Ensure smooth, error-free operations by putting your iSeries in Robot/SCHEDULE's hands. You enter your job schedule, and Robot/SCHEDULE keeps your system running smoothly, reliably, without errors.

Robot/SCHEDULE mimics the actions of an operator. It runs jobs according to a time schedule, in reaction to other events on the system, or after checking on the completion of prerequisite jobs. In any scenario, Robot/SCHEDULE runs jobs as directed, without errors.

Give schedules the human touch
Robot/SCHEDULE lets your computer operators enjoy their jobs. They do the planning and scheduling; Robot/SCHEDULE carries out those plans and schedules. They consider what needs to be done for each event; Robot/SCHEDULE is always alert, always there to react to events.

Robot/SCHEDULE calls for help when something really out of the ordinary happens. You still make the judgment calls. Robot/SCHEDULE frees you to work to your capacity.

Over 10,000 sites!
Over 9,000 iSeries customers are running Robot/SCHEDULE right now. Their systems require very little operator assistance because Robot/SCHEDULE is there.

The benefits of Robot/SCHEDULE's reliability and consistency are even more evident in a network. Log in to remote sites and operate Robot/ SCHEDULE long distance. Let an event on one system trigger jobs throughout the network. Produce a report on one system; print copies on another. Network growth can mean growing problems and growing costs; with Robot/SCHEDULE, it means no problems and reduced costs.

Flexible scheduling plus
Robot/SCHEDULE can run jobs on specific dates, specific intervals (minutes or days), or according to calendars tailored for your operations, showing your working days, holidays, and fiscal month-end dates.

No schedule is too complex. If you don't know exactly when a job should run, Robot/SCHEDULE can run the job when all its prerequisites are met. Run a clean-up job if a job ends unsuccessfully. Run a sequence of jobs, each starting the next. Run a job from a menu entry or in response to another job. Or, run the job only when one of several sets of events happens.

Handles exceptions smoothly
Most schedules have eccentricities. Maybe you have a job that should run every third workday except on three specific dates. Robot/SCHEDULE lets you set up special schedule exceptions that override the regular schedule.

Robot/SCHEDULE can group jobs into a procedure. Run them as a group, hold the group, or restart the procedure at any job.

In addition, you can use OPerator Assistance Language (OPAL), our powerful fourth-generation operations language, to create advanced scheduling options, check job prerequisites, and monitor events. With OPAL, Robot/SCHEDULE is the most powerful scheduler in existence, on any computer, at any price.

Get the big picture
A new feature allows you to export your job schedule data into Microsoft Visio format to see a detailed graphical representation of your job schedule. Robot/SCHEDULE allows you to visually identify the relationships between jobs, giving you a fast and easy way to verify the need for modifications to your job schedule.

So smart it can learn
Turn on the Learn feature and Robot/SCHEDULE watches as you submit jobs. It enters the jobs in its schedule and runs them exactly as you would.

Audit job setup changes
Another new feature allows you to audit job setup changes. When jobs don't run or run outside their scheduled time, it is most likely the result of someone modifying the job setup or using an override code. Robot/SCHEDULE allows you to easily identify who changed the job setup or when an override code was used.

Add Robot/CLIENT for client scheduling
Robot/SCHEDULE's seamless interface to Robot/CLIENT makes it the most powerful client scheduler on the market. Create a job to schedule tasks on your PC or Unix workstations. Client tasks can be prerequisites to iSeries jobs or tasks on other clients.

Automate Domino, too
Robot/SCHEDULE includes Domino commands that allow you to manage your Domino servers and maintain your Domino databases from your iSeries. You get the 'always running' reliability of the iSeries while managing your systems from one workstation.

Enjoy a fully functional GUI
Robot/SCHEDULE offers you a choice between the traditional "green screen" and a fully functional GUI. Now, you can do all your job scheduling directly from your PC with just a few clicks of your mouse. You'll find all of Robot/SCHEDULE's powerful features in an easy-to-use interface.  Click here for further information today.
