Job integrations to extend workload scheduling capabilities

A wide variety of out-of-the-box adaptors or integrations are provided to integrate your business processes. The job integrations allow you to orchestrate Enterprise Resource Planning and Business Intelligence solutions (PeopleSoft, Oracle E-Business, Salesforce) and other business related systems. New applications are added to your organization all the time. By integrating them into your existing HCL Workload Automation environment you save time in getting skilled on new applications because you can administer them just like any of your existing jobs.

By extending the concept of jobs and workload scheduling to other applications you can continue to define jobs for your business process, add them to job streams, submit them to run according to schedule, and then monitor any exceptions all from a single entry point. The job integrations require an HCL Workload Automation dynamic agent, HCL Workload Automation Agent (z-centric), or both. For more information, see Supported agent workstations.

Note: Some of the old integrations previously provided with the product, are now out-of-the-box integrations available on Automation Hub. The related documentation has been removed from the product library and has been made available on Automation Hub.

In addition to these job integrations, you can find new integrations on Automation Hub that extend your automation processes.

The following sections provide an overview of creating job definitions and job streams, submitting them to run, monitoring them, and then analyzing the job log and job output. These procedures can be applied to any of the supported job integrations.

Tip: Many of the HCL Workload Automation job integrations are illustrated in helpful, how-to demonstrations videos available on the https://www.youtube.com/user/workloadautomation2.
