IBM Washington Systems Center Wildfire Workshops
WebSphere Java Batch Workshop
Overview
Abstract: Batch processing has been a staple of Information Technology since the very early days of computers.
More and more the topic of using Java for batch processing comes up. There is an open standard for
Java Batch, and it's known as "JSR-352." IBM has implemented the JSR-352 standard for Java Batch
and has added a set of operational enhancements as well. This workshop is designed to focus on
IBM's WebSphere Java Batch z/OS solution that is provided as part of IBM Liberty z/OS.
Note: our focus is z/OS, but many of the IBM Java Batch functions apply to all platforms
Audience: All are welcome to attend; the workshop aims to help any skill background understand IBM Java Batch.
The workshop focuses on the interests and concerns of the IT architect and operational support staff
who would be responsible for designing, creating, and maintaining the Java Batch runtime.
The workshop covers the JSR-352 open standard at the concept level. But we do not get into any deep
discussions of Java programming to the JSR-352 open standard.
Duration: This workshop is designed to run 2 days.
Cost? Like all IBM Wildfire workshops, this is a no-charge technical hands-on offering. The Wildfire program
is designed to bring IBM technology to our clients at no-charge so you can experience our solutions
and see how it can be used to bring value to your organization.
