Job Scheduler

Reasons to buy

Reduce the Operator’s workload by automating repetitive tasks to free up valuable resource time.

Reduce the risk of human error -it is all too easy to submit incorrect jobs, jobs with the wrong parameters or run jobs at the wrong time. Now you can rely on the Job Scheduler to run your jobs at the correct time without error.

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 operations costs by letting the Job Scheduler handle all your out-of-hours processing without having to pay expensive overtime costs.

Important decisions that may affect the entire system, such as “can I run Job B now, even though Job A has failed” can be pre-programmed by experienced staff so that junior or trainee operators don’t have to make those types of decisions.

Infrequently run jobs, such as those included in year-end processing, can be programmed to become part of the routine and so do not get overlooked.

Extend automation further - by scheduling tasks across different LPARs or networked systems and taking full advantage of the in-built cross-system dependencies.

No scheduling task is too difficult for the Halcyon Job Scheduler with its extensive use of user hooks. If a job requires more logic than the standard function allows, you can call your own user program at any stage.

Unlike its human counterpart, the Halcyon Job Scheduler never has a day off sick or takes a holiday. It will be your most loyal employee!
