Lifesaver for IT professional

This program has literally changed my life. I have had absolutely no reliability issues, especially when careful to set the priority levels to suit the job. It is set up to send an alert to my messaging pager when any of a number of event occur on my servers. It is one of the most useful utilities I have ever purchased....

AutoMate / Architecture
architecture

AutoMate breaks down business processes into "visual" steps. These steps when combined with triggers and called a "task".

Tasks are built via drag-and-drop without writing a single line of code. The resulting task can emulate an actual user performing the sequence of steps

Actions are used to instruct AutoMate how to Carry Out Your Task..

AutoMate tasks are created using AutoMate's drag-and-drop Task Builder. Simply drag and drop the specific steps, selected from over 160 available actions and place them in the order they should be executed.

A Trigger is a Condition or Event in Windows that tells AutoMate to Execute a Task.

These triggers include:

  • Schedule (i.e. run task every night at midnight)
  • Appearance of a particular window or dialog box (such as an error or confirmation prompt)
  • File Additions or modifications
  • System threshold monitor (such as CPU usage, memory, disk space
  • Windows Event Log entry

Memory Efficient Design

To conserve system resources during normal runtime, the AutoMate software application comprises three primary components:

  • The Task Administrator
    The Task Administrator the central tool used to customize and direct AutoMate. It is highly graphical, and is only loaded when administering tasks on the local or remote machine.

  • The Task Builder
    The Task Builder is used to visually sequence AutoMate task steps to be carried out, whether triggered or run manually. This component is also highly graphical, and so is loaded only when designing tasks.

  • The Task Service
    Runs as a system service, doing the work of launching tasks according to triggers you specify. The AutoMate Task Service has no real interface, uses very little system memory, and runs continuously in the background.

Extend AutoMate with VBA Compatible Scripting

For advanced users, AutoMate contains a built-in, industry standard, Visual BASIC for Applications (VBA)™- compatible scripting environment.

This Integrated Development Environment "extends" the core abilities of AutoMate™ to yield a virtually limitless range of possibilities.
