Do I have to convert all of my Nodes to Robot/NETWORK 10 when I convert the Host?
No, Robot/NETWORK 10 supports limited functions to back-level Nodes. Nodes must be at Robot/NETWORK Node 9.62 to be supported.

The following functions are supported:

• Robot/SCHEDULE jobs you have set up with cross-system reactivity will continue to work. However, you cannot set up new cross-system reactive jobs. Event statuses continue to be sent to the Host.
• Robot/CONSOLE messages with cross-system redirection will continue to work, but you cannot set up new ones. Messages still will be redirected to the Robot/NETWORK Status Center and replies will be posted on both the Host and the Node.
• Robot/REPORTS event statuses will be posted to the Robot/NETWORK Status Center.

The following functions are not supported:

• Packets for Robot/SCHEDULE, Robot/CONSOLE, and Robot/REPORTS.
• The RBNSNDRBT, RBNSNDRBC, and RBNSNDREP commands.
• New Robot/NETWORK 10 Graphical User Interface (GUI) options, such as server options, are not supported in relation to a Robot/NETWORK 9 Node.
• Robot/SCHEDULE 10 is not supported on a Robot/NETWORK 9 Node.

I am looking for a program to add to my System i shutdown program that will end Robot/SCHEDULE gracefully.
We recommend using the RSLSHUTDWN command. It ends all installed Robot products automatically and then ends the RBTSLEEPER subsystem.
