Re: Advanced Job Scheduler

We've incorporated the use of Google Calendar as our "Job Scheduler". We
just set the item in the calendar using one of many interfaces, and then
specify either the command to run or keywords that initiate a command or
program to be run.

We use or Google Calendar Addon for our G4G software to download items
daily and set them up to run. How we use it really very simplistic
compared to how involved it could be.

Let's face it, the most important part of job scheduling is the calendar,
and Google's is pretty nice and available through a HOST of different UIs.

We've been using AJS heavily, both Production LPAR and R&D LPAR for last
10 years.
Love the product, wish it could do more at times.
Very few enhancements, if any, over last 10 years.

Did you know:

1) IBM did not develop AJS, but Pinnacle Business System.
(C) COPYRIGHT PINNACLE BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC. 2009.

2) Except for simple Q&A, IBM outsources the support for AJS.

3) The most recent manual for AJS is V5R3.

4) Additional info can be obtained from:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/i/jscheduler/faq/index.html
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/i/jscheduler/resources.html

There is not a single source for all the AJS documentation.

5) Green screen AJS has limited functionality.
Some features (MONMSG for one) only available via OpsNav and/or iNav.

Just an opinion, but my gut feel is that "business partners" tend to be
bottlenecks in the sales process when it comes to IBM products. That both
IBM and business partners stifle the adoption of IBM i and add-ons in the
market place due to a lack of accessibility to consumers.

I think that both IBM and consumers would be better off if IBM were to
provide web store-fronts and web services back-ends which business partners
could tie into.

Business partner would become ISVs and cloud hosting providers which used
IBM hardware and software for foundation purposes. Consumers would have
better access to their respective products and services.

I believe this platform needs an amazon.com type interface for ordering
hardware and software.
