What is AppWorx?

AppWorx (also known as Application Manager) is an administrative tool with which users may manage process-dependent scheduling.

Administrative systems user

• Schedule and run predefined modules (programs) or chains (groups of programs) that perform data manipulation in a specific order.
• Submit multiple requests.
• Review module output, check error messages and make scheduling changes.
• Easily check where jobs are in the queue.
• Change run-time settings via an Operator request if needed.
• Provide a historical record of batch executions for two years.

Developer

• Automate the scheduling of processes (modules) by combining the the requests for multiple processes into a single request-able unit (chain).
• Provide automated and/or manual parameter settings for modules.
• Pre-schedule modules and/or chains based upon calendars.
• Pre-schedule modules and/or chains to run at regular internals.
• Schedule the execution of modules and/or chains based upon the existence of data.
• Setup parameter validation so job parameters can be validated at the time of submission in stead of at the time of execution.
• Submit multiple requests or set up a job stream for overnight processing.
• Check error codes and dynamically change the execution of processes.
• Set and enforce complex dependencies between modules and/or chains.

Typically, an administrative system data owner works with their C&IT developers to create and schedule modules and chains.
