Dave -

I've installed the Advanced Job Scheduler on my systems. It is a major
enhancement to the built in OS/400 Job Scheduler (WRKJOBSCDE).

The interface to it is very similar to the BRMS product too. Both were
originally written by the same people before IBM took over the support and
future development of the products.

I looked at several job schedulers for our system. The IBM product provided
a rich feature set at a very reasonable price.

One other thing. the IBM Advanced Job Scheduler is the only one with an Ops
Navigator interface. The current Ops Navigator interface is very basic right
now, but I know that IBM is putting a lot of effort into implementing all
the Advanced Job Scheduler features in a future release.

there are a lot of good job schedulers for the AS/400 available. If you are
thinking of getting a job scheduler for your system make sure you ask your
IBM rep for a demo of the Advanced Job Scheduler. I think you will be
surprised at how feature rich it is....

Here is a link to the Advance Job Scheduler manual for V4R2:
