Executive Summary
Overview
Batch processing is an integral part of an IT infrastructure. Core business processes-calculating interest and credit scores, payments processing, billing systems, end of month/quarter/year reporting and so on all rely on batch as the execution environment.The emergence and evolution of standards, middleware, interpreted languages such asJava, and new development tooling will have significant impacts on the strategic businessand technical direction of batch. This whitepaper will discuss the role an emergingtechnology - WebSphere XD Compute Grid - will play on batch modernization andenterprise grid computing.
Value Proposition for WebSphere XD Compute Grid
1.
 
Delivers an enterprise java batch execution environment built on WebSphere(zAAP eligible batch on z/OS)2.
 
Enables the incremental migration of COBOL to Java (on z/OS) thereby reducingthe risks associated with a batch modernization project3.
 
Integrates with existing enterprise batch schedulers such as Tivoli WorkloadScheduler (TWS), CA7, Control-M, Zeke to help deliver a robust, cost-effective,WebSphere-based batch execution environment4.
 
Enables new execution patterns including: Dynamic OLTP and Batch runtimeenvironment built on WebSphere; highly parallel batch jobs; and many others.5.
 
Integrates with the overall SOA strategy of reuse by enabling one to sharebusiness logic across both the OLTP and Batch paradigms.6.
 
Delivers high-performance batch processing by leveraging the System-z, z/OS,and WAS z/OS performance optimizations gained when executing within closeproximity of the data.
Common Use-Cases
1.
 
Batch Modernization2.
 
Highly Parallel Batch Jobs3.
 
Dynamic Online and Batch infrastructure4.
 
Batch as a Service5.
 
Replace Existing, Homegrown Batch Frameworks6.
 
Share Business Logic Across Online and Batch Paradigms3
