CA WA AE – Planned FeaturesAs of October 2015

Feature Description Benefit

AdvancedIntegration for Hadoop

Provide Scheduler integration with Hadoopjobtypes like HDFS, Oozie, Sqoop, HiVe and PIG

Ability to monitor and manage Hadoop and non-Hadoop jobsas part of a single workflow

Granular level security for sendevent

Expose additional level of granular level security to control jobs, machines, global variables etc when using sendevent

Ability to control at a much granular level using sendevent

4



CA WA AE - Under ConsiderationAs of October 2015

Features Description Benefit

Native support for 64 bit platforms Move to 64-bit architecture including OS and DB

Performance Improvement, more process memory. Reduces risk from 3rd party vendors dropping support for 32-bit libraries. Simplifies installation and reduces configuration/compatibility problems.

Virtual resources support for box Jobs Ability to define global resourcedependencies to box level

More control on your scheduling environment. Many enterprises use box jobs as logical containers for their service levels

Must start/complete times without date conditions Provide the ability to define Muststart/complete times without having to associate with a date condition

Extend alarm notification without having to define a date condition. Reduces overhead with calendar administration

Ability to place activated jobs on NO_EXEC Provide ability to place activated jobs withina box NO_EXEC

Customers can now put activated jobs on NO_EXEC without having to fear triggering downstream jobs

Allow user to change default polling time File andDatabase Triggers

Allow user to change default polling time File and Database Triggers

Customers can now alter the default polling time with a value based on specific runtime requirements

Provide database authentication exit Provide alternatives to existing traditional authentication exit

Customers can code to their custom database authentication exits

5





Global variable support into job type attributes (in a phased manner)

Provide Global Variable substitution in job type parameters

Dynamic variable substitution

Enhance email notification for job related alarms Add more job related alarms to email notification

Customers get notified on more job related alarms

Enhance FTP job types to use certificates instead of credentials

Enhance FTP job types to use modern types of authentication

Customers can use more secure types of authentication

Generate list of jobs by specific machine using CLI Enhance autorep CLI functionality to filter by machine

Customers do not have to write custom scripts to parse autorep output

Run chase against a single machine Enhance chase CLI functionality to filter by machine

Customers do not have to write custom scripts to parse chase output

Job heartbeat Provide job heartbeat interval as part of the job definition

Scheduler gets notified on the progress of long running jobs at regular intervals

i5/OS subsystem support Adding support for Sub System Currently AE mandate to install 2 agents (one for Native and another for Unix Sub System) to run jobs. With this integration, customers do not have to install 2 agents to run jobs

DB query failure alarm DBQuery alarm gets sent to SNMP without having to write to database.

DB Problem alarm gets sent to SNMP by both Scheduler and Application Server even during DB connection issues.

6





Multithreaded Listener support Enhance single threaded listener to multithreaded architecture

Improved agent status processing. Eliminatefalse chase alarms.

Enhance log tracing Enhanced log tracing – standard logging versusadvanced logging

Logs with tracing collected in real time thus eliminating the need to recreate problem with traces

Scheduling to applications in the Cloud Provide the ability to schedule to applications running in the cloud

Cloud scheduling capabilities

Integration with SAP Business Objects (BO), Process Integration(PI)

Provide native integrations with SAP BO and PI Eliminates silos. Customers can now integrate with SAP BO and PI

Enhancing existing SAP Job Type We are supporting the 2.0 of the interface now and we want to upgrade to 3.0 (XBP – external business processing) version of the interface.

Customers can define temporary variants as part of the job definition and spool enhancements

Granular level security for sendevent Restore WCC functionality and provide it from the base engine level

Customers will have more granular level control on who can issue what kind of events.

Support for INFORMATICA and SQL Server Provide native support for Informatica and SQL Server jobtypes

Customers can use the native support as opposed to writing scripts and running command jobs

7





New flow for application editor Improving and modernizing job flow in application editor.

Upgrading due to license end (iLog)

Better scalability and performance, new modernUI, better look and feel for users

Ability to list future events When submitting future event, list of already submitted future events will be displayed

Avoidance of double submitting of already submitted event.

Ability to get history of performed events Review the history of performed events. Avoidance of double submitting of already submitted event.

Ability to perform batch job operations Ability to quickly change job attributes, delete jobs, perform events

Ability to perform batch operations in WCC

Expose new cluster nodes widget Ability to see status of WCC nodes in HA; logretrieval from WCC UI

Status check of the WCC nodes in HA cluster; ability to get logs without the need to access remote filesystem

Failover to the next AppServer in the list when no response for some period of time

Failover to the next AppServer in the list when no response for some period of time

Automatic failover without loss of business

Create object tree with flow and details Creating and bringing back modernized job tree from 11.1

Making work of operators easier with having hierarchy structure and everything on one single page

8





Job Flow Enhancements Improving current job flow to respond with latest changes (available in iDash), fixing minor bugs and adding enhancements requested by customers

Look and feel, usability

Custom colors for job statuses in flow Ability to select colors to indicate severity of various job statuses

Customization of job nodes status color to reflect custom order of job status severity

Display job instructions Ability to assign the document with instruction to jobs (via URL); URL will be quickly accessible from WCC

Job run instructions are quickly accessible directly from WCC without manual steps

Job detail in Monitoring Ability to see jobs structure, flow and selected job details in one screen

No need to switch between WCC tabs

Enhancement to Users widget Ability to terminate one or more WCC usersessions

Administrator can force users to logout (frequently requested feature)

Add calendars to flows Ability to see associated calendars for jobs in flow

Quick overview over the flow dependencies

Streamlined resources management AE Resources editable from QuickEdit. Resources visible on dedicated Dashboard widget
