job scheduler for Universe or Unidata

[neil richards]

Is there a 3rd party job scheduler software for Universe or Unidata

[Scott Ballinger]

D3 has a "backgrounds" scheduler, but for U2 I suspect the expectation is that you use cron.

[Karl Pozmann]

I would love to hear what your requirements are - I would seriously consider creating an app and publishing it in my repo under an MIT license.

At a prior site running Universe we had a browser-based front end which worked nicely that was custom.

I run Unidata on Windows and do quite a few tasks with the built-in Windows Task Manager.  I've also written a simple program that runs as a phantom when we start UniData and polls every minute if there's anything to be done in the associated (MVSERVICES) file, then phantoms that off if it's time.  I'd be happy to give this away but most people in this space like to do it themselves.  It can handle multiple dbms accounts so it is handy for doing things like building data and uploading and downloading and importing data.  We moved from D2 to UniData and had to replace D3's background scheduler.  I'd be happy to give this away but most people in this space like to do it themselves.

Bill, I would love to hear about how you implemented this in Unidata and what features you have. 

[Doug Averch]

Universe/Unidata does not allow for input statements in phantoms; otherwise, they take up a license.

We have a job scheduler we have been using/selling for years.

There are two pieces to the puzzle: Java/Web pieces and Universe/Unidata UniBasic code. 

Attached is the web form to give you an idea of all of the parameters that are supported:

I can be run without the web interface, but then you lose the cron options.

Are you running on top of Unix/Linux or are you on top of Windows?

There are native schedulers, written entirely in Pick BASIC code as well, so You don't have to use external functions of any sort.
