Batch scheduling and SOA integration?
Posted: 18 Sep 2007 3:28
How do you see the lack of information within the OSA hype where there is almost NO information how to integrate with batch scheduling products.
All the focus goes to the fancy XML tranmission of nearly transactional webservices, but no remarks about requirements to integrate with batch schedulers (which nowadays can also incorporate webservices and messaging services).
When we do want to exchange data between platforms/companies and the volume of data is not suitable for messaging (and we want to use FTP), we probably still see this as a part of a service, but this one we probably want to manage it with a batch scheduling product which can submit/monitor the various batches to accomplish this.
How can we get the integration of a batch scheduler within the SOA program?
