Patent number: 11340941Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for viewing jobs managed by heterogeneous job schedulers on heterogeneous computing systems. Organizations often rely on workflow schedulers or job schedulers to execute and manage their workflow pipelines. However, different departments within a large organization may rely on different job scheduling applications for managing their workflows. Without the capability to monitor and manage all or a subset of jobs running on heterogeneous job scheduling applications across the organization at the same time, organizations lack the insight they need to make their workflow pipeline more efficient. The disclosed system and method allows users to monitor jobs or computer applications, including details regarding job execution and service level agreements, running on heterogeneous job schedulers across the organization.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Jonghoon Joey Ahnn, Gaurav Gupta, Prashanth Sandela, Praveen Kumar Thota
