Protecting Your Investment
Your OS/400 platform manages many of the critical business processes
essential to the success of your organization. This platform must share data
from its business processes with the other strategic systems and
applications in your environment. The fact is, your organization can no
longer afford to handle data sharing among these applications manually,
especially in the face of increased business demands for efficiency and
competitive advantages. That’s why many organizations have turned to Tidal
Software to fill the gap between legacy OS/400 applications, job schedulers
and their Windows, UNIX, Linux, OVMS and z/OS environments as well as to
increase the manageability of their OS/400 environment.
Increasing Your Capabilities
With the Tidal Enterprise Adapter for OS/400, you can define, launch,
monitor and control OS/400 jobs, job dependencies and file events, without
making modifications to your existing OS/400 jobs or job definitions. The
non-invasive Enterprise Adapter also enables you to manage critical
dependencies among existing OS/400 applications or schedulers and other
systems. Jobs running on the OS/400 platform can depend on the status or
results of a job running on another platform or on processes running in
other applications.
