Enterprise Scheduling of jobs. A centralized place for scheduling and monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have many different groups/departments that used to individually manage their specific jobs. Often failures in those jobs would go unnoticed until someone downstream pointed out or experienced failures of their own.

Other areas used outdated DTS packages and these database workflows were no longer being supported.

We have been able to consolidate all of these into ActiveBatch. We can segregate groups access to jobs in ActiveBatch but also monitor centrally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software will require a member of staff to create and manage jobs. Once this is deployed and the jobs are set to be automated, web and database staff will be the first ones to request thier batch jobs to be taken over. Pay close attention to the processes that your company needs automated as active batch can be set to not run specific jobs until prerequisite jobs has been completed, it also can re-run failed jobs. This is convenient, unless your systems to not tolerate having jobs running multiple times, causing multiple identical partial transactions. This is less an issue with active batch, and more with knowing ones own processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We scheduled our automated payment system to run with active batch. instead of using windows task manager, we set a group of sequential jobs that removed the need for us to adjust our schedule as we had to run increasing amounts of payments. this saved us from using a job failure as an indication of when we needed to make job adjustmnets.
