What are people's thoughts about batch processing being an "application frontend" and thus not a service but a service consumer?
Steve, at what level do you position batch processing? Where on a BA diagram would "batch process" be depicted? Is "batch processing" a service in and of itself or is it an attribute/characteristic of a 'proper' business service? For example, assuming "Billing Service" is one of the identified top-level services, would batching be just another operation/interface next to the "one-off bill" operation? -Rob --- In [email protected], Steve Jones <jones.ste...@...> wrote: > > Couldn't agree more that batch processing can be better handled as a > service, its one of the "odd" things that vendors seemed to exclude > because it wasn't in their product set (or worse claim an old ETL as > SOA just to get some more license sales). > > Steve
