One of the most common operations problems is making sure your jobs run on time and in the right order. Having efficient iSeries job scheduler software (AS/400, Power Systems, System i) is both cost-effective and labor-saving. Help/Systems provides an automated operations software solution that can reduce operational crises and make your daily operations run more smoothly.
If you're having problems running your job schedule, take a look at the following situations and see if they sound familiar.
- You can't get anything done because you're in constant "firefighting" mode correcting errors that occurred during nightly batch processing, such as:
- Jobs that someone forgot to run.
- Jobs that were run out of order.
- Jobs that didn't complete so subsequent jobs also failed.
- You are having trouble finding qualified staff to:
- Replace a retiring operator.
- Run the night shift.
- Run a new business application.
- You're discouraged because you can't find a good way to run jobs at the correct time across multiple systems—System i, Windows, UNIX, and Linux—especially jobs that are prerequisites for System i processes.
- You're frustrated that some batch jobs require operators to enter parameters manually before they run. Automating these jobs seems impossible.
- You have auditors looking over your shoulder for details about production control.
- You can't provide adequate monitoring to meet your Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Help/Systems can help restore your sanity. Take a look at Robot/SCHEDULE, our automated iSeries job scheduler software, and its related products for a complete solution to your enterprise job scheduling needs. Robot/SCHEDULE is designed to ensure smooth, error-free operations. You enter your job schedule and Robot/SCHEDULE runs your system reliably—day, night, and on weekends—without errors.
Robot/SCHEDULE can mimic the actions of your best operator. It runs jobs according to a time schedule, in reaction to other events on the System i or other platforms, or after checking on the completion of prerequisite jobs. And, its iSeries job monitors can notify you if jobs don't run or complete as scheduled.
