Azure Logic Apps replaced Azure Job Scheduler. Does ActiveBatch integrate with Azure Logic Apps?

Yes. Azure Logic Apps is a cloud service that allows workflow creation that integrates with other Azure cloud services and third-party applications like ActiveBatch. To integrate ActiveBatch with Azure Logic Apps, users can create a Logic App that uses the HTTP connector to call the ActiveBatch REST API, then pass parameters to the ActiveBatch job. Explore how our low-code REST API Adapter provides infinite extensibility.

Does PowerShell work in the ActiveBatch Extension for the Azure job scheduler?

Yes. ActiveBatch provides a PowerShell job step so users can execute PowerShell scripts and cmdlets as part of their workflows. ActiveBatch provides many job steps and extensions that can interact with Azure services. When used together, users can create powerful, flexible automation scenarios to meet their specific business needs. Discover the vast use cases available with the ActiveBatch PowerShell integration.

Does ActiveBatch support SQL Server?

Yes, ActiveBatch helps teams improve their data center operations and simplify SQL Server tasks with our SQL Server Integration. Our integration makes it easy to pass information from SQL databases to other servers, databases, or applications. ActiveBatch provides production-ready Job Step “templates” as an alternative to custom script creation so teams have a broad range of SQL Server database functions and tasks. Learn how the ActiveBatch SQL Server Scheduling Integration helps IT teams streamline their data center requirements.

Does ActiveBatch support serverless computing?

ActiveBatch supports serverless computing through integrations with serverless technologies like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions. Users can use ActiveBatch to trigger serverless functions to execute code in response to events like file uploads, database updates or job status changes.

Q: Can ActiveBatch access the Azure portal?

ActiveBatch does not directly access the Azure Portal. Instead, ActiveBatch interacts with Azure services through APIs, connectors, built-in job steps, and extensions. Using ActiveBatch, users can interact with services like Azure Storage, Azure Functions, Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Service Bus, Azure Blob, Azure Batch, Microsoft Active Directory, and more. This enables users to create and manage automated workflows that interact with Azure services while also gaining greater efficiency, flexibility, and scalability in workload management.
