Abstract: Managing batched jobs is provided. The method comprises receiving a job batch request from a client for a number of processing jobs. Each job is registered, and jobs that are ready for execution at a specified time are collected. For each collected job an instance of the job is locked to prevent duplicate execution. The locked jobs are queued, and a container is created for each job in the queue. A method of execution is determined for each job in the queue, and each job is then executed according the method determined for that job. Job events for each executing job are logged, a determination if a job was completed successfully is made according to its respective job events. A job status is updated for each completed job. The container of each completed job is then destroyed, and each completed job is unlocked.

Abstract: A hybrid configuration engine and associated method for reducing the complexity and burden of configuring rich coexistence between an on-premise solution and a cloud-based solution is described herein and illustrated in the accompanying figures. The hybrid configuration engine determines the current state of the on-premise solution and the cloud-based solution and learns the desired configuration state. After obtaining the current and desired configuration state information, the hybrid configuration engine determines and automatically performs steps to reach the desired configuration state. Finally, the hybrid configuration engine provides instructions describing the manual steps needed to reach the desired configuration state.

Abstract: A communication console may include a moveable plunger including a body and an arm. The arm may connect to and extend away from the body. A first element may be coupled to the arm. The first element may include a top point and a bottom point, the axis of displacement extending between the top point and the bottom point. The first element may move with the arm along the axis of displacement. A second element may be detached from the arm and positioned adjacent to the axis of displacement. Additionally, one of the first element or the second element may be a sensing element and another may be a detectable element. The sensing element may sense a spatial position of the detectable element and output an indication of a position of the plunger based on the spatial position of the detectable element.
