We are very pleased to announce that Total Visual Agent 2013 is now shipping.
Don’t Forget System Administration for Microsoft Access Database Solutions
A professional Microsoft Access database application needs ongoing system administration. It’s an area that many MS Access developers neglect and causes problems when things go wrong (database corruption, missing backups, disaster recovery, etc.):
- Microsoft recommends periodic database compacts and repair to maintain optimal performance and avoid database corruption.
- Our recommendations for Creating a Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan for Microsoft Access Database Applications.
Enterprise Quality System Administration with Audit Logs and Email Alerts
Total Visual Agent has provided an Enterprise Quality solution for almost 20 years by giving organizations a reliable way to perform their critical tasks on a 24/7, 365 days a year basis. A detailed audit log documents each action that is performed, and sends emails if errors are encountered.
Schedule Events, Databases, and Actions to Perform
Total Visual Agent automates and schedules Microsoft Access tasks. It ensures repetitive tasks are completed reliably. Tasks such as database compact and repair, zipped backups, rolling backups (e.g. 7 copies for each day of the week), running macros, running Windows command lines, making copies of table data, collecting database statistics such as size and record counts, etc. Easily schedule tasks for the middle of the night and know they’ll be completed.
Events can be scheduled every X minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or just one time. You can specify the days of week and time periods that it runs to limit processing to off-hours. Select the databases and directories (including subdirectories) to manage with support for workgroup security and database passwords.
Includes a Windows Service for Secure Processing and Reliability
Once defined, the events and tasks can be run by our Monitor program that is a standard Windows program.
Alternatively, Total Visual Agent includes a Windows Service, so you can run your tasks without having anyone logged on the machine. The Windows service is a more secure, robust solution since it can automatically restart if the machine reboots.
