The SICS Scheduler system consists of a set of screens in SICS Sys Admin used to set up schedulers and jobs. The schedulers can then be started directly from the SICS Sys Admin which goes into so-called unattended mode and processes jobs. Schedulers can also be started from the command line and many schedulers can run at the same time. Starting from version 4.4.2 there is a new way of running scheduled jobs using the SICS Batch Server. ...
Overview # Introduction # This facility, usually shortened to ‘ADH’, allows users to convert an electronic document in one format into another - the second format usually being one that SICS itself can understand, typically an eMessaging message (though other formats are supported). It is a powerful addition to SICS, as it widens the scope of the eMessaging interface. Users receiving non-ACORD messages and notifications can transform the original document into the ACORD format, and process the resulting message through the extensive eMessaging solution. ...
Requirements # Java 21 or later runtime environment. For best performances, the index should be stored on a unit having a low random-access IO latency, like a SSD. SICS Search Folder Mode # SICS Search Folder Mode is not optimal and can lead to slow search performances and data inconsistency between the index and the database in a multi-user environment. It is therefore advised only for test or demonstration purposes. ...
SICS Batch Server (SBS) is a web application with a simple browser based administration web page. When the SBS starts it allocates and eventually starts a set of schedulers. The name of the schedulers to run, SICS user name, password and various other parameters can be configured in the SBS web application. The simple browser based web page can be used to administer the SBS and to initiate on call only jobs. ...
The SBS provides a simple web GUI to administer the SBS instance. The SBS admin console is available at URL: http://<hostname>:<port>/<rootcontext>/admin URL part Description <hostname> The domain name or IP address of the computer where SBS is running. <port> The SBS port, as configured in the JEE container (Tomcat, WebSphere, etc) where SBS is deployed. <rootcontext> The context root where the SicsBatchServer is published, for example, “sbs”. Note: If admin pages are set up to be protected the user must log in before the management console is opened. ...
