Like another poster said AutoSys is common enterprise multi-platform scheduling tool with it's own scripting/scheduler language. But it won't be cheap and it probably will be an overkill. Tivoli,
There are lots of similar tools out there, some optimized for the major enterprise ERP packages, RDBMSs, etc. Some of the larger enterprise multi-platform/ERP/DB schedulers can be found from companies such as UC4 Software, Tidal Software, etc. Another interesting open source scheduler (with optional support from the developer) is Open Scheduler (http://www.sos-berlin.com/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=osource_scheduler_introduction_en.htm). It is multi-platform, has an API, supports remote host job execution, is using XML format configuration files, job editor, job monitoring GUI via a webserver, optionally complex jobs can be managed via a number of majors databases (not UV though - but didn't check if it had a generic JDBC/ODBC driver). What all will have issues with UV and what should concern you is their inter-interoperability, impact on your U2 licenses (depending on how they invoke jobs), job management and the inability for UV applications executing to return return codes back to them to indicate success or failure of their execution. The later may negate much of the functionality of such tools if are unaware of the state of your jobs (specifically when the process terminates). ________________________________________ From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Baker Hughes [baker.hug...@mouser.com] Sent: Tuesday, 14 June 2011 7:23 AM To: U2 Users List (u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org) Subject: [U2] Enterprise Scheduling solution Many MV systems have some kind of home-brewed or even purchased scheduling solution for handling batch processes. Many times, in distribution or manufacturing ERP applications, certain processes such as Aging A/R, or stock replenishment/reserving, is performed 'after hours' by these schedulers. We've all worked with one or perhaps written our own. We have one of these, that gets the job done. Does anyone know of an Enterprise Scheduler solution that can handle jobs across a heterogeneous enterprise, that is also MV or *nix compatible? Rather than try and take our UniVerse based scheduler front end to the next level of perfection, we need a job/phantom/scheduler solution that would allow an Operator with little or no MV knowledge to monitor/adjust/manage jobs across a plethora of different OS-based enterprise applications. The Enterprise Scheduler we are interested in can be MV based, or other DB based, but must have a graphical front end, and must be able to manage jobs on non-MV systems as well as MV systems. Thanks for any ideas. -Baker ________________________________ This communication, its contents and any file attachments transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential proprietary information.
