Enterprise Server Console


The BulletProof Enterprise Server 3.0 is a pioneering product in the Java application server arena. With Enterprise Server management console you have the power to manage a server process - any application that needs to be run - with respect to when it runs, why it runs and what runs before and after it. Essentially, anything you wish to have running on the server can become a "job". To manage jobs, the Enterprise Server management console uses Subsystems, Job Queues, Job Priorities and Scheduling.

These features form a framework in which you can schedule anything to run on the server at the time you need. It has powerful tracking, logging and restart features that give you control over what happens and saves the process in the event of an application failure. Example uses of the Enterprise Server console:

  1. Schedule an end of day inventory reconciliation based on data about product shipped, returned and stored. Once run, have the server send this data to certain executives via e-mail or attached to an e-mail as an MS-Excel file.
  2. Check the database every hour for web traffic information and send results via alpha pager to network administrators.
  3. Run reports each night over your data while the server is at a minimum load.
  4. Have the server execute daily FTP's of data at the time you set.
  5. Query your sales lead database every ten minutes for new leads entered on the Web or by a phone operator. Once found, have the server run a database query for which local sales executive matches the lead's location. Then have it e-mail or page the sales executive with the lead information for immediate follow up.

This type of process automation saves you and your staff large amounts of time otherwise spent manually reporting, searching and e-mailing other employees with up to date data. There are innumerable uses for the Enterprise Server. It will not only execute jobs at intervals or based on external events, but run jobs immediately upon submittal to a Job Queue. Even with immediate submittal and execution you gain the benefits of tempered use of the CPU and reduced page swapping associated with overloading the server hardware with too many tasks executed at one time.

To build the kind of processes that will run on the Enterprise Server, use the JDesignerPro 3.0 Visual Server Application Builder to build the server processes that will be executed. The Server Session and Entity Modules are made for use as jobs.
