iSeries (AS/400) - Automation Services - Automation Automation can bring huge benefits in cost savings, increased availability and reliability. It is possible to automate virtually every aspect of system operations from unattended full system saves to the automatic answering and paging of system messages. The schedulers available today are not only time dependant, but conditional too and can operate across multiple iSeries systems. However, automating an iSeries is no simple task and there are several complex stages to complete before you can even begin to automate your system. The first two goals to achieve are firstly, a stable environment. Without a stable environment automation will fail. One of the strengths of automation is that it does the same thing at the same time until it is prevented from doing so. If the environment around it changes this strength can become its weakness. The second goal is, understanding your systems. Every job, task and process needs to be completely understood and documented. The success of your automation project will depend on how well these two tasks are completed. On completion of the first two tasks, automation begins. Depending on the degree of automation you require, you can achieve anything from the system being manually monitored for job failures all the way through to a lights out operation where the system automatically notifies you of any problems encountered.
