If-what analysis to manage batch systems

Batch systems play a significant role in banking and financial industries. These systems are usually large and complex and often lack end-to-end transparency. As a result, any improvement in these systems presents several challenges. In this paper, we have addressed the problem of “If-what analysis” of batch systems. This analysis assists the system administrators to provide recommendations in order to improve batch performance, stability, and cost. We define the problem space, solution approach and initial ideas.
