I think Dan's and my answer are same. Why only 5 pts for me. :)

I think there are only really two contenders maestro and autosys they are both great schedulers and provide the functionality required. I think HP tend to lean towards autosys for openview etc.

Have a look at

http://www.unix.hp.com/operating/hpux11/specials/power_program/pp/p/platinum.html

But in my opinion they both do a pretty good job with all the components that you require.

We even wrote our own front end to integrate into maestro using tk and it was very straight forward.

Madhu, I gave the extra points because of the additional info about Legato, etc. Did I miss something?

I'm not sure if it's SAP complient, We've been useing Express for unix by Openware. (formely Title software) It's been a pretty good product for our environment. It has a good interface, and a lot of functionality.

Paul, My company was in a similar boat as you, I don't know if this is still an issue, but we researched it heavily and narrowed it down to Tivoli, UC 4 and Sysadmiral. However, we discovered that tivoli no longer supports mpe, they sold that portion to another company, so we are not to big on them. When are budget opens up we are going with one of those, any adivice?
