Using Appworx to Schedule Jobs in Banner Joyce Feimer - IT Services Analyst and Eric Raznick- Director, ITS San Mateo County Community College District
Appworx @ SMCCD • About 27,000 students
Appworx @ SMCCD • Live with Banner 7 - Student, HR, Fin Aid, Finance, • Other products: Xtender, SARS, Ad Astra, Hyperion (Brio), etc.. • Using Banner since version 1! • Now using IBM AIX (Unix)
Appworx @ SMCCD • Why we wanted an automated Job Scheduler… • Had been on VMS for many years • Really liked “single threaded queues” • Didn’t have a lot of background in Unix shell scripts (cron is icky!) • Wanted something designed to work with Banner • Ability to monitor the jobs as they are running • You don’t have to feed it!
Appworx @ SMCCD • Type of jobs we run from Appworx: • Nightly feeds (sfrfasc, sfpfaud, tgrfeed, tgrappl, furfeed, etc..) • Hourly Shell scripts (stats, moving files around) • External Application Extracts • Warehouse jobs • Daily Statistical Reports • “Clean-up” scripts • Creation of “static web pages” • Baseline Banner jobs!

Viewing Output Files • We licensed a small program called RptView (Report Viewer) for Windows from Drec Software • Looks like “greenbar”! • Contact Info: • http://www.drecsoftware.com/
Important Things to Know… • If you copy the database – be careful… • In Chains - consideration of the “Predecessor” Actions are really important! (Success, Failure, Complete, etc) • Does not use the path statement the same way – you need to make sure you are pointed at the right version of executables.
