We have 15 DataStage projects and probably close to 1000 jobs in total. Scheduling and monitoring jobs is becoming a problem. Has anyone started scheduling DataStage jobs in an external scheduler...? How does this work for you? How have you implemented this?

Specifically, has anyone done this in HP SiteScope? We are considering this - so that we can put DataStage scheduling into our normal systems batch.

If you're just using cron/Director for that, no wonder it is becoming a problem. We use Control-M, but any kind of Enterprise Scheduler would simplify your life.

BMC's Control-M is a common tool and, when implemented correctly, is a very powerful one. I haven't used HP Sitescope, but I thought it was more of a monitoring tool than a scheduling one.
