Tivoli Workload Scheduler for Applications

Aggregates and centrally manages workloads

• Uses the built-in workload capabilities of Oracle E-business Suite, PeopleSoft, SAP R/3 and SAP Business Warehouse. Includes SAP certification.
• Enables you to move from a static workload view to a fully automated, dynamic and service-driven environment. Supports calendar-based and event-based workload automation.
• Allows you to control application automation from host or distributed environments using a single administrative console.
• Simplifies troubleshooting by providing near real-time information on job status and statistics.

Supports business goals and service level agreements

• Optimizes resources with workload brokering features. When one resource fails or slows, the software automatically routes workloads to better-performing resources.
• Increases resiliency throughout the infrastructure with fault-tolerant features, such as automatic notification, recovery and restart for failed workloads.
• Increases the speed of workload execution on SAP applications and scales to meet workload demands and support additional applications as needed.
• Increases efficiency and productivity by automatically resolving workload dependencies. This helps ensure continuity in complex environments using composite applications for business services.
• Models workloads prior to production. The planning engine enables you to execute rules and test performance before running workloads in production.
