Level 4: Operations Center Suite

Advanced Job Scheduling and management of System Messages, Performance, Disk Space and Spool Files for your IBM i.

Halcyon Operations Center is our flagship software suite and includes the Advanced Job Scheduler, the most comprehensive scheduler of its type. Multiple LPAR and cross-platform capabilities allow you to schedule jobs across IBM i, Windows®, AIX®, UNIX® and Linux® operating systems or any platform that supports a remote executing daemon. Unusual schedule patterns can be incorporated without requiring a calendar by running your own user program within Advanced Job Scheduler. These user programs can also be used to interface to a third party calendar.

Easy-to-use Graphical User Interfaces are provided for quick analysis of your systems’ disk space and performance, alerting users to any issues that may have arisen across your enterprise. This allows non-technical staff to pro-actively monitor system activity and releases more valuable resources for other projects.

View the status of all alerts and systems through the Enterprise Console dashboard.

Designed and developed to appeal to managed services providers & individual data centers, Operations Center Suite is Halcyon’s highest level of automation, system monitoring and management software for the IBM i.
