The Application Policy manager is the final component of the company’s TME 10 suite and includes a Java interface. The complete TME 10 suite costs from $250,000. Tivoli and its workload management and system management software partners have written a scheduling API specification they will support in their respective products enabling customers to use different management programs in conjunction with each other.
