Re: AS400 / Operations Automation

["Steven Easton" <seaston@xxxxxxxxx>]

We recently automated our nightly jobs.  We used mesenger plus for the
Pager.  It uses windows so it is a little slow.  We put all the jobs that
run every night into 1 job.  This job was put on the schedule to start at
6:00pm via WRKJOBSCDE.  It runs billing, and backup, then releases the
night queue.  A priority 9 job is put on the Night queue to hold the Queue
after all jobs have finished.  Queries and other jobs put on the night
queue during the day will not run untill after backup is complete.  We use
AMCVTDAT to see if it is friday or the last working day of the month, and
run additional steps.  AMCVTDAT is free from news 3x download page or I
will Email it to you.
