Robot Console is a fully automated, customizable tool that sends you only the IBM i messages you need to see. This makes your monitoring more effective—you won’t miss crucial information—and more efficient.
Let’s face it; system administration remains a largely thankless task. From scheduling jobs to balancing workloads to answering messages in QSYSOPR, administrators and operators work diligently behind the scenes to ensure that IBM i servers are available to run mission-critical applications.
Many devices send status updates using SNMP or simple network management protocol. Make sure you’re getting the message. Read on to see how Robot supports SNMP.
When was the last time you reviewed your Robot Console message automation? If you’re out of practice, let’s take a look at what you can do to maximize your message automation and reports.
If you have no disaster recovery plan, have never tested a recovery, or are thinking it could never happen to your organization, you could be in for some scary consequences.
Boom. Disaster strikes. Now, it’s up to you to find the tape volume that contains the lost data and restore it quickly to the correct location. Luckily, recovering your IBM i data is easy with Robot Save.
Disaster recovery requirements are part of the geographic and industry regulations that affect our organizations. Having the right solutions in place can help to avoid penalties and make audits go smoothly. Read on to create a complete compliance toolkit.
As more applications on IBM i become Java- or web-based, they’re less likely to send their important messages to a message queue. But don’t worry—Robot Console has that covered.
The operations team was excited to share how Robot job scheduling and monitoring software has helped them manage their processing needs across platforms from their IBM i.
Tape-only backups are not secure. Think about it. Your organization allows third-parties to take tapes off-site for storage. Once the tapes are off-site, they’re out of your control. But there is good news.
As data storage needs increase, SAN technology delivers greater flexibility. Chris Bremer, Chief Technology Officer at DSI, leads this 30-minute recorded session on what SAN is and how it works.
Learn best practices for message management on your IBM i, plus techniques for monitoring, tips for filtering, and tools for escalating and notifying team members of the most critical messages in a hurry.
Watch this webinar where IBM i expert Chuck Stupca explains how FlashCopy works and discusses the ways that it helps you build a better backup strategy for your IBM i environment.
