January 2010 Q&A

Is the RBTSPCLIB library the only library Robot/SPACE uses to store the results Storage Audits or Collections?
Yes, this is the library that Robot/SPACE uses to store data from the Collections and Storage Audits.

Can Robot/SCHEDULE help me visualize how my jobs relate?
Robot/SCHEDULE allows you to select all your job schedule (or a portion) and display it in a graphical blueprint that identifies the relationships between jobs, including reactivity and group membership.

Using blueprints, you can discover gaps in your schedule where jobs can be added; find inefficiencies in your job schedule quickly; and see the effect of schedule changes before you apply them. You can print blueprints for a visual overview, or use them to train your operators.

How do I tell Robot/SPACE to send Storage Audit reports to a specific output queue?
You can change the job description used by the Storage Audit job, SPCAUDJOBD in library RBTSPCLIB, to use a specific output queue.

Is there a way I can monitor my entire network’s job schedule from a single display?
The Robot/SCHEDULE 10 Schedule Activity Monitor (SAM) tabs show all of your jobs: forecasted; running and waiting; and completed and failed. SAM allows you to monitor all of a systems’s jobs at a glance.

If you open SAM on every system that’s running Robot/SCHEDULE, you can monitor all your jobs, on all your systems, right from your PC.
