Software Spotlight: Audit Trail Module

Audit Trail is a SpoolFlex add-on module which allows you to track the distribution of your reports -- recording when the report was sent, the delivery method, the sender, and the recipient. Audit Trail tracks your documents distributed via file creation as well as e-mail, and it enables your failed and sent e-mail logs to track up to 1,000 entries each.

Key Features:

Index fields on the spooled page, such as customer #, invoice #, and statement date for easy searching.

Search for documents by distribution name, date range, recipient, sender, document name, or index fields.

View the original document sent with a single keystroke. The document is launched in the appropriate PC application (Acrobat, Excel, etc.) automatically, viewable directly on the user's PC.

Resend the original document to the original recipient, or redirect it to another recipient or group.

IBM Scientists Demonstrate Computer Memory Breakthrough

For the first time, scientists at IBM Research (NYSE: IBM) have demonstrated that a relatively new memory technology, known as phase-change memory (PCM), can reliably store multiple data bits per cell over extended periods of time. This significant improvement advances the development of low-cost, faster and more durable memory applications for consumer devices, including mobile phones and cloud storage, as well as high-performance applications, such as enterprise data storage.

Answers to Your Questions

Q: My spooled file is over 100 pages long. I would like to print the form as duplexed, using the same form on the back and using the next page of the spooled file. How can I set this up?

A: In FormFlex when you are editing your form's header, press <F18> for More Options and then put a 1 by Page Setup. Type DUPLEX ALL PAGES in the Print conditions field, type your same form name in the 2nd Form Name field, and type *NEXT in the Duplexing Spool Page Processing field.

Q: I have a form designed in FormFlex that looks great, except that I need to change the font sizes – making everything a size smaller than it is. Is there an easy way to do this?

A: Yes. In FormFlex when you are editing your form, press <F14> for Group Change. You can specify the font name and size you are searching for and the font name and size you want it replaced with. When you press <Enter>, our software will find and replace all of those fonts for you.

Q: Sometimes an e-mail I send through SpoolFlex to myself does not ever reach me. Is there any way to check if the e-mail reached my mail server? 

A: Yes. In the Configure e-Mail menu of SpoolFlex there are both failed and sent e-mail logs. Only the Failed e-mail logs are enabled by default, but the sent logs can be easily turned on in the Configure e-Mail menu.

Q: Is it possible to send an HTML formatted e-mail from SpoolFlex? 

A: Yes. You can use SFAEML or SFACPYEML commands with MSGFMT parm set to *HTML.

Nightly Backups
We continuously hear from companies that are not backing up their SpoolFlex / FormFlex / ReportFlex / MessageFlex data. Every company should have procedures in place to back up all of their data on a daily basis. PLEASE make sure you have a daily backup procedure as well. Your daily backup should include the following:

  • Save library DRVSFLEX (using SAVLIB command)
  • Save IFS directory /DRV (using SAV command)
  • Backup any other directories (IFS or file server) you are using to store documents created by our software

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our support team at support@drvtech.com.

Upgrading Your System or Moving to a New Box
If you are upgrading your system or moving to a new box and need to transfer your software license, please e-mail or call DRV Customer Support two weeks in advance at (678) 417-1521 to request a license transfer agreement.

As long as you have an active maintenance agreement, there is no charge to transfer your license but you must complete and fax back a signed license transfer agreement which states that you are transferring your software license to another box and will remove the software from the original box within 30 days. If you need to run the software in parallel testing on both boxes for a longer period, DRV offers software rental licensing.
