Schedule interactive jobs in Robot/SCHEDULE

Capture FTP and TCP/IP operations

Everyone likes Robot/SCHEDULE, the job scheduler, because it runs their reports and closings; because a Robot/SCHEDULE-operated iSeries runs more smoothly, more reliably, and with fewer operational crises; and because it reduces the need for off-shift operators, saving large amounts of money. However, some of you can't enjoy the benefits of Robot/SCHEDULE because you use interactive applications that make you fill out a screen before submitting a batch job.

Automate the unautomatable
Robot/REPLAY, the plug-in for Robot/SCHEDULE, automates the interactive processes you use to submit a batch job. Simply start Robot/ REPLAY and submit your job. As you work, Robot/REPLAY "learns" the screen images you see and the information you enter into those screens, and stores the images and information in a Robot/REPLAY object. When Robot/SCHEDULE executes your Replay object, a special Robot/REPLAY session starts. Robot/REPLAY calls your initial program and mimics, keystroke for keystroke, what you did to run the application.

No device conflicts
With Robot/REPLAY you can specify the type of device the object should use. Replay objects run smoothly because there are no conflicts between the object and the device.

Track and record your Replay objects
Robot/REPLAY comes with powerful print and job features. You can print your object images to create a hardcopy record, follow an object's job trail and display the job logs, and use Robot/REPLAY's Object Information panel for detailed job information. And, you can copy and edit a Replay object.

Transport files quickly
Robot/REPLAY supports TCP/IP and FTP, so you can teach Robot/REPLAY to use FTP to send a file to another iSeries system, a UNIX workstation, a PC, or a Web site, automatically.

Update information automatically
Robot/REPLAY can automate an interactive program even if screen values--such as date ranges--have to be changed every time you run the application. Robot/REPLAY supports Robot/ SCHEDULE reserved command variables, system-wide values used throughout our product line. You can use them to communicate changing information to Robot/REPLAY and our other products.

Hassle-free iSeries operation
Robot/SCHEDULE and Robot/REPLAY let interactive and batch jobs react to one another to create a closing procedure, or a nightly run, that runs unattended--on different iSeries systems, on time, and in the proper order. Before you needed an operator; now, you just need Robot/ REPLAY, Robot/SCHEDULE, and a little imagination. Call for your FREE Robot/REPLAY Information Kit at 1-800-328-1000.
