Heirloom Computing Inc. today announced a first-of-its-kind scheduler to run batch jobs on ELPaaS, Heirloom’s Platform-as-a-Service for moving mission-critical enterprise applications to the cloud. The Heirloom Job Scheduler works with Heirloom’s Job Entry Subsystem (JES) to make it easier and much less expensive for IT managers to manage their legacy applications in the cloud. Heirloom offers full support for legacy batch job languages such as IBM Job Control Language (JCL) as well as common scripting dialects, including UNIX shell and Python.

Cloud instances are started and stopped by the scheduler during a “batch window.” Fully compatible with IT operations today, the scheduler and the Job Entry Subsystem divide jobs into “classes” of resources (CPU, database, network), manages concurrency among a large pool of resources, and collects job “report” output for later viewing, printing or distribution from a central cloud-based Web portal. The scheduler frees up datacenter human resources, speeds delivering of mission-critical information and reports, and leads to greater application service levels…
