Dave,

We use Robot ourselves for our MAPICS nightly processing.  We also use the
AS/400 Job Scheduler for most of our non-MAPICS jobs.  However, we do also
use (for some specific apps) timed macros on a Windows-based PC running
Client Access.  We record macros to log on and run specific jobs and have
them timed for a specific time-of-day kick off.  In effect, it does about
90% of what Robot does, and I got it free off the web.  I have no idea if
you can still get it free - I got this YEARS ago.  You have to make
CERTAIN no messages go to that PC, it literally just runs keystroke files.
 You may be able to do this with Client Access also - but I don't know if
CA/400 has a timing option.

I agree, it would be nice if MAPICS had a way to run reports in batch
without the screens - gave us all the specs on how to load the LDA, create
temp files with parms, and all the other stuff to run the jobs.

I checked with Help Systems and it sounds like their Scheduler/Replay is
perfect for this.  Just one small problem - our cost would be around
$10,000
for the 2.  Kinda pricey for just automating these 4 steps.  Is anyone
aware
of anything else that might do this for a little less money?

Dave

I guess that HELP/SYSTEMS INC ROBOT Scheduler / Replay will help you.
