| Abstract | Batch jobs are the back bone of IT functionality in all industries. Typically these jobs are executed overnight, after "End of Day/Week/Month/Year" and perform business critical processing of huge amounts of data, to bring software systems up-to-date for the next day's business. Due to the huge processing requirements, batch systems have been traditionally implemented in legacy Mainframe environments. These systems are costly to develop and maintain, and require manpower skilled in what is fast becoming an obsolete platform. In this paper, I propose HiPERS Batch- a simple multi-server batch framework which: (i) is High in Performance -- can match the processing power of legacy batch systems, (ii) is Extensible - accommodates new batch business functionalities without code change, (iii) is Reliable -- recovers from failures and resumes processing from the correct point, and (iv) is Scalable -- easily handles growing volumes of business data by accommodating increasing number of servers in its configuration without performance degradation. HiPERS Batch exploits the data and task level parallelism inherent in batch functionality. A salient feature of HiPERS multi server batch framework is that the communication between the servers takes place solely through the database -- this does not impact performance as is commonly believed. As part of work done for a large Insurer, HiPERS Batch was implemented using Microsoft"s.NET framework 2.0 (HiPERS Batch.NET) with virtual servers of modest specifications (no more powerful than a modern day laptop) to replace a powerful legacy mainframe batch system; the results of this implementation, as shown in this paper, prove that HiPERS Batch is a viable framework for a modern batch system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
