We too make extensive use of the product, though our team does not need to maintain it. Just the backend database. Seems to work as intended, alerting the operations staff in case of failures. I have not heard the folks trash this product. Though, I have had them ask me for JIL scripts, whatever that means, to setup jobs, at which point, I go to my good old cron.

In our environment *all* jobs are handled by Autosys, and we are not supposed to use 'cron'. We use the product for scheduling jobs on a variety of h/w platforms( IBM-AIX, HP, Sun, SGI etc). It does need some dedicated resources to manage a large and dynamic environment. In our case, Operations and Production Control group has 2-3 FTEs maintaining the job schedules. The database used by Autosys is an Oracle 8i database and we have a Senior DBA responsible for it, as it is one of the *most critical* databases in the Company. - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 10:50 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L To All, I'll admit this is somewhat off-topic, but since the project is going to handle all scheduled batch jobs that bang on our PeopleSoft Oracle database, I figured I'd ask if anyone has an opinion preferably from experience using the product. The Complete A^^holes are here today to do a demo install so any input you all have would be appreciated.
