SuperLite 5.1 is a lite version of Super. It is a perpetual freeware
from http://www.acelet.com.
It consists of SuperArch (the framework) and the following
components:
* SuperScheduler
* SuperWatchdog
It can be used as is, or plug-in other component to perform
unlimited duties.
The main difference between SuperLite and Super (Enterprise) is:
SuperLite does not have J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) related
facilities. If you do not use J2EE, this is the ultimate tool
for your entire enterprise.
About SuperScheduler:
SuperScheduler is entirely written in Java. It is platform neutral.
The main features are:
* It fully supports distributed computing environment. You can
schedule and run tasks on any machine in the network at any time.
Many instances of SuperScheduler can run at the same time while a
task will run once and only once at scheduled time.
* It is scalable: if one instance of SuperScheduler is too busy, you
can always add another machine to run another instance of
SuperScheduler. All instances of SuperScheduler load-balance
themselves in a natural way.
* It supports many types jobs: Email, Java, Operating System...
It also support composite jobs and retry jobs.
* It detects missed tasks.
* It has a built-in GUI tool for scheduling and monitoring tasks.
Monitoring windows refresh themselves automatically.
* It can easily suspend task and bring it back to active. It can
run task immediately.
* It supports a running period for all tasks.
* A tasks runs on a desired machine if specified.
* All tasks can be programmatically controlled by simple Java API or
any other program (like C/C++).
* It provides very flexible schedule terms: minutely, hourly, daily,
weekly, monthly, on specific week days and at specified times.
* It provides very comprehensive holiday/weekend policies and
facilities. Any change to holidays will take effect automatically and promptly.
* It works well if your network crosses through many time zones.
* It provides a lightweight daemon for non graphic environment.
Your system can be arranged in different configurations. For a small
business, you can run SuperScheduler on the same machine as other
applications. For an enterprise environment, you can run an instance
of SuperScheduler in your remote data center, asking operators to
take care of it, while run another instance of SuperScheduler on a
manager's desk. Managers can schedule his/her own tasks for their
departments concurrently. For example, warehouses run inventory
checking tasks while sales run sale analysis tasks.
A task is guaranteed to run only once at its scheduled time,
regardless how many instances of SuperScheduler (either Doer or
Talker) run at the same time.
About SuperWatchdog:
SuperWatchdog is simalar with SuperScheduler. The main difference
is: SuperWatchdog's job action is triggered be events, not be
scheduling.
********** What is new:
Version 5.10 January, 2004
Enhancement:
1. SuperScheduler 4.1: Multiple holiday set is an advanced feature now.
This arrangement is convenient for most of users.
2. Support WebSphere 5.1.
Change:
1. SuperScheduler 4.1: Repeating "At specified times" changes from "all
things considered" algorithm to POSIX cron compatible implementation.
Bug fix:
1. SuperScheduler 4.1: Repeating Daily did not consider "Day time saving",
so there were one hour shift in April and October.
