Halcyon Software has announced the launch of Job Scheduler v3.0, the latest version of a systems management application for the System i that is designed to enable even less experienced system operators to create and run advanced scheduling patterns tailored to a company's specific operations.
Functionally rich yet very easy to use, Job Scheduler incorporates some important features not found in other schedulers. Advanced scheduling patterns are possible by using the standard calendar features, third-party calendars, or by a user program using the Halcyon Job Scheduler's unique and intuitive calendar parameters.
Job Scheduler is able to reduce the system operator's workload by automating repetitive tasks; freeing up valuable resource time and in the process minimizing the risk of human error. Furthermore, Job Scheduler can make more effective use of system resources by running jobs at the best time for your system, your operators and your users. Job Scheduler can also reduce operating costs by automating all out-of-hours processing.
Version 3.0 offers users significant improvements over the previous module including the ability to convert IBM standard Job Scheduler entries into Halcyon Groups and Jobs using a simple command. This will simplify and enable speedy implementation and contribute towards achieving return on investment, the company says. This feature has been specifically designed for those companies who have used the standard IBM job scheduler, but now require a more customizable tool to suit their business operations. Multiple environments are supported, ideal for Outsourcing Environments or Business Units who need the ability to restrict access to particular Job Schedules to specific users or customers. Support for user definable template environments has been added meaning that operators can retain specific settings and significantly reduce setup time when adding or amending jobs.
Price and availability
Job Scheduler v3.0 is available immediately, either on its own or as part of the Halcyon Operations Center, and pricing is tiered based on the IBM processor group and starts from approximately $7500 for a single copy of the Job Scheduler v3.0 module.
