Summer Batch

Summer Batch is a lightweight, reliable, efficient, open-source (Summer Batch is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license ) batch framework for the C# community.

Its design has been driven by the concepts exposed in the JSR-352 specification (which is a java colored but exposes universal batch concepts).

Purpose of Summer Batch:

• Build new batch solutions to be run on Microsoft®-based environments
• Migrate smoothly their batch legacy from mainframe to modern Microsoft®-based environments

Some of its key features are:

• Repeatable and customizable batch jobs
• Multi step jobs, with simple step sequences or conditional logic between them
• In-memory or persisted job repository
• Support for a Read-Process-Write logic, as well as arbitrary batchlet for a more complete control on the behavior
• Chunk processing with checkpoint management and restartability
• Step partitioning used for parallel processing
• Database readers and writers, with support for Microsoft® SQL Server, IMB® DB2 and Oracle® databases
• Flat file readers and writers
• Easy mapping between the readers and writers and your domain classes
• Batch contexts at step level and job level
• XML design for the main batch architecture, C# design for the properties
