Human-in-the-loop (HITL) automation integrates human oversight and decision-making into automated systems, allowing humans to guide and validate the automation process.   A simple example is where a workflow pauses for an end-user to accept or reject an activity before continuing execution. One alternative to this is fully autonomous processes. However, HITL ensures business critical and compliance-sensitive actions get human oversight before they are finalized. The growth in capability around AI is driving change in Workload Automation and is moving us closer to Human-on-the-loop (HOTL) as a steppingstone towards full autonomy which can conjure up scary analogies popularized in Sci-Fi movies. Rocket has HOTL capabilities now within AI Predictive Pulse, an AI/ML combo providing insights into job and process execution that inc

Here are some frequently asked questions we receive often about AI Predictive Pulse – our AI Insights engine in Zena, Zeke, and Enterprise Orchestrator products.  Can you integrate with Tidal, Control-M or IBM TWS? Yes, we know our customers have different schedulers and we want to make sure you have visibility across your entire ecosystem. AI Predictive Pulse can provide a holistic view across a broad range of workload automation tools including  Zeke/Zena/Control-M, Autosys, IBM TWS, ROBOT (IBM i) and many more. Think if it as a heterogeneous enterprise view of all your jobs. How do we manage access to AI? This is a cloud-based managed service, so it’s not the same login that you use for Zeke/Zen

I'm in a situation where I am looking to use the Zena Flow construct, i.e.   I've never used it before and am trying to figure out how it works. The scenario is that in a previous task, I procure a variable, [TASK.VARIABLE.gl_parse] which is passed on to subsequent tasks.  I then want to call certain tasks that call certain APIs in the subsequent tasks, depending on the value in [TASK.VARIABLE.gl_parse]. I believe the Flow Construct would be the route to go here.  But what would the coding look like?  I gather it is in the Value section of the Flow Construct: But how would it work here?  I'm thinking check the value of [TASK.VARIABLE.gl_p

Rocket Zena and Enterprise Orchestrator (EO) has a RESTful API interface that allows you to interact with the system programmatically. This means you can integrate Zena and EO with other applications, automate tasks, and access data in a flexible and efficient way. If you’re looking for RESTful API documentation, login to your Zena or Enterprise Orchestrator instance, in the top right-hand corner you’ll see the menu option (as shown below) If there’s any out-of-the-box integrations you’d like to see in the future, comment them below.------------------------------Olivia SultanovSolution Marketing ManagerRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Instead of running tasks every half hour to check for files, Director Monitor automates the process for you. It detects when a file appears in a specific directory and ensures it’s triaged to the right process based on your needs. Did you know you can add multiple source paths to the source path field by using a comma-separated list of fully qualified paths? If you need to monitor a specific file across multiple locations, you can include all the paths in a single line. This means one directory monitor can check multiple folders simultaneously. For example, you can use one source path line to monitor files in both folder A and folder B. The file monitor will then automatically search both locations for files 1, 2, 3, and 4, saving you the trouble of manually checking each folder separately. Here’s how it works across retail and banking industries:

If you’re troubleshooting an application in Zena or Enterprise Orchestrator, you need to check the status of a specific job flow and keep an eye on the overall system health. Without tabs, you’d be switching between different windows or views, losing your train of thought and wasting precious time. Here’s a quick post on how to open multiple tabs in Zena and Enterprise Orchestrator’s UI so you never have to lose your train of thought again. With multiple tabs, you have the option to rearrange tabs. As shown in the diagram below, you have the option to close tabs, close other tabs, or close all tabs. This capability is available in operations and authoring pane. ------------------------------Olivia SultanovSolution Marketing ManagerRocket Foru

Custom Dashboards provider users with a personalized and efficient way to monitor systems. Here’s a quick breakdown of what they are and why they’re useful: What are Custom Dashboards? Custom dashboards allow you to create tailored views of the most relevant information for your specific needs and responsibilities.
