Integrate servers into your System i procedures

You’ve automated your System i operations using our products and your systems are running unattended, reliably, and at a lower cost. But, your business systems include Windows and Unix servers—and you need a way to coordinate them for maximum performance and availability. It’s time to look at Robot/CLIENT, the operations event management software that sends tasks to your servers, monitors your business-critical applications, receives status information, and much more.

Automate servers and critical applications
The System i is the most reliable business computer available today, so it should be the platform from which you automate your attached clients and servers. Robot/CLIENT can check a server and return a status at specified intervals. And, Robot/CLIENT can run as a service on your Windows and NT systems, so it’s available for tasks, even before a user signs on. A server managed by Robot/CLIENT runs more smoothly and reliably.

Simplify server management
Robot/CLIENT brings job queues to servers and client systems. If a client can’t execute a task immediately, the task is queued and executed in the order received, automatically. You can use Robot/CLIENT to:

• Transfer files between System i and non-System i servers.
• Initiate server tasks from your System i.
• Check the status of a server or a critical service.
• Schedule batch jobs across your entire enterprise.
• Rotate among multiple System i systems and perform scheduled tasks.

Discover System i-based enterprise scheduling
Robot/CLIENT and your System i hold the solution to your enterprise scheduling needs. Robot/CLIENT works with Robot/SCHEDULE to coordinate batch processes, FTP transactions, and monitoring across multiple platforms. The result—easy integration of your server and i5/OS procedures.

Expand your server’s options
Robot/CLIENT lets you and your servers communicate with other Robot products:

• Use Robot/ALERT to send important pager, text, or e-mail messages, including attachments.
• Send messages to a Robot/CONSOLE message center.
• Send server status messages to Robot/NETWORK’s Status Center.
• Use Robot/SCHEDULE to schedule tasks on servers and start reactive jobs.

And that’s not all...
Robot/CLIENT displays and prints statistical information (such as processor type or amount of memory) gathered from server systems. APIs let you reset tasks or get the active task count on a server.
