• Access to batch services are based on SSH, I.e. a tunnel into the server where the batch service is running. Current implementations for

UI Components

The UI part of the Batch System Framework is hidden from the developer. For proper implementation you only need to extend the batchService extension point of the Batch Service Framework - all views, wizards, and editors are generic as long as the underlying Batch Service interfaces are implemented.

The new Batch Service Wizard creates new SSH tunnel into batch service

The Batch Editor displays the current state of a batch service and provides for interaction with the service

The Batch Job View displays all the batch jobs residing in the selected resource in the Batch Editor

The new Queue Wizard helps to specify a new queue in the batch service
