Automation for IT Operations and Business Processes
IT organizations often operate in environments that cross both distributed and mainframe systems. This makes it difficult to manage and automate the IT operational and business processes that span these various systems.
AS/400 Automation and Scheduling
One method many people turn to is using platform-specific scheduling tools to manage processes such as AS/400 Jobs. The difficulty with platform-specific tools for these processes is that cross-platform or cross-application processes that are dependent on AS/400 become hard to manage, which increases IT complexity and operational costs while reducing staff productivity.
How Can ActiveBatch Workload Automation Help?
ActiveBatch provides AS/400 users with a Workload Automation and Enterprise Job Scheduling solution that enables them to manage cross-platform and cross-application workflows that incorporate AS/400, including dependencies, job constraints, and variables all from a single point of control.
ActiveBatch provides a full range of support for developing and implementing heterogeneous workloads for various platforms, applications, databases, and more—including Windows, Unix, Linux, z/OS, OpenVMS, NSK, and others.
Automating AS/400 Processes
The ActiveBatch AS/400 Execution Agent is a native agent located on the AS/400 machine. Users can leverage ActiveBatch capabilities such as advanced date/time scheduling and event automation to allow AS/400 processes to be executed at the right time, based on events, triggers, or date/time requirements. ActiveBatch provides a centralized location for the monitoring of AS/400 jobs and viewing of log files. And ActiveBatch’s extensive alerting functionality can be used to notify the right users when an issue does arise.
