Features
Leading-edge scheduling functions include:
• Automation
• Batch Job Stream Management
• Forward Planning and Production Forecasting
• Full Calendaring of Operations
• Dependency Scheduling
Overall this allows any batch-capable function to be scheduled on a single iSeries server or
across a network, allowing complete user control of how, when, and where a job is submitted.
Job Scheduler also offers the following functions:
• A full integration with Operations Navigator and specifically the Management Central
functions that are part of Operations Navigator. The user interface provides a full
graphical user interface and inter-operates with users choosing to continue to use the
existing interfaces. The graphical interface provides:
– An easy-to-use way to define and control batch job operations based on successor or
predecessor jobs
– A full set of multiple calendars
– Systems and resource conditions
• Management Central adds a number of capabilities that can be scheduled using the
Advanced Job Scheduler. These include cross-system group functions such as:
– PTF distribution and management
– Hardware, software, and PTF inventory collections
– Distribution of objects and files
– Schedule remote operations
Once installed, the user interface is seamless between Management Central and the
Advanced Job Scheduler.
Easily manage your job automation across multiple systems running the Advanced Job
Scheduler. For example, with the Advanced Job Scheduler on multiple systems, you can
condition jobs on one system to only start when a job on another system is successful or
