Administering the batch environment
You can configure the batch environment and manage batch jobs.
Before you begin
Starting in WebSphere® Application Server, you can use the JSR-352 programming model instead of using Compute Grid to run Java batch jobs in WebSphere Application Server.
The following restrictions apply to JSR-352 support.
- The Job Repository implementation is in-memory. Any knowledge about jobs that have executed is lost when the server (or servant) is ended.
- The operational features that are provided for batch in Liberty (for example, the batchManagement-1.0 feature) are not present in the JSR-352 support for WebSphere Application Server.
- JSR-352 batch applications cannot be managed in the Compute Grid job scheduler.
Each servant region has its own copy of a job repository as an in memory instance in its own JVM. There is no coordination between multiple servant region in-memory based job repositories.
