6.5 Version 7.1 changes and additions
Several new features have been added and numerous errors discovered and
corrected in this version of EnterpriseSCHEDULE. They are listed below.
- Variable Expressions - have been added to expand
the variable and preprocessing features of EnterpriseSCHEDULE. This
feature enables the introduction of complex date expressions,
arithmatic expressions and string expressions to variables and as
preprocessed expressions in the command list and Notification message
of a job. Variables can now be one of two types; a STRING variable or
an EXPRESSION. A string variable remains as it was in previous versions
and can be used for compares and assignments when a job is run. An
expression is evaluated when the job is run and therefore can change at
run time if a date expression is included. The PREPROCESS command now
displays the resolved value of any expressions in preprocessor
directives. The -result qualifier has been added to the lsvar command
to display the current value of a variable expression. The -type
qualifier has been added to the lsvar, chvar and mkvar to display,
modify or create a variable's type of either STRING or EXPRESSION.
- Windows Client Enhancements - The Windows client
has been enhanced with a new look and feel incorporating new menus and
icons. Improvements have been made when converting layouts from MOTIF
to Windows to allow more layout customization. A new feature, Folder
Templates has been added that allows the selective transfer of objects
(jobs, layouts, calendars etc) to a new folder in the Explorer View.
The Variable property page now includes a dropdown menu that allows the
user to choose between a string or expression as well as a tab that
allows the testing of dates and times with date expressions.
- Prototype Job Enhancements - The list of
Prototype jobs (templates used to create jobs that perform a specific
task) has increased and is now categorized. Among the list of
prototypes now included:
- Database Querying
- .NET scripting
- FTP and HTTP procedures
- System Monitoring
- Message Queue procedures
- Compression and Encryption
- SQL Database Operations
- System pinging
- System polling
In addition EnterpriseSCHEDULE REPORTS have now been incorporated as
prototype jobs, simplifying and automating the report creation
procedure.
- Platform Matrix - EnterpriseSCHEDULE's list of
supported platforms has been increased to include the following:
- Reference Documents have been reorganized and split up to make
relevant topics easier to access.
