  • Schedule or run processes in response to real-time events, files, data or messages for time-critical applications.
  • Add customizable conditions and branching paths based on status to build exception handling into your processes.
  • Schedule across multiple time zones and daylight savings rules, create patterns from any date or time window or use perpetual calendars that don’t require updating.

Orchestrate your most complex processes

Manage data and dependencies across mainframes, modern web services and containerized cloud servers. Use dozens of native integrations for cross-platform workflow orchestration in hybrid environments.

  • IT operations: Automate IT processes across on-premises and multi-cloud environments, operating system activity and web API interactions. Control servers and run scripts with lightweight agents for Windows, Linux, UNIX and more.
  • Managed file transfers (MFT): Move, copy and manage millions of files per month across Amazon S3, Azure Storage, Google Cloud Storage and more.
  • IT infrastructure: Coordinate resource management applications in hybrid environments, automate virtualization and run common OS and database tasks.
  • Business processes: Orchestrate ETL workflows, real-time dashboards, big data, ERP ecosystems (SAP, Oracle) and more.

Implement simple automation design

RunMyJobs is an intuitive, low-code automation solution that supports the entire process lifecycle, with simple promotion between development, test and production environments. Orchestrate end-to-end processes using:

  • A drag-and-drop graphical editor with an extensive library of included templates and wizards to encourage self-service workflow creation.
  • The flexibility to create or choose from a library of process steps, sequences and calendars that can be reused and shared across multiple processes.
  • Integrated source control, rollback and audit trails that enable complete lifecycle management for all your processes.
  • Support for more than 25 scripting languages and interfaces, including Python, R and PowerShell, with built-in syntax highlighting and parameter replacement.

Maintain high-volume job scheduling

RunMyJobs makes it easy to scale and automate endless batch jobs in any environment.

  • Manage data pipelines and dependencies from a central point of control, regardless of infrastructure.
  • Run processes in response to real-time events, file transfers, data-driven actions, messages and more.
  • Rely on advanced process exception handling that enables a clear view into the status of business processes.
  • Receive alerts and notifications to preempt issues before they create bottlenecks or impact performance.

A range of data-focused integrations

Apply the power of RunMyJobs to your data processes with pre-built connectors, including:

  • Azure Data Factory: Build and monitor end-to-end data automation chains.
  • Oracle Database: Automate stored queries, procedures and SQL statements.
  • SAP Datasphere: Transfer large volumes of data across SAP and non-SAP systems.

Batch job scheduling FAQs

What is the difference between job scheduling and batch processing?

Job scheduling and batch processing are related concepts often used in IT environments.

Job scheduling refers to the process of automating task, or “job,” execution in a specific sequence or under certain conditions. This can involve running data backups, generating reports or processing transactions. Modern job scheduling solutions are more powerful than simple task schedulers, as they manage dependencies between jobs, assign resources efficiently and optimize overall performance.

Batch processing is executing a series of automated, non-interactive jobs all at once (in a “batch”). It’s typically used to handle large volumes of data or repetitive tasks like processing payroll, updating records in a database or analyzing log files. Batch processing is efficient for tasks that don’t need human interaction and can be processed together.

The difference lies in the nature of task execution and objectives: Job scheduling is about controlling when and how jobs run, while batch processing is more focused on performing grouped tasks efficiently, often at times when system resources are more readily available.

Can you automate batch jobs?

Yes, it’s possible to automate batch jobs using workload automation tools. In fact, automation is a key benefit of batch processing.

Batch jobs can be submitted to a batch processing system manually or they can be scheduled to run automatically at specific times or under certain conditions. Once submitted, the system will execute jobs in the order in which they’re received and will continue to process subsequent jobs until the queue is empty.

What are the benefits of batch scheduling?

Automating batch jobs with enterprise job scheduling software has several advantages:

  • Greater consistency and reliability: Automation ensures that batch jobs run consistently, which reduces human error and makes processes repeatable.
  • Improved efficiency: Automated batch jobs can run during off-peak hours to optimize resource utilization and ensure important tasks are completed promptly.
  • Reduced manual effort: Automation eliminates the need for operators to manually start or monitor batch processes, which saves time and reduces errors.
  • Scalability: As organizations grow and data volume increases, automating batch jobs can easily scale to boost throughput and accommodate higher loads without additional manual intervention.
