We use JobPak from Nobix.  The product works very well and we haven't had major problems with it.  Plus, it is already released as a Y2K compliant version.  We have tested the product during the Dec 31 - Jan 1 turnover and didn't have any problems at all.  We schedule approximately 200 jobs a night on our productional server and haven't had any major problems. 

We did encounter a bug a few months ago, which caused a system abort due to a bug in the MPE OS.  Nobix immediately created a fix for us and dialed in and fixed it.  And this was after hours for Nobix support.  At the very least check them out.

Subject:        Job Scheduler for HP3000

Hi all,

we are currently using Maestro job scheduler from Tivoli. As we do not
succeed in getting a correct Y2K release, I try to find competitor software.
Could you tell me which competitive schedulers should provide at least the
same functionnalities than Maestro ? What should be your opinion about them
?

Thank you for your help in advance.

JM
