Automated Job Scheduling Software: System i & Enterprise

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.
