New From the Lab

Current version 4.4.8 released on June 30, 2009
Enhancement List See what is new in the latest version!
Update Instructions Follow these instructions to upgrade SpoolFlex/FormFlex software

New Product - DataFlex
There have been some issues delaying this product; however, the developers are working on it. Thank you for your patience.

New Product - MessageFlex
MessageFlex, once finalized, will monitor a message queue and perform various types of notifications when certain messages are encountered. For example: the nightly backup job encounters an error at 2 AM. MessageFlex will send a notification (text message, e-mail, etc.) to a chosen receiver who, in turn, can get the problem fixed, thus minimizing system down time. We are looking for some customers to work with us to make sure we incorporate everything you are looking for. If you would like to give us some feedback on features and functionality and/or would like to be involved in BETA testing this product please contact us at development@drvtech.com.

Answers to your Questions

  • I am creating a form definition using FormFlex. Can I create a multi part form? How do I set it up to be a multi part form?
    Yes. FormFlex allows you to create a multi part form. In the FormFlex design forms menu, use option 13 to edit the Form Header. You can specify the number of copies in the “Copies” field under “New Spooled File Output” section.
     
  • How can I print out definitions that have been created in SpoolFlex?
    You can query: SFRDS file to get a list of report distributions, SFOUT file for the output definitions, and SFSNTH file for the spool sentry definitions.
