Is the Xi-Batch system difficult to install and learn?
Not at all. Installation can be accomplished in just a few minutes. Once you copy the distribution files to your system and create a special user account to own the Xi-Batch files and programs, installation is quick and straightforward. Xi-Batch does not interfere with your existing systems, meaning that you can evaluate, test and migrate to a Xi-Batch powered system with a minimum of hassle. My operators are busy enough now. I’m worried that if users start submitting jobs through Xi-Batch, it will create more work for the operations staff. Actually, Xi-Batch will likely reduce the amount of work your operators need to do. Users who submit jobs using Xi-Batch can use the same monitoring and control screens available to the operators, but restricted in scope to just their own jobs. Users can be given much more control over their own work without having to grant them administrative rights to the jobs of others.
