Spring Batch Admin Manager implementation is not updated since January 2015.
Is there something else that have to be used instead?
Or should I still use Spring Batch Admin Manager to provide some generic UI for Spring Batch application?
Assuming you mean the Spring Batch Admin v1.3.1 release then:
Is there something else? Yes, if your spring batch application is a spring boot variant have a look at https://github.com/codecentric/spring-boot-admin and how to configure it checkout http://codecentric.github.io/spring-boot-admin/1.4.1/#getting-started and https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2014/09/spring-boot-admin-first-official-release/
The Spring Batch Admin Git Repository claim
NOTE: This project is being moved to the Spring Attic and is not recommended for new projects. Spring Cloud Data Flow is the recommended replacement for managing and monitoring Spring Batch jobs going forward. You can read more about migrating to Spring Cloud Data Flow here.

we would like our Spring batch to upgrade from version 2.1.x to latest 4.2.x. Initial assessment suggests Spring batch admin manager has been deprecated and replaced by spring cloud data flow. Our organization is not looking for any Spring cloud solutions as heavily invested in other cloud solutions. I am interested to understand on
What is the alternate solution of spring admin manager
High level upgradation steps
Thanks in advance for your assistance in this regard.

Currently, I have spring batch jobs developed in spring-batch 2.1
as there are so many jobs and they are running fine for a long time - so upgrading to the latest version will take some time.
Till then I want to set up spring batch admin portal have not found any firm solution so far
posting it for information
decided to go further with spring cloud data flow -
we needed minimal changes in our existing spring batch jobs - so this is what we did
Spring batch upgrade - to - Spring batch 3.0.1
and then use - spring-boot-starter-batch 1.1.4
This helped us to build a batch admin tool - with spring cloud data flow with the spring batch jobs.
We referred this blog from the Baeldung
BATCH_Processing_with_SPRING_CLOUD_DATA_FLOW
I integrate spring batch into a restful controller of a spring boot, which means now we operate spring batch program by send a restful call. In this case, we cannot make a jar and register the jar on spring data flow server. So my question is that how to register a task if we don't have jar
You've asked a few similar questions today.
My recommendation is that you could consider referring to the ref. guide of Spring Cloud Task and Spring Cloud Data Flow. Specifically, pay attention to the Spring Batch section.
Once you have the understanding as to what to do, you can build a batch-job as a Spring Cloud Task application, and run it standalone successfully.
If it runs locally as expected, you can switch to SCDF and register the JAR using the REST-API, Shell, or in the GUI. You'd need a physical uber-jar of the application for it. With that registered, you can then build a Task definition with it, and launch it from SCDF.
If you want to do all of the above programmatically, please have a look at the acceptance-test suite for examples.
Based on what parameters can we decide on a config server? aws cloud config vs spring cloud config server?
if the application is developed based on Spring framework, which one will be a better option? aws-cloud-config / spring-config?
does both support XML/properties configuration other than YAML?
Can both be configured for High Availability?
Is it possible to define a workflow (for approval of changes that need to be moved to PRODUCTION, using jenkins for example?)
If your application is based on Spring, it makes sense to use Spring Cloud Config as you would be using a specific framework instead of a Generic framework like AWS config
yes, Spring Cloud Config supports both YAML and property files
Ultimately the Spring Cloud Config is a Spring Boot App, hence you can make it high available using the same strategy that we use for any Spring Application
The simplest Approval work flow would be
Configure your Jenkins Job to send mail for approval
Set-up Promotion using https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Promoted+Builds+Plugin
Deploy the Artificats to the specific environment
i want to know is there any way to use spring cloud config client without spring boot in a spring web application.
i want to use spring cloud config with #Value annotation and i don't like to use spring cloud server rest api in my web application
i have tried what developers said in Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot link but it didn't work
Yes it's possible. You will have to add spring boot but don't have to really use it (we had it working in a non-springboot app). Check this code here https://github.com/4finance/micro-infra-spring/tree/master/micro-infra-spring-config . You don't need a config server then to use the properties. I don't have a code snippet for that but you would have to create manually a spring boot context in your just to make this work. Also check this answer - Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot . Even if you will make it work it doesn't mean that the ordering will be proper.
The suggested solution then is to actually use Spring Boot :)
I provided an answer here : Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot that can help you. It's a working prototype to load property sources from Zookeeper using Spring Cloud Config Zookeeper in a webapplication without Spring Boot.
