Scheduling

• Triggering of Batch based on Cron Expression
• Triggering of Batches based on relations between them (Workflow of batches)

• Built-in implementation that extracts data based on a Pool, a SQL Query
• Built-in implementation that extracts data from Files

Monitoring

• Integrated notification of concerned users through mailing or or pluggable system
• Integrated notification on OutOfMemory risks
• Integrated notification on Pool exhaustion risks
• Integrated notification if Batch Execution exceeds a configured maximum duration

Exploitation

• Unit of deployment that groups batches of a project, their JAR dependencies in a deployable archive
• Hot deployment/undeployment/redeployment of Batch Archive

• Web application that controls many batch servers
• Pluggable authentication and authorization (LDAP, Database ...) on Ubik Batch Web Controler
• Modification of Batches configuration at runtime through Ubik Batch Web Controler

Auditing

• Batch historization in a Database
• Log levels control on runtime
