However, since the idea of "freebies" came up, for those of you with DB2 for z/OS I'd like to mention a handy scheduler that's included with DB2 for z/OS at no additional charge: the DB2 Administrative Task Scheduler. As its name suggests, it's a scheduler focused on scheduling DB2 administrative tasks -- no surprise. If your needs non-trivially exceed that scope I'd investigate other, fuller function options (Tivoli Workload Scheduler notably), but it is a very useful DB2 feature. Relatedly, there's another, no additional charge component, the Management Console for IMS and DB2 for z/OS, that you are likely to find useful in part to take advantage the DB2 Administrative Task Scheduler. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
