Restricted Tasks Manager

Reasons to buy

Schedule restricted state tasks to be performed automatically on a weekly, monthly or ad hoc basis.

Submit restricted state tasks to a job queue so that they can become active as soon as other jobs, such as End-of-Day, have completed. This is very useful when there are tight time-windows and the Server is required to be up and running as quickly as possible.

Reduces the risk of disaster by encouraging more regular system backups without expensive overtime costs.

User-definable Tasks feature allows you to define any number of restricted state tasks, as well as other commands such as INZTAP etc. to be processed sequentially when the system is in a restricted state.

Unforeseen Problems? No problem! System inquiry messages can be given an automatic reply so that processing can continue. Alternatively, messages can be sent directly to your pager or phone, while the system remains in a restricted state awaiting your response.

Visits to remote sites where there are no operations personnel will be a thing of the past since restricted state tasks can be managed automatically.

Flexible design approach means that you can quickly and easily tailor any command parameter to suit your own environment. So even if you use proprietary tape backup software that uses its own backup commands, you should have no problems at all in interfacing to the Restricted Tasks Manager.

Used in conjunction with the Enterprise Console, multiple System i™ (iSeries™, AS/400™) can be controlled and monitored when in restricted state and you can be alerted instantly of any problems.
