Several of my clients have CTM. I have not seen what IBM AJS can do but at
the time they switched to CTM, it gave them the ability to intermix their
Unix, Windows, and Teradata (I think) platforms and have real time
reactivity.
As for the arrival of the file, CTM has the same functionality. I believe
they call it FileWatcher. When a file lands, CTM can start a job to process
it. I don't know if it can specifically watch for files the iSeries (I
haven't been in the CTM trenches for years). Everything at my client sites
lands from external sources into a DMZ and then CTM picks it up, moves it to
the iSeries, and then starts an iSeries job to process it.

I saw a demo yesterday. I was unimpressed, but Ben Dover already got the
client's signature on a contract.
Fortunately, the guy doing the implementation is a former IBM'er, and
understands the OS. He knows enough to focus his efforts on the interfaces
between the peripheral applications and the main line of business
application.

One useful feature we have found in AJS is the ability to schedule an IBM i
job to run based on the arrival of a network file sent to the system using
SNDNETF.
With Control-M, to do the same thing would require creating a "wrapper" CL
program and have Control-M execute the job periodically to receive the file
and call the program which processes it.

Paul-
My client uses Control-M on their Power (IBM i & Linux) systems for
scheduling JDE and SAP jobs.
Give me a call...

Is anybody on the list using it? What are your thoughts? One of my clients
is being led to believe that this is better than whatever IBM sells for job
scheduling, etc.
