Abstract

This disclosure provides various embodiments of software, systems, and techniques for controlled interruption of batch job processing. In one instance, a tangible computer readable medium stores instructions for managing batch jobs, where the instructions are operable when executed by a processor to identify an interruption event associated with a batch job queue. The instructions trigger an interruption of an executing batch job within the job queue such that the executed portion of the job is marked by a restart point embedded within the executable code. The instructions then restart the interrupted batch job at the restart point.
