ASG Workload Scheduler (formerly Beta42, formerly from Pecan) has "agents" for Windows and *nix and z/OS; I would assume their Zeke schedule would have those capabilities too. The shop I retired from used the z/OS agents to coordinate scheduling of data gathering for MXG and chargeback so the 'Admin LPAR' would kick off the MXG and chargeback jobs only after the jobs on each LPAR that created the daily SMF datasets had run. Also tested using the Windows agent to kick off executing commands on a Windows server and that worked but was never implemented in production. If I recall the source was not shipped for the agents so probably the *nix one was compiled for x86 as well as the Windows one, but never needed to test that .
Our schedulers like Beta42 better than Zeke when they tested it and found CA-7 too complex, but our schedulers were mostly upgraded data entry folks, they were extremely focused on 'easy to understand' and not so much on 'great features'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
