Automate Schedule

Description

Automate Schedule is a robust solution that allows scheduling and execution of automated processes across multiple systems and applications. The Automate Schedule software installs on a Windows, AIX, or Linux server with a self-contained HTTP server and database. To manage Automate Schedule, agents can be installed on each Windows, UNIX, or Linux server. Once everything is connected, you simply use your Web browser to view and manage your entire job schedule. Automate Schedule enables execution of custom CRON jobs or Windows BAT files as part of an enterprise business processes. This allows your scripts to run as part of an event-driven schedule across all of your platforms, so you don’t have to worry about relying on timed jobs in your schedule.

The Automate Schedule action enables additional automation capabilities with Automate Schedule. Automate Schedule's integration with Automate Desktop will allow users to create server objects (in Automate Schedule) that represent an Automate Desktop installation and have the ability to build jobs that execute a task/workflow on a selected Automate Desktop and Automate servers. Automate Schedule is aware of Automate servers, and can run tasks or workflows on those servers, wait until the task is complete before moving on to the next command in the Automate Schedule job, capture the return code of the task or workflow and capture the command line output and add it to the job log. For example, the image diagram below show's Automate Schedule's ability to talk to its agents - one Automate Schedule agent has Automate Desktop or Automate installed locally and also talks to a remote server that has Automate Desktop installed. Another Automate Schedule agent talks with an Automate server to initiate processes on Automate agents.
