IT organizations are managing an expanding number of applications, databases and
technologies across a range of platforms, including physical, virtual and cloud.
Some of these applications include their own "closed" scheduling system (e.g. Windows
Task Scheduler, Cron, SQL Server, SAP,
PeopleSoft, etc.) whose automation capabilities
were never designed to accommodate building end-to-end workflows across diverse
systems. Developers need an alternative to building custom scripts to pass and share
data and manage complex dependencies across the enterprise.
ActiveBatch and its
Integrated Jobs Library provides a single point of automation using templated
job steps that are "Script Free." ActiveBatch's Integrated Jobs Library contains
over 100 job steps developers can use to seamlessly create business and IT operational
processes across a range of technologies and databases, including SQL Server and
Oracle, Managed File Transfers (FTP, S-FTP, FTPS), Java, Microsoft and
JMS Message Queues, OpenPGP, PowerShell,
Exchange,
Active Directory and many more.
The Integrated Jobs Library is augmented by
ActiveBatch Extensions for mission critical applications and systems that
include, SAP, Informatica PowerCenter,
SharePoint,
IBM InfoSphere DataStage, IBM Cognos BI,
databases systems such as Netezza and
Teradata, and more. These extensions
simplify the creation of end-to-end workflows that span applications and platforms.
ActiveBatch generates log files, across all platform types, containing the job's
output information that can be viewed while the job is executing or referenced upon
completion. Every ActiveBatch job and plan is fully audited with reporting to address
compliance requirements.
ActiveBatch Single Intelligent Automation framework simplifies IT's role in managing
systems and IT operational processes from within a single pane of glass. ActiveBatch's
scalable and flexible architecture gives organizations the ability to accomplish more in less time.
