VisitQuartz Scheduler vs Xi-Batch
What both publish
| Fact | Quartz Scheduler | Xi-Batch |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | Quartz can use JDBC data sources, application-server-managed JNDI data sources, or custom ConnectionProvider implementations. | Jobs can use shell scripts and command processors such as Perl and SQL, and an API makes functionality available programmatically. |
| Notable limit | Quartz describes itself as not being a job queue, though it says it can serve as one at a small scale. | The product page says Windows server support is provided through optional client modules. |
| Purpose | Quartz is an open source job scheduling library that can be integrated into Java applications to run simple or complex schedules. | Xi-Batch schedules, sequences, and controls batch work across a network of servers as a replacement for cron. |
