Operational Issues in Large-scale Environments

Evolving Server Integration and Virtualization

Against the backdrop of cost reduction, server integration through virtualization has recently made great advances

• System infrastructure by business unit • Promotion of virtualization • Promotion of infrastructure integration

The trend toward integrating all IT resources of an entire enterprise into one center is accelerating from the perspective of cost reduction. In the enterprise data center, with further cost reduction as its aim, the scaling up of the operating environment is moving along through integration into a virtualized technology-driven environment.

Common Customer Issues

Operational issues as a result of scaling up the operating environment

4

System operations have become complex as a result of the scaling up

The schedule time increases in proportion to the registered number As a result of integration, linked relationships increase, and the business build patterns become

complex As business complexity increases, the tasks required to build businesses and to understand the

status have become complex


A scheduler is required that can support large-scale operating environments

4


Enables concurrent execution of the same job net Supports startup of on-demand jobs, for which multiple requests tend to be received at the same time Reduces the number of job net definitions, because multiple job nets can be started with one definition Can hold results separately for each execution

Efficient on-demand batch processing

Execution control

Started concurrently with a single definition

Has additional jobs required for on-demand batch processing Pass parameters between jobs Create a more flexible flow that uses decision jobs for branching the flow Use the “wait with OR” condition to wait for multiple preceding jobs

Expands the job types to enable on-demand batch processing

Expansion of Job Types

Job definition

V13.8 NEW

"Wait with OR" condition from multiple routes

Manage branching and aggregation

with decision jobs

Set startup conditions for jobs in the flow:

Pass parameters between jobs

(such as file names)

Sets startup conditions for jobs in the flow

You can express the job flow in a job net as is.

- Wait for file - Occurrence of message event - Arrival of specified time - Wait for specified time

Achieve Stable Operations in Large-scale Environments

6:00 22:00

Business operation records can be analyzed and evaluated

The operational status of the business can be visually monitored

Batch business/online business/backups etc. can be scheduled flexibly

Provides total support from automated operation of the entire system through to scheduling of jobs to achieve stable operation of the business system

Automated Operation of the Business System

Through automated operation of the system, greater efficiency of the operation tasks is realized

Automatic execution is used, from the powering on of the physical server to the startup of the virtual machine and the business operations Unnecessary virtual servers are stopped depending on the time of day

Planning and Execution of Business

Plan-based automated operations to prevent illegal operations and human errors

Business data

Backup data

* A backup product such as ARCserve is required to perform the backup.

Automatic execution (business schedule) Stop business Stop virtual machine Automatic backup


Standardization of backup procedures by automating the series of operations up to "business completion check and backup" Unnecessary virtual servers are stopped depending on the time of day

10

Visualized Operations Understand the overall operational status using a visual monitoring window


Efficient monitoring of the overall operational status using a visual GUI screen Automatic notification of errors via audio or email, for example, which prevents problems from being overlooked The difference between the business schedule and execution status can be easily understood

Monitoring of the entire system Monitoring per server

A summary of the execution status of multiple servers is displayed in one window

The execution status is displayed using different colors in a Gantt chart

11

"Because of a problem, I want to temporarily cancel today's business schedule, and once the urgent fix is finished, I want to run the jobs manually and in sequence"

"I need to perform device maintenance, so a temporary change in the schedule is required, to temporarily run a job at 20:00 tomorrow only, that normally runs every Thursday at 18:00"

Product Excellence

A configurable scheduler that provides flexible support for unexpected changes


Temporary changes can be scheduled in advance, specifying the change period from start to finish, so you won't forget to reset it

The change content is reflected in the schedule immediately, so there are no time wasting tasks required, such as sending back the plan or re-release tasks, to competently handle the unexpected changes

Pre-configured schedules run automatically - and now a superior scheduler that can be fine tuned to handle all business changes is supported

Changes in business are inevitable, so it is no longer enough to simply implement an entire system as planned. We have endeavored to not only improve the efficiency of business operations using simple automation, but also to provide a flexible scheduler that can absorb the effects of multiple temporary changes on operations.

Compared to our competitor's schedulers, only one-sixth of the annual man-hours is required to handle operation changes.

14

Easy System Installation

Shortens installation time for a new system and migration towards newer versions

Only one installation is required The full functions are batch installed After the installation, an environment is provided that can

be operated immediately The definition information is converted automatically

during the installation, for both version increases and upgrades

The definition information is distributed as a policy, and is applied automatically

Additional server Existing server

The only required task is distribution, because application is automatic

Even if there many servers, the task is simple and the configuration can be completed in a short time


New installation:

Adding servers:

Version upgrade:

Backup of the environment:

Only one installation is required Schedules and jobs can be batch defined using a policy Additional servers can be batch defined using the existing server environment definitions and job definitions using a policy The definition information is migrated automatically when installing upgrades The job execution environment is backed up without stopping the business

Flexible Schedule Settings

Flexible support for irregular operation patterns

Holidays can easily be set in a calendar Business that starts on a business day can easily be set using just a calendar Alternate weeks, and cycle startup days occurring every three months, can easily be set It is also easy to configure the setting so that the startup day shifts to the next business day if the

startup day is a holiday Irregular operation patterns that do not conform to standard operations are defined as startup day

templates


Standard patterns are configured in a calendar, and the calendar is recreated automatically every year The business day and holiday shift are configured automatically simply by specifying the operation cycle

Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays are configured as holidays (future agendas

are preset)

The first "3rd business day" of the month, for example, is specified

Irregular operation patterns are defined as startup day templates

17

Support for Business Changes is also Provided in Advance

Special schedules are also preset, so you won't need to worry about forgetting to reset them

The schedule change is implemented in advance "after a specified date", and the changes are reflected to "after a specified date" automatically

For "only specified dates", when the specified date is exceeded the reset of the changes are implemented automatically
