The elements of security that exist are significant, but they are nontrivial to implement, particularly across operating systems and with third-party applications.

Isn’t it time your job scheduling environment (and your IBM i) got the modern look it deserves? Give Schedule Activity Monitor a try for graphically monitoring your jobs on the go.

If you’re using EnterpriseOne or SAP, it may be to take a closer look at the security and business process automation that Robot Schedule can offer these key applications on IBM i. We don’t talk enough about the integration we’ve done between Robot Schedule and EnterpriseOne (formerly JD Edwards, now owned by Oracle) and SAP.
