A scheduler that runs scripts on servers of most platforms. I would like it to export information about the configuration in a meaningful format.
* The finance departments are able to run complex processes using scheduled scripts. For example, receiving extract data from service providers via Axway ST, processing the data, reformatting it, sending it out to another system, processing it further, and automating the resulting general ledger reports. These are then viewed by application users. * The IT department is also able to automate complex functions. For example, receiving Bloomberg data from Axway ST, automating the decryption, running a program to filter the data, sending it out to various recipients, and sending email alerts on job failures (scripted). * With routine maintenance procedures, it is a simple thing to pause and restart schedules. It is simple to view the status of schedules and the error outputs from within the console.

Great ability to pre-schedule jobs but unfortunately the simulation is complicated
We use this product for batch processing. We have hundreds of users and carry out 25,000-30,000 jobs per day The solution has helped us because we have multiple node servers and the workload is distributed between them. The key valuable feature is that jobs can be triggered in multiple nodes.…

"We transitioned from a server license to per job license, and that saved us a lot money."
"The contract is with the customer with whom we are working, so IBM is not directly involved in this."
"To my knowledge, IWA is the only WLA product that will provide "parallel tracking" capability to assist in upgrading from one platform to IWA."
