Key Features: Web-Based GUI

The iXp system provides a web-based GUI and command line interface for monitoring, controlling, and reporting on AutoSys job streams across multiple instances without requiring local software installation. It enables customized views of job streams based on attributes and supports single sign-on authentication against Active Directory as well as host and IP address validation. Granular authorizations can be assigned to users for privileges like accessing specific jobs, acknowledging alarms, and controlling jobs according to attribute-based access control lists.

Key Features

Client Interfaces Web-based GUI: The iXp GUI client can be launched
from a web-browser. It enables users to monitor, update, control, forecast, simulate, report on, and print AutoSys job streams across multiple instances. The iXp GUI provides a variety of graphical views, including Job Flow, Gantt, Tree, and Console views. Since the GUI is web-based, no software installation is required. Thin Client CLI: iXp also provides command line utilities that provide the capability to view, report, control, create, update, delete AutoSys jobs and global variables. The commands can be executed from any client system and do not require a local AutoSys software installation. The CLI is counterpart to standard AutoSys commands for the same function (e.g. autorep, sendevent, jil). The commands support the same input and output format as their AutoSys counterparts.
The web-based iXp GUI enables users to view the real-time information for AutoSys job streams in a variety of graphical views.

Customized View creation: Users and administrators


can create unlimited numbers of views that show different job streams based on Job attributes. You can specify multiple values for each attribute, including wildcards, to create views specific to your business areas.

User Authentication Single Sign-On (SSO): Each user has to be


successfully authenticated before they can use the GUI or CLI clients. iXp supports Active Directory / NT Domain, and OS-based SSO authentication. The iXp Administrators can provide a granular list of valid Domains. Users that are not logged on to those domains will be unable to launch the GUI or the CLI. Host and IP Address Validation: Administrators can specify a wild-carded list or range of IP Addresses and host names. Users that have successfully authenticated to valid Domains will be denied access to the iXp GUI or CLI if the client machine does not match the list of IP

User Authorizations AutoSys Job Privileges: Users have to be assigned


authorization policies in order for them to access iXp. iXp supports Job Read, Job Control, Job Insert, Job Update, Owner List and Job Override privileges. For each privilege, Administrators can assign authorized list of jobs (and owner names for Owner List) to each user. These lists are based on multiple values, including wildcards, for different job attributes. Values can be provided for job attributes such as name, machine, owner etc. Each user can be authorized with multiple lists for each privilege. AutoSys Alarm Privileges: Administrators can also assign authorizations to enable users to Acknowledge, or Close AutoSys Alarms. Same lists as those used for Job Privileges can be used.

The iXp Authorization model is common to both the GUI and CLI. Users issuing events from the GUI or using the sendevent command will pass through the same security model.
