Zeke Agents allow scheduling on distributed platforms from the ASG-Zeke mainframe scheduler. Jobs that run on platforms such as UNIX®, Microsoft® NT, AS/400®, HP/MPE, and VMS platforms would be defined, managed, and controlled from ASG-Zeke™ — just like mainframe jobs. This allows the capability for leveraging existing Zeke skill sets and insulates the need to be a platform expert by focusing on scheduling tasks.
