We offer an easy solution – Operational Processing for UniX.

The recent increases in computer operational costs have led many IT departments to consider re-hosting applications to an open systems environment. A significant challenge to this cost-saving strategy is the corresponding lack of a traditional mainframe production operational environment. In the Unix world, standards and structures for job processing are left to the user, which can be an overwhelming and daunting obstacle. Tetrad Solutions offers an easy answer: Operational Processing for Unix.

This tool provides a framework to allow for the submission, execution and management of jobs in the open systems environment. Specifically, Operational Processing for Unix translates the metadata that defines each job process into real processing on open systems platform. This simplistic approach allows for existing job control language (JCL) job streams to run with little or no modification, thus providing a seamless and streamlined solution to job processing.

Operational Processing for Unix interfaces easily with:

• Multiple Report Distribution Options. Clients can define report distribution destinations and methods. These include reports delivered in pdf format and by email.
• Multiple Job Queues. The user can define and operate multiple execution queues - each queue allows for unique job stream specifications and is controllable from a command interface.
• Job Archival Processing. Operational Processing for Unix includes a formal mechanism for archiving jobs to enable effective output management in the job storage area.
• Web Interface. Through the use of a WEBMIN plug in, Operational Processing for Unix can provide web access to job information, as well as access to many of the other Operational Processing for Unix features including job submission.
• Job Scheduling. This feature provides the ability to execute jobs based upon date and time.
• Extensible with Wrapper Concept. Executes and manages and process, program or utility by use of custom built wrappers. A Wrapper is a script that facilitates the standard interface between the process and external programs.
