Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapter for JMS
Introduction to Enterprise Scheduling and Adapters
IT operations that focus on the automation of business processes involve integrating a wide range of
custom and enterprise applications and the infrastructure on whic h they run, often with complex
interdependencies. In such environments, IT typically uses job scheduling tools to control batch and on
interdependencies. In such environments, IT typically uses job scheduling tools to control batch and on
demand event processing, which are vital to the success of a range of business operations from sales to
manufacturing to financial management.
For the past decade, Enterprise Scheduler has been defining standards for job scheduling usability,
scalability, and breadth of coverage. The role of the many adapters available for Enterprise Scheduler is
scalability, and breadth of coverage. The role of the many adapters available for Enterprise Scheduler is
to make connectivity, control, and visibility of diverse technologies accessible directly through the
Enterprise Scheduler user interface. The breadth of coverage these adapters provide simplifies end-to-
end scheduling of processes across the enterprise.
Product Overview
The Challenge of Managing Dynam ic Messaging Environments
Automating job scheduling across message-driven environments can be a challenge. Unlike traditional enterprise-
level systems, message-based topologies require integration w ith an enterprise service bus ( ESB) or other
messaging backbone that acts as a message delivery brokerage service to consumers that are connected to the
various messaging distribution points. A w ide array of message queues and message types must be understood and
supported to enable effective application integration w ithin these types of environments.
Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapter for JMS
Enterprise Adapter for (Java Messaging Service) JMS extends the capabilities of Enterprise Scheduler to the
message-enabled platform, making it possible to define and execute jobs for a variety of message bus and enterprise
service bus technologies and to integrate them into an existing enterprise-w ide job scheduling architecture. This
adapter helps users overcome the challenges of scheduling in message-driven environments.
Enterprise Adapter for JMS enables IT operations staff to integrate message-based application services into the
broader enterprise scheduling env ironment, allow ing users to create, send, and receive messages that are
transmitted through an enterprise messaging architecture.
Features and Benefits
Enterprise Adapter for JMS comes preconfigured w ith connection settings for many standard messaging
architectures. The follow ing capabilities and benefits encompass detailed features that users can ac cess in order to
simplify job scheduling in message-enabled environments.
Message-Enabled Job Definitions
– By using the Enterprise Scheduler w eb interface to create message-enabled
job definitions, the adapter makes it possible for users to connect to and deliver instances to the messaging
brokerage, w hich then places messages into the message bus. In addition, messages can be received by Enterpr ise
Scheduler and can trigger other jobs or activities as defined w ithin the larger scheduling environment. Mess ages can
be delivered v ia ―point-to-point‖ queues or ―publish-and-subscribe‖ topics. In point-to-point mode, only one target
―consumes‖ the message, w hich has the added benefit of allow ing the producer and consumer to w ork
