Turning Scripts into GUI Web Applications

How would you like to be able to turn any Linux bash script, command line program or Windows batch script into a GUI driven web application that any business user can invoke and manage from a GUI interface? And all in just a few clicks. Well, JobServer provides some great features to make this happen. JobServer, allows you to embed or associate any script or command line program to a Tasklet that can then be run in a server-see job. And the job can be configured to be invoked and run by any business user from JobServer's web UIs. The script can be manually launched by the user (and customized on the fly) from the GUI or scheduled to run at later time or frequency.

For example, an IT administrator or developer can use JobServer to embed their Linux script into JobServer and then expose it as a user interface based web application for any business user to manually run, schedule, monitor and track. The administrator can easily customize and parameterize the job/tasklet to allow custom input parameters that the business user can pass in directly from the web GUI.

Give JobServer a try, and turn any Linux or Windows script or command line program into a GUI application that be run and tracked by business users. What is also great about this is that the developer or IT administrator has full control over the scripts being run and can throttle capacity and disable/enable the scripts at any time. And they can track who has been running the scripts/jobs. All this with just a few clicks and some cut and past you can turn your scripts into GUI web applications!

JobServer 3.4.14 for Oracle RAC

We are happy to announce the release of JobServer 3.4.14 which brings expanded enterprise features to JobServer's scheduling engine and job processing platform. JobServer has always been designed from the ground up for massive job scheduling and processing scalability while being highly resilient in the face of hardware, network and database interruptions. Reliable, repeatable, reportable, and measurable job scheduling, processing and management has always been the centerpiece of our focus with the JobServer platform.

With this release, JobServer now supports Oracle RAC 11g and allows for hot failover at the database layer. By enabling Oracle SCAN configuration, JobServer can leverage Oracle RAC's dynamic failover and database routing capability allowing JobServer to continue to access critical database data and transactions during critical job scheduling and job processing functions.

"We are excited about our Oracle RAC support in JobServer as this brings another level of enterprise fault tolerance into the JobServer Platform". JobServer tames your job processing and scheduling environment in a way that is a joy for Java developers to develop and customize upon while providing powerful management and administration features for business users and IT operations administrators.
