ASG-Zebb vs Model9 comparison

ASG-Zebb handles reruns automatically with precision and accuracy, all without
changes or modifications to Job Control Language (JCL). ASG is proud to offer the
generational restart functionality as a main feature of ASG-Zebb. This industry
exclusive capability allows accurate reruns of previous jobs regardless of whether
or not that job occurred several days, or several cycles, ago. By eliminating manual
intervention, ASG-Zebb ensures that jobs will use correct datasets and will be
completed virtually error free.
ASG-Zebb automatically recognizes when an abended job is being rerun. It provides
the user with precise information and then efficiently determines the most logical
restart point – usually at the point of failure. In addition, ASG-Zebb works seamlessly
with other job scheduling tools, such as ASG-Zeke, to restart jobs.
