Tracks Usage
Let Robot/CPA tell you who signed on to your system and what they’ve been doing. Robot/CPA provides statistics about who signed on, the jobs they ran, and the reports they printed.
Reduces Waste
Users often waste computing resources. To reduce your waste, use Robot/CPA to translate computer use into money on a billing statement:
Change users’ printing habits by charging for each type of form used.
Establish surcharges and discounts based on the time of day or the subsystem.
Motivate users to conserve disk space by using Robot/SPACE to charge for disk storage.
Helps Predict Future Needs
Robot/CPA’s powerful query system helps you predict computer use weeks ahead based on growth statistics. You can predict CPU use, paper use, disk activity, number of transactions, and average response time. Use this information to balance the load between your partitions in an LPAR system, justify system upgrades, project disk storage use, or to estimate the impact of a new application. You can display the information, graph it, or print it in a report.
Track And Charge Back For System Usage and Automate Resource Accounting
Robot/CPA collects system usage statistics by account code, such as the amount of CPU time used, to help you monitor and manage system resources. Robot/CPA interfaces with Robot/SCHEDULE, the job scheduler and batch management system, to collect and summarize device, job, and printing statistics, run billing and closing procedures, and purge old information—automatically. You can bill your users accurately and automatically for their actual resource usage and maximize your system efficiency.
Control Disk Space Usage, Avoid Storage Issues, Automate Disk Management
Robot/CPA works with Robot/SPACE, the disk space management system, so you can track and charge for System i disk space usage. At billing time, Robot/SPACE tells Robot/CPA, by account code, the amount of disk drive space used during the billing period. You charge users or departments for the amount for the disk space they’ve used, easily and automatically. And, Robot/SPACE highlights fast-growing disk objects and predicts disk usage ahead of time, to help you prevent critical storage conditions from occurring.
