We use Zena to schedule various Powershell and batch script jobs within the company. Some of them are PowerShell scripts. Zena schedules jobs within SAP. It's integrated with our servers and applications. We don't have any workflows going across multiple stacks. Ours are pretty isolated to specific applications and areas. We can organize folders and groupings within our Zena console for each area. We have them organized by business areas like finance and HR or the server where they run.

It's mainly for scheduling and automating tasks. It's a scheduling tool. We have jobs to run in the middle of the night. We have something called Night Cycle that promotes data in the middle of the night. We use this tool to basically create a process that: * Brings down our applications. * Takes a backup of our databases. * Creates extracts from the tables. * Runs the process with recovery migration and sends that data over to different environments. After it's all done, it brings up the applications again. My understanding is that we are using its latest version, and one of the reasons we're moving away from it is that it is off the support. So, I don't know if they're still continuing on, but I'm pretty sure we have the latest version

We use it across mainframe Linux and Windows environments for batch and full workflow dependency. We do a lot of ETLs, so there are a huge number of dependencies, such as, get the flat file from an SFTP or call a script to pull the data out of a data structure. If you don't have the data, then nothing else should run.

We are looking to use Zena for automation on the mainframe but for now, we use it for scheduling batch jobs but only for Migos applications. We're looking to expand it for application planning on the mainframe. We want it to mitigate human errors and do end to end batch processing. We only use it now for Linux and Windows. We want to use it for various platforms. Our IT Infrastructure is very diverse and we want Zena to replace human intervention.
