Advanced Job Scheduler

Job Scheduling Software for IBM i (as/400, iSeries) servers

Halcyon Advanced Job Scheduler enables organizations to schedule highly complex job streams and track these across different IBM i systems or across other servers to ensure that business processes are running smoothly, at the optimum time and at maximum efficiency.

Job Scheduler Features

Import jobs from other schedulers, using the specialist migration utility and consolidate all your scheduling requirements
A command list can be used to check appropriate conditions exist before jobs are processed
Schedule inter-dependent jobs across your entire IT infrastructure, regardless of operating system
Incorporate your own user programs to run unusual schedule patterns and interface to third party calenders
Job progress, status and error messages can be sent to mobile phones, message queues, as emails or directly to the GUI Enterprise Console
"Capture Mode" can capture Submit Job Parameters for later insertion into Advanced Job Scheduler job definitions so that you create jobs 'on-the-fly'
Supports the use of multiple calendars, either directly, as scheduled data, or to set exceptions to regular pattern schedules

Job Scheduler Benefits

Reduce the operator's workload by automating representative tasks to free up valuable resource time
Make more effective use of system resources - jobs can be scheduled to run at the best time for your system, your operators and your users
Reduce your operational costs by letting the Advanced Job Scheduler handle all your out-of-hours processing without having to pay expensive overtime costs
Infrequently run jobs, such as those included in year-end processing, can be programmed to become part of the routine and do not become overlooked
Important decisions that may affect the entire system can be pre-programmed by experienced staff so that junior or trainee operators don't have to make those decisions
Extend automation further by scheduling tasks across different LPARs or networked servers and taking full advantage of the in-built cross-system dependencies
