Abstract:
1. A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for a job manager, wherein the computer-executable instructions configure one or more processors to: receive, from a client device, a request for information relating to one or more jobs operating in a plurality of operating environments, wherein at least two of the plurality of operating environments utilize heterogeneous job scheduling nomenclatures; identify, based on the request, a group from among a plurality of groups; identify at least one dashboard object associated with the group; for the identified dashboard object, identify one or more job objects or alert objects associated with the identified dashboard object, wherein the identified job objects or alert objects include a job identifier and a pointer to at least one of the plurality of operating environments, and wherein the identified job or alert objects are used to obtain normalized job or alert data, wherein the normalized job or alert data is obtained by mapping a first set of indicators from a job scheduling nomenclature of a first of the at least two operating environments and a second set of indicators, at least partially different from the first set of indicators, from a job scheduling nomenclature of a second of the at least two operating environments, to a common set of indicators; determine the requested information based on at least a portion of the normalized job or alert data; and present the requested information to the client device.
