First grid-enabled JobSchedule. (IT News).Platform JobScheduler 5, a next-generation job scheduler A job scheduler is an enterprise software application that is in charge of unattended background executions, commonly known for historical reasons as batch processing. They may also be known as Distributed Resource Management Systems (DRMS) or engineered to meet the demands of distributed computing (1) The use of multiple computers networked throughout a wide geographical area, or the world via the Internet, in order to solve a single problem. See grid computing. (2) The use of multiple computers in an enterprise rather than one centralized system. , is based on an open, grid-enabled architecture that uses Platform LSF LSF Lisofylline, see there , the industry's workload management solution, to automate, schedule, and manage the job flows and process automation across distributed Linux, Unix and Windows clusters. Comment: Today's heterogeneous and complex computing environment demands highly scalable, cross-platform job scheduling In a large computer, establishing a job queue to run a sequence of programs over any period of time such as a single shift, a full day, etc. products. In addition to the normal job scheduler functionality, there is a need for job schedulers to fill the gap of batch application integration and process automation needs in a growing and changing computing environment Job schedulers also provide an opportunity to consolidate and reduce multiple scheduling points across the enterprise and to effectively manage dependencies and events. Key features of JobScheduler 5 include: Extensible Open Architecture. JobScheduler 5 is built on open architecture. It supports XML based flow definitions, and through published interfaces, including CLI (1) (Call Level Interface) A database programming interface from the SQL Access Group (SAG), an SQL membership organization. SAG's CLI is an attempt to standardize the SQL language for database access. and Java API, ensures application integration and adaptation with other enterprise software. Enterprise Event-Based Job Scheduling: It also provides a flexible scheduling environment where job execution can be contingent upon Adj. 1. contingent upon - determined by conditions or circumstances that follow; "arms sales contingent on the approval of congress" contingent on, dependant on, dependant upon, dependent on, dependent upon, depending on, contingent a number of events. Jobs can be triggered based on job or subflow dependencies; time, calendar and file events; or arbitrary, custom-defined events. Intuitive Flow Definition and Runtime Management: JobScheduler 5's graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to helps to define job flows and event dependencies, monitor job flow execution, and create custom calendars. It also provides built in exception handlers that automatically correct errors and send alarm notifications in response to failures. Resource Virtualisation. As the first Grid-enabled job scheduler, JobScheduler 5 provides resource virtualisation through clustering. It executes job flows through an execution infrastructure, which eliminates the need to designate the specific servers or hosts that each job within a job flow must run on. www.platform.com. |
