AutoSys is a workload automation tool supplied by Computer Associates. Current version is r11.3. The Application Servers and Schedulers are supported on: Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux and Windows servers. Clients (Remote Agents) can be run on Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Windows, z/OS, OS/390, zSeries, VSE, and OpenVMS.

Autosys is a product from Platinum, it is a job scheduling software. Most basic job scheduling is done using Unix - Cron (or windows - AT), which is time based", it will fire the job based on the clock. However, in real business, you need to fire jobs not just based on scheduled time, but also based on events (like an arrival of a file), and, based on the success or failure of other jobs. Autosys is a total job scheduling solution that allows you to define these events, dependencies, time schedules, alerts, etc., making it a complete data centre automation tool.
