UC4 Software Delivers Graphical View of Job Flows

November 10, 2009 Alex Woodie

Conceptualizing the flow of jobs in an enterprise environment is a difficult task. Tens of thousands of jobs might run across many platforms in a single day, with dependencies and file transfers linking them. To help IT managers get a better handle on their enterprise job flows, job scheduling vendor UC4 Software last week announced PrintView, a new reporting tool that generates graphical views of job flows.

PrintView, which was developed in concert with the German company APS|ENTERprise, outputs graphical files to a variety of formats, including .jpg, .png, .gif, .tif, and .bmp. Files can be imported into Visio, or printed on any Windows-compatible printer or plotter, the company says.

UC4 says customers will be better able to understand the workflows by seeing visual representations of them. This will lead them to find ways to make workflows more efficient and streamlined, according to Vincent Stueger, UC4 chief technology officer.

“With our customers deploying increasingly complicated process flows across physical, virtual, and cloud computing environments, we have seen a growth in demand for an easy-to-use product that can generate high-quality graphical documentation of their job plans,” Stueger says.

PrintView is designed to work with the version 8 release of the UC4’s Workload Automation Suite, which the company shipped in April. UC4’s software installs on Unix, Linux, or Windows servers, and manages jobs across most major operating systems, including IBM i (OS/400), mainframe, BS2000, and OpenVMS, as well as Unix, Linux, and Windows.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
