Problems solved by technology

Many of these traditional scheduling services are only capable of scheduling and executing specified commands, and are not suitable for scheduling or executing other executable applications or tasks
Furthermore, many of these traditional scheduling services lack mechanisms to monitor their usage, e.g. this would force users to pay for that usage

Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 is a conceptual schematic diagram of a system, shown generally at 10, using a common scheduling web service in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The system 10 includes a common scheduling web service provided by the scheduling web service wrapping module 20 of the scheduling engine 22 that "wraps" or encompasses it. In this way, different scheduling engines 22 can be accommodated and act as scheduling web services by the scheduling web service wrapping module 20 providing the scheduling web service interface to different users and computing devices wishing to obtain the management capabilities of the scheduling engine 22.

[0025] The system 10 also includes one or more wake-up web services each provided by a wake-up web service wrapping module 24 that “wraps” or hosts at least one application 26 . Each wake-up web service wrapper 24 is used to instruct its corresponding application 26 to issue a specified scheduled task for exec...

Abstract

A system and method that facilitates the hosting of scheduler web services provided to computing devices in distributed network environments. According to one aspect of the invention, the system comprises a scheduler web service wrap adapted for coupling to a scheduler engine that resides on a first computing device, providing a common scheduler web service. The system also comprises a wakeup web service wrap adapted for coupling to an application that resides on a second computing device in the distributed network. When the scheduler engine commands the application to execute a specified scheduled task, the scheduler web service wrap communicates an instruction to the wakeup web service wrap, which then commands the application to execute the specified scheduled task in response to the instruction. The usage of the common scheduler web service can be metered and provisioned as a billable service.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to web-based scheduling applications, and more particularly to systems and methods that facilitate hosting scheduling web services provided to computing devices in a distributed network environment. Background technique [0002] Scheduling applications (also referred to as "scheduling services") provide users and computing applications with the ability to perform specified tasks in response to scheduling requests. This scheduling may require the execution of specified tasks at specific times or in response to the occurrence of specific events. Optionally, the schedule may call for the repeated execution of the specified task at multiple times (possibly within a predetermined interval) or according to the occurrence of a recurring event or series of different events. Thus, according to a schedule, the scheduling service can then instruct one or more applications to complete specified tasks as requested. [0003]...
