BATCH JOB QUEUE MANAGER (BATCHELOR)
===================================

[](#batch-job-queue-manager-batchelor)

Batchelor is an batch job queue manager supporting schdeule task for later execution, controlling them and retrieving result. Suitable applications can be scientific or heavy processing tasks (like media rendering).

### QUEUES

[](#queues)

The job queue can be accessed thru both a web interface and web services (i.e. SOAP or JSON API). The simpliest configuration uses an local queue, but the installation can be configured as a frontend for multiple remote queues which gives an distributed system with a common interface.

### TASKS

[](#tasks)

Implement one or more classes that defines your application business logic and register them with the processor service. An incoming processing request is queued (scheduled for later execution).

A background process consumes queued tasks and uses the task registry to find a suitable class (among those registered by you) to process the data. The task class is called with input data and working directory.

### END USERS

[](#end-users)

An end user can have multiple personal queues that they can switch between. Theres also support for authentication meant to give authorized users extra powers, for example relaxed upload limits.

### INTEGRATE

[](#integrate)

See the file docs/GETTING-STARTED that contains information for integrators on how to configure batchelor to power your applications.

### QUICK START

[](#quick-start)

It's easiest is to use composer to initialize your project using batchelor:

```
composer init
composer require nowise/batchelor
./vendor/bin/batchelor.sh --location /myapp --setup
```

Start the scheduled job processor to execute submitted jobs. During setup or development of your own task its recommended to run in the foreground with debug enabled:

```
sudo -u apache ./utils/processor.sh -dk
```

Directory utils/boot contains script for starting the batch job processor at boot time. The scheduler can be monitored using:

```
sudo -u apache ./utils/scheduler.sh -lA
```

Remember to run these tools as the web server user or file permission errors will occure. If seeing errors, try admin/fix-permissions.sh first to correct wrong permissions on the data directory content.

### FURTHER EXAMPLES

[](#further-examples)

The system [ChemGPS-NP Web](https://chemgps.bmc.uu.se/) was built on top of batchelor. Visit [Batchelor project page](https://nowise.se/oss/batchelor)for more online info.
