Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004029805A2] A system and method that facilitates the hosting of scheduler web services provided to computing devices in distributed network environments. According to one aspect of the invention, the system comprises a scheduler web service wrap adapted for coupling to a scheduler engine that resides on a first computing device, providing a common scheduler web service. The system also comprises a wakeup web service wrap adapted for coupling to an application that resides on a second computing device in the distributed network. When the scheduler engine commands the application to execute a specified scheduled task, the scheduler web service wrap communicates an instruction to the wakeup web service wrap, which then commands the application to execute the specified scheduled task in response to the instruction. The usage of the common scheduler web service can be metered and provisioned as a billable service.
