System Automator Specifications

What makes the product different from the rest of its kind?

It closely knits all the integrated automation processes together to enable a controlled and manageable operational environment. With Procedure Manager you can quickly and easily define the various steps and dependencies of a production job. CL programs and complicated error checking and branching are a thing of the past, and so is the tedious maintenance of these CL’s! Instead, the powerful interface of Procedure Manager lets you build, maintain and document the most complicated job stream in a fraction of the time. To make your job even easier, ASIST/System Automator wraps the complexities of OS/400, i5/OS and IBM i API’s, commands and error handling into a library of extremely easy to use macros, to perform tasks such as backups, housekeeping, job dependency checking, and many more.
