POLYCENTER Scheduler
Product Function: Workload Management
Product Name: POLYCENTER Scheduler for OpenVMS
Product Strategy:
Workload management automates the scheduling, execution, monitoring and recovery
of production jobs, such as payroll, manufacturing, resource planning, and
system management functions. Users require management of production processing
and job synchronization across multiple platforms over the LAN and WAN from a
single workstation.
POLYCENTER Scheduler has provided this functionality on the OpenVMS platform.
CA-Unicenter is recognized as the industry standard enterprise management
solution for mission critical computing. Within the production environment,
scheduling is a key function and is available today through CA-Unicenter
Workload Scheduling. Scheduling for OpenVMS will soon be available via
CA-Unicenter and, in the future, will be part of the comprehensive platform
coverage provided by CA-Unicenter TNG.
Stage 1:
The new release of POLYCENTER Scheduler will add a Motif interface and support
OpenVMS V6.2 and V7.0.
When: Beta in December, 1996
Stage 2:
Develop Windows NT GUI for POLYCENTER Scheduler with the look and feel of
CA-Unicenter. This will enable single-console administration for POLYCENTER
OpenVMS point products and CA-Unicenter.
Incorporate POLYCENTER Scheduler into the new CA-Unicenter for OpenVMS.
POLYCENTER Scheduler functionality will be integrated over time with other
CA-Unicenter management functions such as:
1.Events
2.Security
3.Single Sign-on
4.Reports
The GUI provides a single point of administration with a consistent look and
feel from Windows NT.
When: Beta in December, 1996
