Robot, a division of Help/Systems, a leading provider of systems management, security, and business intelligence solutions, today announced ease-of-use and security enhancements to their robust job scheduling solution set. Using Robot/SCHEDULE Enterprise, organizations looking to schedule jobs across platforms can extend the power of Robot/SCHEDULE across their entire enterprise while managing different servers centrally from their IBM i.
"IBM's built-in schedulers only address iSeries jobs," says Tom Huntington, vice president of technical services, Help/Systems. "Most customers, however, have business processes with touch points on the rest of the enterprise, including their UNIX, Linux, and Windows applications. With Robot/SCHEDULE Enterprise, customers can improve scheduling for their entire infrastructure, not just IBM i. The Robot solution extends the power and reliability of IBM Power Servers running IBM i to other virtual partitions or individual servers, making their data center a reliable solution for business process automation."
By automating and centralizing agent management and security, Robot/SCHEDULE Enterprise v1.27 reduces the amount of day-to-day maintenance involved in cross-platform job scheduling. Jobs that are built in Robot/SCHEDULE Enterprise can now run under the user account that the agent service or daemon uses. Existing customers will need to upgrade their application in order to benefit from this latest enhancement. Refer to the January 2014 issue of Robot/NEWS Flash for details.
Help/Systems offers a free, 30-day trial of Robot/SCHEDULE Enterprise. The trial includes full product access and free support.
