MultiBatch provides significantly more sophisticated and integrated job definition. Not needing to write scripts external from the database job definition is a major benefit when managing a batch environment. MultiBatch has deep support for OSS processes. Specific support is included in the user interface and scheduler equivalent to that for Guardian processes.
IT teams need tools that support complex and advanced scheduling capabilities.
Developers and operations teams need the ability to automate workloads, schedule jobs, share data, and manage complex dependencies across systems and applications throughout the enterprise.
Management needs to know that SLAs can be managed with a system that can monitor itself, identifying failed or late-running processes.
MultiBatch allows users to configure and automatically sequence any number of background jobs.
Configuration, execution and monitoring can be performed from a single point in a secure audited environment.
MultiBatch can be used in a site-swap situation with the batch schedule continuing from the point of fail-over.
Users can clone model jobs and run them on demand for repeatable processing.
MultiBatch uses the NonStop parallel architecture by supporting batch schedules that execute concurrently across one or more nodes.
Program execution options for both Guardian and OSS environments are supported.
Param, assign, define, FD and Environment classes can be reused across jobs.
Sophisticated scheduling and calendaring facilities can be used to provide a flexible selection of jobs for any given day.
A comprehensive and detailed technical guide provided to explain all above concepts and usage.
