Batch Processing Best Practices in Transformation Scenarios
When we think of SOA, we generally tend to think of an on-line transaction processing. However, most of the enterprise environments use batch systems. Almost every legacy modernization scenarios that I work with ask the question, "when I transform to SOA, what about the batch applications and systems?" This is a question that is taking more importance with use of heterogeneous platforms, 24x7 processing, globalization trends preventing clear batch windows.
