The BlueSky Integration Studio Server Component

BlueSky Integration Studio was designed to be as flexible and open as possible for the .NET developer. The Server Component gives you the capability to interact with any BlueSky Integration Studio Server from your own custom .NET applications to run jobs, monitor jobs, access the statistics and log files, and set parameters on-the-fly. For instance, you could design back-end, server-based processes related to your application and run them based on events triggered by a user, or automatically based on time, date or the current status of your application. This functionality offers many benefits:

Place business logic on the middle-tier server for better performance.
Processing logic is separate from your application for better manageability. You no longer have to re-compile and re-deploy your application to users every time a small change is made. All of your business logic is stored in central location.
Run processes in the background allowing your user to continue working and simply notify them when the process has completed.
"Is it done yet? Is it done yet?" Sound familiar? With the Server component you can show the status of a job or maybe your automated nightly process through your own application, or on a web page, so the user can monitor the job and know when it has completed.
Give your users access to the BlueSky Integration Studio Server royalty-free! With the Server Component there is no need to purchase additional user licenses just to allow your users to run and monitor jobs, you can build it yourself directly into your application.
Give your users the capability to run specific jobs related to your application. For instance, maybe they need to update data on a weekly or monthly basis and then run a job to update your application or other systems. You can simply give them a button they can click to run the job and monitor it themselves.
