With Batch Services, time-consuming, resource-consuming, and repetitive tasks can be run automatically. By making these tasks execute automatically, you can spend your time and resources on other tasks. Benefits of automating tasks with Batch Services include the following:

  • You can submit compute-intensive jobs into the background, and then go on to other tasks or exit the application or session, while the batch job continues to process.

  • You can set up jobs to repeatedly execute at any interval you choose.

  • You can set up a list of jobs to run in a specific order.

  • You can set the times you want your jobs to run.

  • You can specify that certain jobs have priority over other jobs awaiting execution.

  • You can submit jobs directly to a remote queue if Batch Services is present on that system.

Batch Services can continue processing tasks even after a system interruption. Batch Services manages the tasks so that you do not have to restart them yourself, providing the following features:

  • Batch Services resubmits jobs when the network is down, or the remote host is unavailable.

  • Batch Services automatically restarts jobs if the system crashes while a job is running, or if the system is down when a job is scheduled to run.

With Batch Services, you control the processing of tasks submitted as batch jobs. The following features allow you to manage task processing:

  • You can use Batch Manager for managing batch jobs.

  • You can manage batch and pipe queues on remote computers from one location.

  • You can determine which jobs run at a given time, and in what order.

  • You do not have to monitor jobs. Batch Services supports SMTP mail or event log notification when a batch job completes successfully or encounters errors.

Batch Services provides the following additional features:

  • An application programming interface (API).

  • Support for multiprocessor systems.

  • A command-line interface that can be used with scripts.

  • Job submission to or from Windows systems.
