ActiveBatch Automates Job Scheduling On Multiple Machines By: Daniel Dern |
| According to David Cohen, Manager of BI at TheLadders, "I switched to ActiveBatch in 2006, primarily for our Business Intelligence and data warehouse group. We were using the OS's task scheduler, guessing when jobs would finish and setting reports to go out after that. When jobs ran wrong, managers would get dataless reports. So I was looking for a scheduler that could be event-driven as well as time-driven." |
