Architecture
Using a Database with regard to Compliance
Software- und Organisations-Service GmbH
www.sos-berlin.com
At a Glance:
If you decide to use a data- base, then you can locate it on any host and platform.
Connectivity is established per JDBC.By the way!
The advantage of using a database is that you keep track of the job history and log files for compliance of your IT processes.
Job history and log files can be accessed directly by the Operations Center (JOC) per browser.

Job Configuration
Using Hot Folders
At a Glance:
If you use Hot Folders then JobScheduler willautomatically monitor changes to the configuration.
JOE enablesyou to manage configurations in Hot Folders on disk.
The JobScheduler monitors the LiveFolder constantly. Any changes are immediately detected.
The requested changes are applied right away without the need for a restart of JobScheduler.By the way!

Jobs and job chains are stored in XML files Monitor Hot Folders and

Load Balancing
At a Glance:
For Load Balancing you can operate an arbitrary number of Job Schedulers in parallel.
All Job Schedulers use the same job configurations and database.
Job configurations are loaded from a network storage, alternatively from a clustered database(Managed Jobs).
Job Schedulers concurrently execute jobs and job chains that are synchronized by a central database.By the way!

Failsafe Operation
Automatic Failover from Primary to Backup Job Schedulers
Software- und Organisations-Service GmbH
www.sos-berlin.com
At a Glance:
For automatic failover you have to set up one or more Backup Job Scheduler Instances.
The Backup Instances use the same configuration and database as the Primary Job Scheduler Instance.
Job configurations are loaded from a network storage, alternatively from a clustered database (Managed Jobs).
The backup Job Schedulers constantly check if the Primary Job Scheduler is up and running and will assume control in case of failure of the primary instance.
The Backup Job Schedulers will not execute any jobs, unless the heartbeats of the Primary Job Scheduler instance fail to be detected.Primary Engine

Security
Basic Authentication
At a Glance:
If you want to apply an individual authentication, you can choose between Basic HTTP authentication and IP address authentication.
If you use Basic HTTP authentication the user specific passwords are stored MD5 encrypted in the Job Scheduler configuration.
In case you use IP address authentication a fixed address per client or network range is specified in the configuration.However, this does not apply for the use of terminal servers that assign the same address and for use of HTTP proxies.

External Authentication
Software- und Organisations-Service GmbH
www.sos-berlin.com
At a Glance:
You can choose to use a web server as a proxy between the clients and the Job Scheduler instances.
An arbitrary number of Job Schedulers is addressed by one web server.
LDAP, PAM and subsequent mechanisms supported by Apache can be used for individual authentication.By the way!
You could authenticate users against existing Unix accounts using passwd.PHP
