Orchid Process Scheduler
Automated scheduling of critical business processes Peace of mind with integrity checking and error notification Use with Info-Explorer to refresh and email cubes
What is Orchid Process Scheduler?
Process Scheduler enables you to schedule when your Sage 300 (Accpac) data is checked and backed up, and to schedule automation of other processes as required. All schedules are tracked, and a history of the scheduled actions – success or failure – can be reported on at any time.
It maximizes system resource usage by allowing you to automatically perform tasks overnight, when the system is not otherwise being used.
Checking the integrity of your Sage 300 data and running processes on a regular basis has never been easier!
How It Works
Data Integrity Processes Automated
Schedule Sage 300 to check your data integrity unattended. Send alerts when new errors are detected. Specify which companies and which modules must be checked. Keep a history of results of past integrity checks and optionally clear old logs. Keep up to date test and reporting databases by loading your data into different databases overnight.
System Processes Automated
Run day end, and optionally post batches. Post AR, AP, GL, IC and PJC batches. Automatically dump your data for backup. Copy/load your data for testing and reporting. Schedule custom processes and programs. Schedule GL Consolidation Export and Import. Reconcile GL Consolidation Import and Export. Automate notification of changes to active Sage 300 ERP Modules and Product Update details – per company. Close last fiscal period and open next fiscal period, open new fiscal year. Check disk space on nominated drive, and send an email if less than x% is free.
Reporting Processes Automated
Use with Orchid Report Runner to schedule recurring Crystal or Sage 300 Financial Reporter reports Use Process Scheduler to refresh and distribute Orchid Info-Explorer cubes
