Product description
Introduction
Facts
24/7 availability is becoming a requirement for online applications. Batch windows are becoming shorter. Operational tasks are getting more complex and stressful Faster problem solving response time is expected Efficient and reliable monitoring tools are in-demand
Until now, the lack of off-the-shelf software in this area has always been a problem for applications running under HP NonStop platforms.
Solution
BATCHPOL is a graphical user interface application destined to control and monitor scheduled tasks or batch streams using the NonStop HP NETBATCH scheduler. BATCHPOL will let you take advantage of the full parallel, high performance power of your HP NonStop multiprocessor architecture. Its objectives are: 1 To provide NonStop users with a intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for the configuration, operation and proactive monitoring of NETBATCH jobs, and to provide a comprehensive online help system to enable the users to better understand and use the full capabilities of the NETBATCH scheduler. To provide development teams with an efficient and easy-to-use tool for the design of batch streams. To simplify the knowledge transfer from the development to the production services of what can be a very complicated process. To provide production services in their day-to-day and contingency operation tasks with a single and reliable point of control for the enterprise HP NonStop NETBATCH environment. The operators / batch interaction has never been so easy. To provide capacity planning groups with a comprehensive interface for analyzing and optimizing system tasks and batch streams. Through a single mouse-click, you can easily move jobs from one CPU to another one. Batch stream run results can be recorded and analyzed offline.

Key features
Configure and Control NETBATCH objects and more .
BATCHPOL allows you to configure, to control, to manage and to monitor NETBATCH objects including schedulers, executors, classes, attachment-sets, calendars and jobs. No intensive knowledge of NETBATCH is required. Logical naming capability for jobs and calendars, because Runs on weekdays at 18:00 makes more senses than CAL00456 for everybody. BATCHPOL assists you in the configuration of recurrent jobs using BATCHPOL CRONTAB assistant. Take advantage of the full scheduling capability of NETBATCH. Print out runtime predictions for user review. User-defined batch stream presentation The list of tasks to monitor may be established either using a pre-designed model (batch stream database) or just all the jobs configured under your environment NETBATCH scheduler. BATCHPOL can display jobs arranged by dependencies, CPU number, next runtime execution, alphabetical order, classes or status. Importing job definition BATCHPOL is able to import your existing NETBATCH batch streams. The attribute configuration of the jobs to import can be retrieved from either the scheduler or from a loading obey complying with one of 2 different job definition standards. Job filtering Because managing over 1000 jobs can become a tedious task, BATCHPOL is able to manage and monitor subsets of your job population. The filtering can be realized based on the job class or the job name (naming convention must be in place).

Setup temporary NETBATCH jobs: Jobs can easily be setup, each user managing its own job library. For example, FUP DUP a set of files today at 8PM and SQL compile the testing environment today at 10PM. Send alert out if jobs fails. Calendar functionality Automate your applicative and system tasks according to calendars including public and company holidays or even maintenance weekends. No proprietary Job Control Language Use the TACL language to design job-control files. TACL provides programmers the full capabilities of the NSK system command language. If youre already a NETBATCH user, no conversion is required to implement BATCHPOL. Job-control file editor Edit TACL macros, obey files or any 101 files using BATCHPOL file editor. Enhanced EMS message browser EMS messages generated by BATCHPOL jobs are directly accessible from the job itself. Just point and click then forward, via Email, critical messages to the support team. BATCHPOL EMS message browser can also be used to monitor any EMS messages, based on SSIDs and event numbers. Job output management Outputs, like reports or log files, generated by all programs running under a single BATCHPOL job are accessible from a single window. BATCHPOL allows you to review and share any of these jobs. Job previous runs information analyzer Review and analyze job information (Total elapsed time and CPU used time) from the previous runs, presented as a chart. Business continuity Resynchronize NETBATCH scheduler of your contingency system from your primary site scheduler in just a few seconds. While monitoring your batch stream, BATCHPOL client produces a job control file containing the latest status of NETBATCH objects. In case of a disaster and once BATCHPOL is logged on to the contingency system, the job control file can be reloaded. BATCHPOL decides of actions to be taken for each job. Operations can safely resume execution of the sequence as if nothing ever happened.

With BATCHPOL you can run all or portions of your batch jobs in one or multiple processors (parallel execution). Using BATCHPOL Starter agent, NETBATCH is able to directly launch TACL macros and routines. No obey is required. For more flexibility, job dependencies can also be managed outside NETBATCH (optional). Using BATCHPOL Q monitoring agent, BATCHPOL will monitor the status of your most critical file or memory queues (optional). Manage and execute your critical obeys from BATCHPOL My favorite commands functionality. Complicated commands you dont want to forget are now accessible in 2 seconds.
