Help/Systems, developer of the Robot Automated Operations Solution for the System i, has announced an enhancement to Robot/SCHEDULE 10, the automatic computer operator, job scheduling, and batch management software. Robot/SCHEDULE interfaces directly with the Robot/NETWORK 10 graphical user interface to allow users to manage the job schedules on any system in their network, receive statuses from other systems, and provide cross-system reaction.
Users define their network host systems and their nodes during Robot/ NETWORK setup. When a Robot/SCHEDULE user connects to the host system, the Robot/SCHEDULE Explorer tree displays the host and its nodes. The Robot/SCHEDULE Product Master on the host system allows users to define jobs once and then distribute them and their associated objects to the node systems or other hosts. A new Send To Wizard feature walks the user through the send process, making it easy to distribute jobs, schedule objects, and set up instructions to multiple systems. The ability to manage jobs from the Product Master helps users standardize and control their network job schedule.
Users can access the node systems from the Explorer, allowing them to work on the systems as if they had connected to them directly. Menus and toolbars provide fast access to network control options for the host system, the Product Master, or the nodes.
Robot/SCHEDULEÆs consolidated reporting option allows users to consolidate selected data from multiple nodes into a single report. Users can use the consolidated reports for comparisons of job processing, cross-system reactivity, and security events from multiple systems in the network.
