KK Krishnamoorthi K. IMS Database Administrator Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 1/20/2021 "Simple and User friendly Interface" 4.5/5 What do you like best about CA 7 Workload Automation Intelligence? Being a person who spend a lot of time in CA7 for batch monitoring and fixes, I see the simple and user friendly interface as the foremost. Repetitive Commands can be saved to function keys for day to day usage which makes life a lot easier. Job CLASS option gives the flexibility to open or close specific classes during day and night. This can also be used to limit the maximum number of jobs that can be run at a time. This is being very helpful in our estate to hold the high MIPS consuming jobs during peak hours and allow to run when the system is normal or at less load. The functionality of the batch jobs can also be controlled using JI cards with multiple Schedule IDs. This will allow the same batch job to perform different functionalities when executed using different schedule IDs. This comes handy especially when different operations are carried out for daily/weekly/monthly runs and avoids complex application logic. Job look back for completion of predecessor job can be controlled for a specific duration(say 3hrs or 5hrs) using lead time option. Forward and reverse structure options gives the entire batch flow of downstream and upstream respectively and this is of great help when comes to batch impact analysis List of jobs using/creating a specific dataset can be pulled using LDSN command. This saves time with impact analysis for the file changes. Last run day/time and total number of run of a specific job is saved within and this is helpful for to extract the stats for a specific job. Calendar view of the job schedule is very helpful to visualize. LRLOG option gives the job run/restart history. This is very helpful for tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CA 7 Workload Automation Intelligence? Although the overall experience of CA7 is very good. I would love to have the below improvements. Forward and reverse structures does list only the triggered jobs. It would be much helpful for impact analysis if successors or included as well. The job requirement posting will not happen automatically when there are more than one instances of a job is waiting in queue. This needs manual intervention to post the requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CA 7 Workload Automation Intelligence: I would definitely recommend CA7 over other schedulers especially if your application needs to spend significant amount of time in monitoring and fixes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CA 7 Workload Automation Intelligence solving and how is that benefiting you? I do support the overnight batches running on CA7 which has over 9K+ jobs overall. Being an active user, I have saved the standard commands that are needed for my day to day activities to the function keys and it makes my life a lot easier and saves a lot of time, when it comes to monitoring the daily batch schedules and fixing issues.
