Perhaps the product has changed, but I don't remember any support in ZEKE itself for that sort of thing. ZEKE was designed just to schedule jobs and track their successful or unsuccessful completion. If you wanted to control reruns of failed jobs you also needed ZEBB. If you needed automated responses to console messages, you used to needf ZACK (Automated Systems and Event Management) or some other product that was designed specifically to support console automation.
I saw some reference in ZEKE on-line manuals to "ZACK (or the ZEKE Automation Option)" and some references to ZEKE being able to support "simple" console automation with the ZEKE Automation Option, but the on-line manuals don't seem to make any attempt to explain what exactly the ZEKE Automation Option is, whether it's a separate chargeable component of ZEKE, a stripped down version of ZACK, or possibly even ZACK itself. It would appear these questions would best be addressed to the vendor currently supporting ZEKE. -- Joel C.
