- NEW PRODUCT RELEASE: AUTO-PC VERSION 1.2
-
- Dallas, Texas - On May 15th, 1991 Logical Business Systems, Inc.
- introduced a new product to the market, AUTO-PC. AUTO-PC is the
- most powerful scheduling software available for unattended PC
- processing.
-
- AUTO-PC is automation software that functions as a computer
- robot, capable of running any program or series of programs
- completely unattended.
-
- "AUTO-PC falls into a different category of software products
- with only a few competitors," says Joe Pierce, president of
- Logical Business Systems, Inc.
-
- AUTO-PC offers advantages over its competitor's products with
- more advanced scheduling allowing for:
- * Cyclic Scheduling (hourly, daily, and/or weekly)
- * Periodic Scheduling (monthly)
- * Exact Scheduling (specific dates and times)
- * Scheduling Exceptions (national and company holidays)
- * Last-day-of-the-month selection (for end of the month processing)
- * Schedule Shifting (when a JOB schedule falls on a non work day
- processing can be shifted to the next work day,
- previous work day, or not performed at all)
- * Scheduled Recovery (number of retries at a specified interval)
-
- With AUTO-PC's powerful scheduling, corporations can set
- schedules to perform tasks like:
- * send/receive daily production work to/from a host except on
- national and company holidays.
- * shift payroll distribution to remote sites when the 15th or last
- day of the month falls on a holiday, Saturday, or Sunday.
- * run annual, semi-annual, and/or quarterly accounting and report
- processing.
- * start processing at special times like the third Thursday of
- each month.
-
- AUTO-PC has extensive audit log processing. AUTO-PC's audit log
- allows the user to review exactly what happened during unattended
- processing. AUTO-PC also keeps a JOB history file that shows what
- JOBS were executed, the status of the JOB, the time the JOB was
- scheduled, and the actual time the JOB was performed.
-
-
-
-
-
- Logical Business Systems, Inc. also has a communication option
- called "HOSTKEYS". HOSTKEYS provides automatic control of 3270
- host sessions which allows users to control Micro-to-Mainframe
- operations. HOSTKEYS works with any 3270 emulation product that
- supports IBM's standard HLLAPI (High Level Language Application
- Program Interface). With AUTO-PC and HOSTKEYS, automatic logons,
- host processing, and file transfers can all be performed unattended.
-
- AUTO-PC offers keystroke capture and playback. AUTO-PC can be
- put into a keystroke capture session and PC programs that require
- user input can be executed. AUTO-PC will record the keystrokes
- entered which can then be scheduled for unattended playback. With
- this feature, AUTO-PC can automate literally every kind of
- processing that can manually be performed.
-
- AUTO-PC comes with a boot program to allow the user to schedule
- a system reset. This proves invaluable when software such as 3270
- or 5250 emulation needs to be removed from memory.
-
- "With AUTO-PC you no longer need to burden otherwise
- productive employees with the extra duty of 'babysitting' a
- computer. AUTO-PC always remembers what commands to enter and in
- what sequence. AUTO-PC doesn't forget, go on vacation, or call
- in sick. Using AUTO-PC is like having extra employees that are
- always there when you need them," states Joe Pierce, president of
- Logical Business Systems, Inc.
-
- Logical Business Systems, Inc. is currently marketing AUTO-PC
- by advertising in trade journals, direct mail campaigns, response
- card decks, and through "try before you buy" shareware vendors.
-
- AUTO-PC and HOSTKEYS are available now at a suggested retail
- price of $49.95 each.
-
- AUTO-PC and HOSTKEYS run on IBM PC personal computers and 100%
- compatibles using DOS 2.1 and higher.
-
- Logical Business Systems, Inc. is located at 15790 Dooley,
- Suite #105, Dallas, Texas 75244. Phone (800) 521-5904
