Job Scheduler description
Automates batch and database jobs, includes a powerful API and is supported by professionals

The Job Scheduler is a useful program that manages processing of sequential and parallel tasks and job chains, provides an API for job implementation with Java, Javascript, Perl, VBScript and automates the execution of programs and database procedures.

The Job Scheduler is a batch program operating as a windows service or demon, and can be controlled using a graphical user interface. The job scheduler uses an XML datafile containing information for the configuration of the programs, scripts and for the timing and frequency of the task processing.

Mode of Operation:
The Job Scheduler is a batch program operating as a demon, and can be controlled by the built-in web server's graphical user interface. The Job Scheduler uses an XML file for the configuration of executable files or shell scripts and to set the timing and frequency of job starts.

Job Execution:
The Job Scheduler processes sequential and parallel tasks. Jobs can be organised in job chains to ensure sequential processing and can be run in multiple instances for scalability. Job starts can be triggered by directory notification, built-in calendars or the web user interface, or by other applications (Java, scripting languages) by way of the Job Scheduler API.
