Advanced Automation Suite

Suite Components | Restricted Tasks Manager

HALCYON Restricted Tasks Manager (RTM) allows you to control when and
how to perform restricted state functions such as SAVSYS, SAVLIB *NONSYS, RCLSTG etc. These commands normally have to be manually typed at the system console, having taken the system down into a restricted state, and therefore requiring an operator to be in attendance.

RTM enables unattended operation by allowing you to schedule these events ahead of time, or initiate them from within your own procedures or even from a job queue.

RTM Task Groups

RTM organizes tasks into Task Groups. A Task Group is a named group that you create. The Task Group contains various settings that control how and when the system is taken down into a restricted state, what notifications are to be issued, and what recovery action is required.

Having created a Task Group, you then add as many tasks to the group as you require. A task consists of the AS/400 command that you want to run plus notification, object history and error recovery options.

When creating a Task Group, you can choose from one of three built in run
methods - Schedule, Submit or Run.
