Print and Publishing. JobScheduler uses the YADE Managed File Transfer Solution to carry out extensive file transfer operations. The architecture is such that a Master JobScheduler is implemented to receive orders for the transfer of incoming files. In addition, about 100 JobSchedulers on different servers monitor the directories that receive the incoming files. Once files have arrived these JobSchedulers generate transfer orders that are then sent to the Master JobScheduler. This in turn forwards file transfer instructions to YADE . A  further JobScheduler has been configured as a Supervisor to implement the remote configuration of the other JobSchedulers.

We utilize SOS JobScheduler for our daily productions operations with extensive use of Job Chains. These have many associated jobs which ensure that operationally we process jobs in the correct sequence and that prerequisite job steps are completed. We also make use of the e-mail notification features which sends emails for any job failures and for successful results of some critical off-hour jobs.

Lottery and Gaming Technology Solutions. JobScheduler is a central component in the automation of 24x7 Operations, including file transfers and workflow for maintenance tasks.

Prior to implementing JobScheduler, Honey Baked used a combination of SQL Jobs, and Microsoft Tasks Scheduler to handle running of scheduled tasks. This method made it difficult to monitor and manage, but now with JobScheduler, there is a single plane of glass that shows all schedules, jobs and what is currently running. Makes it very easy to see when jobs are stuck or have errors, speeding resolution time.

Prior to JobScheduler implementation, if a machine that had tasks scheduled on it went down for any reason, tasks had to be manually rescheduled on other machines, now with “Process Classes” tasks, just run on a different machine, bypassing the one that is offline.

Honey Baked has a significate number of tasks that run every couple of minutes all day long, previously these tasks would all line up and cause performance spikes on the database back-end. Now with JobScheduler and the Finish-To-Start scheduling tasks start more randomly spreading out the spikes. Email alerting on failing, erroring, or long running tasks has reduced the amount of time spent monitoring tasks, as now we don’t have to manually look for these issues.

JobScheduler has brought Enterprise Level task scheduling to Honey Baked at a very reasonable price.

I have recommended JobScheduler to several different companies as it has been very solid for us at Honey Baked.

Gruner + Jahr is Europe's second largest print and publishing house. JobScheduler was chosen to replace Cron because of its ability to handle more complex scheduling szenarios and job dependencies than was possible with Cron. JobScheduler interfaces provide information about the daily work plans and enable workflow mapping. Existing FTP jobs (Perl) have been replaced with the YADE Managed File Transfer solution.

One of our customers needed an automation solution that would allow them to replace the manual operation of all their nightly closure processes. After careful review of the available solutions we chose JobScheduler as the best tool for the customer's needs. Up until now JobScheduler has been able to replace all the manual tasks that were involved in the different processes. These include retail sales load, financial interfaces, price generation and distribution, with the JobSchedulers running on a variety of platforms including AIX, Solaris, RedHat and Windows. In addition we were able to use the JobScheduler audit trail to find ways to optimize processes and pinpoint problem areas.
