CA WA Agent for i5/OS

CA WA Agent for i5/OS runs on the i5/OS operating system enabling the scheduling manager to submit and run workload on the i5/OS platform. You can run workload from the following file systems:

Root file system
Open systems file system (QOpenSys)
Library file system (QSYS)

You can schedule most UNIX workload, such as UNIX scripts, in the PASE environment on the i5/OS operating system.

Using the agent, you can automate and manage your i5/OS environment from one central point of control. For example, you can do the following:

Process jobs on an i5/OS platform with predecessor or successor jobs running on a z/OS mainframe or on other platforms
Run workload across one or more i5/OS systems connected to a central scheduling manager site
Pass information between the scheduling manager and the agent

You can also use the agent to automate FTP transfers using FTP jobs. An FTP job can use an existing FTP server or the agent as an FTP server. The FTP job always acts as an FTP client. You can set up the agent to run as an FTP client, FTP server, or both. You can define SCP and SFTP jobs to securely transfer binary files between an agent computer and a remote computer. You can upload to or download data from a remote server. The data is encrypted during the transfer. Other functionality includes the ability to monitor the disk, CPU and files on the system, as well as respond to jobs in a message wait (MSGW) state on the i5 system, and retrieve the spool file(s) for a job.
