What can Task3000 do for
you? Task3000 system is package of programs that combines batch
functionality of the big host computer and the simple graphical
interface of the Microsoft Windows platform. With Task3000 system you can
run Windows and console programs as batch tasks under the control of the
Task3000 system. Tested with many popular programs like Microsoft Office,
Oracle, SAS, Windows .cmd or .bat procedures etc. Task3000 integrates graphical
and console applications and run it automatically according to the parameters.
Automatic input and output queue handling, global and local variables for the
task steps, snapshot of the console windows, return codes from the scanning of
the file contents, procedures to handle the bad task execution, resource and
time limits are the main advantages of the use of the Task3000 system. With the
good hardware platform and properly implemented Windows Server the Task3000
system now runs several years without restart The
result is comparable to the much more expensive host computer system and can be
used for highly professional applications.
New: Task3000 now run on 64bit Windows platforms up to product version 6.X
Task3000 functionality
is shortly described as Interactive Batch Multiserver Scheduler:
-
Interactive
means that you can enter parameters for the task using simple
Windows menus, with the parameters controlled by simple built-in
checking routine tests like length, numeric, file, checkbox, combo
box, date, time etc.
-
Batch
meansthat machine will run the task automatically without user intervention
according to the parameters given on the same or different machine
(server).
-
Multiserver
means that users can control tasks on any number of Task3000 Servers
on the network or thru Windows Remote Access Service (RAS)
-
Scheduler
means that your tasks will run once or repeatedly according to the
scheduling plan. Scheduler is much easy manageable and more flexible
than built-in Windows scheduler and enables you very complex
scheduling with minimum set of parameters needed (like run task
every working day 8 times from 8:00 in the morning every hour)

Task3000 was designed by
professional network administrators, which try to do as much work as possible
automatically, running the network of several hundreds PC and laptops, and
several dozen of servers. It is design to run on Microsoft Windows operating
system with the use of Local administration, NT Windows Domain or Active
Directory service. Designers should have the knowledge of Windows network
administrators to set the desired security on the file system and define
appropriate users and groups (not necessary or optional for single workstation
with Task3000 Personal server) Users should have only the knowledge of using the
Windows thru standard Windows graphical users interface.
Examples of the best
usage of the Task3000 system:
-
Several Windows 98 workstations using
Task3000 Menu are connected thru the network or RAS to the powerful
Windows 2000 Professional with Task3000 Server to
run batch tasks to run administrative tasks for running the store. Server
has one powerful printer to print the documents. Benefits: single license
can be used on the Windows 2000 Professional, central management and backup
etc. Very cheap solution to run small networks.
-
Task3000 designer is using laptop
computer with Windows 2000 Professional and Task3000
Menu, Task3000 Workstation and
Task3000 Personal Server. Tasks are designed and tested on the Task3000
Personal Server, and after successful testing they are running on the
previously described system with several Windows 98 workstations and Windows
2000 Professional server. Benefits: Task3000 designer can be the employee of
the firm or can be for instance the small firm which sells computers and
integrate software solutions for their customers (acting as service
providers for several firms).
-
Large firm is using only Windows NT,
Win2000 or Windows XP as a stable and reliable business platform for
workstations and servers. Task3000 Servers are
performing predefined tasks for the firm on several servers. Users have
Task3000 Menu andTask3000 Submitter
installed to use the functionality of automatic processing using batch tasks
on one ore more servers with Task3000 Server. Firm
use Active Directory Services, but Local administration is used. However, in
the local users group global ADS group is defined as the user. Servers are
members of the ADS. Firm have skilled Windows administrators, which also
design the tasks with Task3000 Menu,
Task3000 Workstation
and Task3000 Personal Server on the portable
computers. Benefits: Central management, automatic queue maintenance, less
education of the users to perform the task, firm can use high speed network
to connect dedicated servers, network traffic is mainly between servers
using high speed backbone and not between workstations and servers, smaller
license fee for the software etc.
