On-Line Data Solutions is pleased to announce the immediate availability of inFusion Scheduler version 1.0 beta 1. inFusion Scheduler is born from the same inFusionEngine technology that drives inFusion Mail Server and inFusion Authenticator. inFusion Scheduler is a Windows NT/2000 Services that retrieves scheduled events and executes the events utilizing the inFusionEngine. Events are retrieved from a ColdFusion template which means that the scheduler is 100% customizable by the developer. Events may be monitored for success or failure and notifications are also sent to a ColdFusion template for processing. inFusion Scheduler can also be configured to stop and restart the ColdFusion service in the event of an error. Advantages over CFSchedule CFSchedule checks for events every 15 minutes. inFusion Scheduler checks every 60 seconds (this will be programmable in the final 1.0 release) CFSchedule executes templates via HTTP. inFusion Scheduler processes templates directly via the inFusionEngine. CFSchedule has a limited number of event types. inFusion Scheduler is fully customizable. CFSchedule keeps events in the Windows Registry. inFusion Scheduler can keep events in any user-defined location including databases. inFusion Scheduler Beta Limitations 1 - The beta will expire after July 31, 2000. 2 - There is no GUI installer. 3 - There is no GUI configuration tool.
