Managing the batch workload of your IBM i systems can often present challenges, especially if your organization relies on legacy scripts that existing support staff are unfamiliar with and find difficult to change.
AUTOMON® Scheduler is an advanced job scheduling solution that lets you handle greater workloads, without employing additional staff. System throughput is increased through improved management and control of job dependencies, system resources, and error recovery situations.
Through the prioritization of critical work, AUTOMON® Scheduler improves your batch performance, and in the process, releases system operators from routine tasks so they can devote more time to value-added business activities.
