Qenos Application Framework - Feature Request: Scheduled ServerScripts, Agent / ServerScript monitoring & Transport enhancements


ServerScripts can now be scheduled exactly the same way as scheduled agents. Advantages of using ServerScripts instead of agents: 1. Automatic error handling. This feature ensures that problematic code is detected and notification sent to administrators.

HOW IT WORKS: A ServerScript set to scheduled mode requires a scrip tlibrary to be selected, which contains the code to run. The designer must create a sub called Main () in the script library. This routine is the entry point to the code. When the ServerScript is saved, QAF generates a corresponding agent which wraps error handling code around the Main () subroutine. Future modifications to the ServerScript are automatically reflected in the background agent. The background agent need never be modified. Should any errors occur, details are recorded in a ServerScript log document and optionally, notification sent to Administrators.

2. ServerScript monitoring The ServerScripts view in QAF Designer now shows scheduled ServerScript details including:

  • Status (enabled / disabled)
  • Schedule details
  • Server name
  • Last-Run date/time
  • STATS string (display info such as number of docs updated)
  • Colour coded entries to show status 'at-a-glance'
  • Timer auto-refresh of ServerScript view
  • Right-click menu option "View Last Log"
  • Action buttons "Toggie Selected On/Off" and "Enable Selected" allows quick and easy enable / disable of selected ServerScripts.

    3. Intelligent transport Dev/Test to Production environment Transporting changes to QAF workflows is a matter of copying & pasting workflow documents / components from the source to destination. The post-paste processing has been enhanced as follows:

  • If the pasted documents contain any scheduled ServerScripts, the user is prompted to enable them. The option is given to enable all on the same server or different servers.
  • The prompt "Would you like to assign new reference numbers to the pasted documents?" now only appears to users with [QAFDesigner] role.
  • The messages relating to how pasted documents have been associated with the selected workflow or otherwise now only appears to users with the [QAFDesigner] role.

    In this field you can enter the actual request.

    You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

    Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
