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: Retail: Most retailers have a file listing what was sold. Director Monitor moves it to a directory for processing, helping you track sales

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 Forum Shared Account------------------------------

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. Instead of being stuck with a pre-defined layout, you can choose the data and visualizations that matter most to you. Data Visualization: You can add various widgets to your dashboard to display data in different formats such as charts, graphics, tables, and gauges. This makes it easier to understand complex information at a glance. Real-time Monitoring: Many widgets update in real-time, giving you up-to-the-minute insights into the performance and status of your system. This helps you identify and address issues quickly.

Many of the companies I’ve worked with on automation are now expanding the scope of automation beyond IT and application workflows. They're pushing deeper into business units, actively identifying processes ripe for automation. A key focus in these efforts is understanding how to trigger automation effectively. What's the event that sets it in motion? How do we integrate these triggers into our systems? Today, processes are initiated by system notifications,  file arrivals, or other standard events. But one area with huge potential is automation triggered by humans - informed decisions made by people who stay in the loop. This on-demand, ad-hoc automation, where a human initiates or interacts with the process at a key step, is an essential piece of the puzzle for achieving pervasive or hyper-automation.  Think about workflows like onboarding new staff, offboarding, password resets, report generation, or approval processes. Many of these start with a human interaction or require a criti

Configuring client manager for HTTPS might seem like an extra step, but it’s crucial for establishing secure communication and protecting sensitive data transmitted between clients and server. Here’s why: Encryption: HTTPS encrypts the data exchanged between the client and server, preventing unauthorized access and tampering. This is especially important when dealing with sensitive information like user credentials, financial data, or personal details. Authentication: HTTPS verifies the identity of the server, ensuring that clients are connecting to the legitimate server and not a malicious imposter. This helps prevent phishing attacks and other security threats. Data integrity: HTTPS ensures that the data transmitted between the client and server remains intact and unaltered. This prevents data corruption or manipulation during transit.

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Paul and I love to talk about Workload Automation. I helped design and develop my first Enterprise Scheduler in 1993 on IBM midrange systems (formerly AS400 but now known as IBM i). Today's Enterprise Workload Automation products are highly advanced and further along the automation continuum with even more exciting developments looming. I will be introducing some of these shortly in other posts but for now I just wanted to say hello and I'm looking forward to learning more about your challenges and how we can help you overcome them and drive operational efficiency. I live in the UK but please don't hold that against me it's just a time-zone issue so some of my posts/replies might appear to be odd hours however I do love engaging in all forms of workload automation so who's knows I might be up early 😊. Happy to hear your short intro's so we can get acquainted. ------------------------------Paul Wade B.Sc. Director, Product Management-------------------

Do you manage complex workflows across different systems?

Last night at 11 PM, while jobs were running in Zena for the Enterprise Data Warehouse, we encountered an error. Zena, the scheduler, communicates via an agent on the data warehouse server. The job error we received was: "Native launch services disconnected. Job status unknown." I found a case (#KB306811) related to this error, but the solution provided wasn't very helpful. Has anyone else experienced this error and found a more relevant solution? The error seemed temporary since the jobs ran fine after a restart. However, the logs have been overwritten since last night.------------------------------mende domazetovskiIS Application ManagerThe Huntington National BankCOLUMBUS OH US------------------------------
