The IBM Advanced Job Scheduler for i5/ OS(AJS)product is a full-function scheduler that can automate your business with the submission and monitoring of all your iSeries jobs. For scheduling that goes beyond the capabilities of the basic i5/ OS or OS/ 400 scheduler, a look at AJS is well worth the effort. It provides extreme function and flexibility especially in the area of high availability because of its ability to maintain multiple scheduling environments. With additional features such as
report distribution using e-mail attachments, user interfaces (GUI, CL command, Wireless, traditional 5250 menus), and job dependencies, you can see why AJS is IBM's other best-kept secret.

This session will explore the new V5R4 enhancements, including the Work Flow manager -- where complex manual and automatic processes are integrated into single easily managed AJS object. It will also explain concepts and provide
'how to' examples for many of the functions in the Advanced Job Scheduler. These include basic and complex calendar scheduling, job groups, dependency scheduling, holiday calendars, high availability, notifications, report distributions, job history, scheduler logs, parameter passing, and migrating
i5/ OS or OS/ 400 scheduled jobs to the Advanced Job Scheduler.
