Re: Looking for a good job Scheduler / Batch Processer
Please consider PLATINUM AutoSys for your UNIX job scheduling requirements. A large problem for companies using Unix is the management of distributed processing that is required within their environments. Many organizations begin using cron and shell scripts only to discover that they are not robust and scaleable solutions. The need for a sophisticated tool that automates complex processing has increased with the deployment of client/server computing within the industry. AutoSys offers a solution to this problem by providing flexibility, reliability and control to production systems. AutoSys is a batch control system for distributed Unix processing. Engineered for reliability, AutoSys brings mainframe scheduling functionality to production operations in Unix environments. Scheduling is based upon predefined job dependencies, calendar events, or file arrival. Features include batch queue functionality, dynamic load balancing, and job execution across heterogeneous networks with centralized control. AutoSys supports interdependent processing and complex branching logic. Related tasks may be grouped into jobstreams, managed and monitored as one unit of work, simplifying operations. Error recovery and high availability services are integral to AutoSys design. AutoSys incorporates restart and recovery features which automate tasks that normally require manual intervention. Jobs may be restarted, rerouted, or error recovery procedures invoked. High availability features provide automatic error detection and uninterrupted scheduler services.
