Subject: General Availability Announcement for CA AutoSys Workload Automation r11

On behalf of CA, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide high-quality, innovative software and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly release updated versions of our products. Today, we are pleased to announce that CA AutoSys Workload Automation r11 is now available.

New features for CA AutoSys Workload Automation r11 include:

• CA Workload Control Center. The CA Workload Control Center provides end-to-end visualization of business processes across multiple platforms via a consolidated, web-based job flow view.
  
  
• Business Process Automation. Business processes can easily drive CA AutoSys WA by integrating with the new Software Developer's Kit (SDK). The SDK exposes core functionality via API's available in C++, JAVA and as a Web Service.
  
  
• Dynamic Workload Placement and Balancing. Integration with the CA-MDB (Management Database) allows job flows to be balanced effectively across available resources. CA AutoSys WA can respond to 'fluid' environments where resources change dynamically.
  
  
• Increased Performance and Scalability. The CA AutoSys WA architecture has been re-factored to greatly increase throughput compared to previous versions.
  
  
• Asset-Level Security and Role-Based Administration. Using CA's embedded Entitlements Manager (EEM) as an security engine, administrators can create specific roles for job management users, such as granting specific privileges to certain types of jobs.
  
  
• Machine Status - Offline and Online. CA AutoSys WA machines can be proactively or manually taken offline.
• New Job Attributes - Application and Group. New job attributes have been added as an organizational method of administrating jobs.
  
  
• Web Services. CA Workload Control Center exposes a friendly user interface tailored towards the administration and monitoring of Web Service Jobs.
  
  
• JIL Syntax Checker. The JIL Syntax Checker allows preprocessing of JIL to identify syntax errors prior to committing the job definitions to the database.
  
  
• Granular Job Dependencies. An existing Unicenter CA-7 Job Management feature known as "look-back" allows a job dependency to look-back to determine if the predecessor has completed within a user-defined timeframe.
  
  
• Extended Calendar Support. Job Definition's can use an optional extended calendar that specifies the holidays, workday and cycle periods.
  
  
• Reporting Enhancements. CA Workload Control Center will provide a highly graphical reporting and charting presentation tool to present management and performance data in real-time.
  
  
• Unicenter ServicePlus Service Desk Integration. Integration with Unicenter ServicePlus Service Desk.
  
  
• Software High Availability Improvements. Integration with Unicenter NSM High Availability Service to allow CA AutoSys WA to install in a Clustered environment and use clustering services.
