Summer Batch is a lightweight, reliable, efficient, open-source (Summer Batch is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license ) batch framework for the C# community.

Its design has been driven by the concepts exposed in the JSR-352 specification (which is a java colored but exposes universal batch concepts).

Purpose of Summer Batch:

• Build new batch solutions to be run on Microsoft®-based environments
• Migrate smoothly their batch legacy from mainframe to modern Microsoft®-based environments

Some of its key features are:

• Repeatable and customizable batch jobs
• Multi step jobs, with simple step sequences or conditional logic between them
• In-memory or persisted job repository
• Support for a Read-Process-Write logic, as well as arbitrary batchlet for a more complete control on the behavior
• Chunk processing with checkpoint management and restartability
• Step partitioning used for parallel processing
• Database readers and writers, with support for Microsoft® SQL Server, IMB® DB2 and Oracle® databases
• Flat file readers and writers
• Easy mapping between the readers and writers and your domain classes
• Batch contexts at step level and job level
• XML design for the main batch architecture, C# design for the properties

You need to use Visual Studio, version >= 2013 to build Summer Batch from the sources.

Simply build the downloaded solution using VS.

The simplest way to get your hands over Summer Batch binaries is to use the NuGet package repository.
