheduler - Overview

JobScheduler is used for the automation of, for example, processes and can use the proprietary SQL Server, Oracle or DB2 database systems or the free MySQL, PostgreSQL or Firebird.

You can use JobScheduler to launch executable files and shell scripts and to run database procedures automatically. Jobs are configurable as Web Services thereby providing interoperability with enterprise applications.

Operation:

• JobScheduler is a batch program, operating on Unix systems as a demon and on Windows as a service.
• It is controlled by JOC, a JavaScript-based user interface running in a browser.
• JobScheduler uses an XML file for the configuration of executable files or shell scripts and to set the timing and frequency of job starts.

Job Execution:

• JobScheduler processes both sequential and parallel jobs.
• Jobs can be organised into job chains to ensure sequential processing and multiple instances can be run for scalability.
• Job starts can be triggered by directory notification, built-in calendars or the web user interface, or by other applications (Java, scripting languages) via JobScheduler API.

Platforms & Databases:

• The operating systems and databases supported by JobScheduler are listed in detail on our JobScheduler Features page.
