Re: ROBOT scheduler

We have ROBOT Scheduler and Replay with have about 130 jobs set up and 
running throughout the day and night through this (Backups, incoming EDI 
transactions to Offline COM files, all Monthend closes and reporting, IM 
Transaction register, Refresh Test data base, plus tons of custom 
programs, etc...).

I don't think we could function without it.

I would heartly recommend these products.

For those of you who own ROBOT scheduler and ROBOT replay - would you buy 
it
again? 

We would like to schedule month end jobs - a big custom CL, FIFO Reports,
and IM and COM period closes - instead of submitting them interactively at
midnight. It appears that ROBOT is just the ticket for this, but it might 
be
a hard sell to management at over $10,000.  For the 8 or 9 times a year 
that
month end falls on a weekday, management might just say "set your alarm
clock",  unless I can find other uses of ROBOT besides month end.

We already have MRP scheduled through the job scheduler, so that is 
already
covered.  After some work, we just got the printing of the IM transaction
register (PRTIMTXR) working as a JOBSCDE, so that is covered too.  I would
like to automate the On-Order Quantity Audit, Allocation Quantity Audit 
and
COM  transaction register though.   What other types of jobs do you 
schedule
with ROBOT?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
