Welcome to Robot HA

Software Configuration, Implementation, and Training Checklists

Robot HA is an IBM i high availability solution that reduces downtime and provides data replication and business continuity. It allows you to replicate your libraries, IFS directories, and system information from production to backup, which helps eliminate planned and unplanned downtime.

With Robot HA, you can use remote journaling for instant replication across any distance the moment changes are applied to your data. You can also test two different role swap scenarios to verify this replication is done correctly and ensure your systems are secure in the event of unplanned downtime. Role swaps can be tested while users are using production to minimize the disruption of working hours.

Robot HA monitors all aspects of replication — including replication tasks in error, excessive transport or apply lags, user-defined conditions, and more — and sends notification to your phone or email for any issues that need attention.

Robot HA is self-healing. It continuously audits and repairs objects and IFS directories to ensure they match the production system. This synchronization process ensures that your data is up-to-date on the backup without the need for manual monitoring.

You can replicate the following data with Robot HA:

Library data IFS directories Authorization lists System values Program objects

User profiles Object authorities Spooled files Message queues
