Automate, a valued member of our staff.

Without our Automate PCs running, printing, and emailing reports, we would have to consider hiring another staff member. One who is willing to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...

AutoMate / Professional Edition

AutoMate 6 comes in two available editions: AutoMate Professional and AutoMate Enterprise.

Below is a description of AutoMate Professional's core capabilities.

AutoMate Professional Featues
  • Expressions
    AutoMate Professional contains the ability to embed expressions directly into the parameters of task steps. Any valid BASIC expression can be embedded directly into any step parameter, eliminating the need to write an entire BASIC subroutine using the “Run a BASIC Script” action for simple one line data formatting and/or retrieval operations. These operations can now be accomplished “inline” inside the AutoMate task.

  • IF / ELSE Decision Support
    Give AutoMate the power to make decisions! AutoMate Professional allows for the evaluation of variables and expressions in AutoMate tasks and for specific actions to occur as a result of that evaluation through the IF action. The IF action will make this easier and completely code-free (not to also mention it making AutoMate even more powerful).

  • Loop Actions
    Easy to use loop actions allow you to perform an set of actions repeatedly by looping over: files in a folder, open windows, records in a database, running processes, expression, items in a list and of course a number range.

  • Database Connectivity
    Connect via OLEDB to any SQL compliant datasource query and take action based on the results using the powerful Loop Dataset and IF actions.

  • Task Failure Notification
    AutoMate Professional contains the ability to send e-mail alerts to specific users when a task or specific task step fails. All relevant information is sent (including the date, time, line number and reason for failure). Options for pager message formatting is included as well.
  • Win32 Service
    AutoMate Professional contains an option to employ a true Win32 Service to monitor trigger conditions and run tasks - even when the system is locked or logged out!

  • File System Trigger
    AutoMate Professional offers an additional trigger which allows the file system to be monitored for changes and trigger a task when a for example a file arrives, a file or folder is modified or removed.

  • Performance Watcher Trigger
    AutoMate Professional offers an additional trigger which allows the monitoring of CPU, memory, disk and other important performance thresholds. Tasks can be run when specified "acceptable" performance quotas are not met.

  • Remote Administration
    AutoMate Professional contains the ability to be remotely managed over any TCP/IP network - including the Internet.

  • BASIC Scripting Language and function library
    AutoMate Professional combines scheduling power and application control with a full-featured Visual Basic for Applications compliant scripting language. The scripting engine integrates seamlessly into the existing AutoMate framework, appearing as an extra option in the macro builder called 'Run a Script'.

    We have already added several new automate-centric commands, such as extensions of the BASIC scripting language and regularly release periodic AutoMate BASIC scripting language extension updates that are free to all registered users of AutoMate Professional.
