Adapter Overview
Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for JMS
Introduction to Cisco Workload Automation 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 which they run, often with complex 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, Cisco Workload Automation has been defining standards for job scheduling usability,
scalability, and breadth of coverage. The role of the many adapters available for Cisco Workload Automation is
to make connectivity, control, and visibility of diverse technologies accessible directly through the Cisco
Workload Automation 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 Dynamic Messaging Environments
Automating job scheduling across message-driven environments can be a challenge. Unlike traditional
enterprise-level systems, message-based topologies require integration with 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 wide array of message queues and message types must be
understood and supported to enable effective application integration within these types of environments.
Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for JMS
Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for (Java Messaging Service) JMS extends the capabilities of Cisco
Workload Automation 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-wide job scheduling architecture. This adapter helps users overcome the challenges of scheduling in
message-driven environments.
Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for JMS enables IT operations staff to integrate message-based
application services into the broader enterprise scheduling environment, allowing users to create, send, and
receive messages that are transmitted through an enterprise messaging architecture.
