Super: open source task scheduler for all application job scheduling

Super is a suite of Java tools. A toolkit for management and monitoring for your applications. With Super Scheduler and Super Watchdog, super is a task scheduler, for general purpose job scheduling and event monitoring, for all application job scheduling.

Super is written entirely in Java. It is component based architecture. It has the following components:

Super Scheduler: A task scheduler. It can be run on any node of the network at any time in your system.
Super Watchdog: A task scheduler for events, such as file time-stamp change

SuperArch is the framework for Super. All above components are hosted on SuperArch.

SuperArch provides built-in functionality as well as extensions as SuperComponents. Users can install extensions onto it.

Super and its components are written entirely in the Java (TM) programming language and are platform independent.

Super supports all the standard SQL 92 entry level databases, it has been tested on the following databases:

DB2 8.1
Derby (Open source Java database from Apache)
Hypersonic SQL
Oracle 8.1
Sybase enterprise server 12.5

Super is platform neutral. it has been tested on the following platforms:

IBM hardware System I RedHat 4.
IBM hardware pSeries AIX 3 5.
IBM hardware pSeries RedHat 4.
IBM hardware xSeries RedHat 4.
IBM hardware xSeries Windows 2003.
IBM hardware zSeries (mainframe S390) RedHat 4.
Linux: RedHat 7.3, server 3.
Linux: SUSE 8 (kernel 2.4.19-4GB) (IBM xSeries).
Solaris 7, 8 and 9 (Sparc).
Windows 2000, XP.

Super is a better alternative for other scheduler, such as Autosys for workload automation.

Internationalization

SuperArch fully supports internationalization. All text on GUI components and messages can be in any national languages. Translating a plaint text resource file is the only thing needed to do for supporting another national language. The program does not need to recompile. All the GUI components will be resized to fit their text on the fly.

A new text file is all needed to support a new language. You need to do:

Get the file superPhrase.properties and translate it to your language. Note: it is a properties file with key=value format. Do not change the key (left side of the equal sign). Only change the value (right side of the equal sign).
Use native2Ascii to convert edited file to unicode.
Name the file correctly. It must be either
superPhrase_<language>_<country>.properties
or
superPhrase_<language>.properties
where the <language> is two character denoting your language and <country> is two character denoting the variation.
Put your file under <SUPER_HOME> (the installed directory, default is AceletSuper).

If the Operating System is not for the desired language, you can modify file

setEnvironment.bat

setEnvironment.sh

change

JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xms32m -Xmx200m

JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xms32m -Xmx200m -Duser.language=<your language> -Duser.country=<your country>

If you want to use English, just delete superPhrase*.properties from <SUPER_HOME> directory (the installed directory, default is AceletSuper).

Document

The document is copied from Super EE, Super Scheduler EE and Super Watchdog EE, which are with enterprise features. The core engine of SuperScheduler/SuperWatchdog are the same. So the document is useful. But it contains something Super/SuperScheduler/SuperWatchdog do not need. It would be nice if these parts of document be removed. The document needs to be improved. Any contribution is welcome.
