Advancing Beyond The Native IBM i Scheduler
The Business Case for Third-Party IBM i Job Schedulers
After decades of faithful service, the benefits of the Native
Scheduler for the IBM i have passed their prime. In most instances, users of the native scheduler are missing out on key features, such as:
Job, Run-time, and Date Scheduling
✔ Job dependency (Native does not have this feature)
✔ History (Cannot retrieve history easily)
✔ Run days (Native does not show future run days)
✔ Steps (Native only allows one step)
Auditing & Reporting
✔ Native does not show on a screen history of a job
✔ Native does not have a report detailing jobs ran during a selected time frame
✔ Native does not show when the last change was made
