Automated process rerun management

Rocket® Zebb is an automated restart system that monitors jobs on one or multiple mainframe computers. It evaluates and logs the execution steps within jobs and provides automated restart and recovery capabilities.

It tracks error causes, including restart tracking, reload and recovery of jobs, and execution statistics. Zebb maintains a duplicate, secondary (vault) database and uses its local electronic vaulting services to perform quick restarts, avoiding the need to perform database recoveries or backup routines if DASD or CPU failure occurs 

Make operations seamless by eliminating service interruptions caused by archival or database backups.

Productivity improvement in data centers

Zebb is a comprehensive automated process rerun management system that improves productivity in data centers by reducing manual tasks that are required to restart or rerun jobs.

All Zebb features and capabilities are accessible from OpsCentral. Zebb handles reruns automatically with precision and accuracy, all without changes or modifications to Job Control Language (JCL). This industry-exclusive capability allows accurate reruns of previous jobs regardless of whether that job occurred several days, or several cycles, ago. By eliminating manual intervention, Zebb ensures that jobs will use correct datasets and will be completed virtually error-free.
