The Architecture of PollView eXpress: |
An in-depth look at the features that makes PollView eXpress the most flexible and powerful data transport solution available.
A Centralized Database. PollView eXpress allows you to store all the information needed to communicate with remote sites in one central location. Users can perform group-oriented operations such as task list updating, post processing, and reporting on a group basis. These features help reduce administrative costs for large-scale operations managing hundreds or thousands of remote systems. Powerful, Flexible Session Options. The power of PollView eXpress is in its ability to easily define complex schedules and tasks to meet your data transport needs. PollView offers each site multiple defined sessions. A session defines scheduled communication windows and a list of tasks to be executed, along with site priorities. One or more lists of tasks may be assigned to occur in any given session. The schedule may specify days of the week, specific dates, time of day, and intervals. Schedule any combination of the following tasks:
Group tasks to meet your needs. Tasks can be schedule and/or event driven. Tasks can be set to run just once whether successful or unsuccessful or to run until complete. Alternate tasks can be defined based on the success or failure of previous tasks. Apply branch logic to your sessions to suit your needs. And creating and changing task lists and sessions is easy. |
Ideal for Your Environment, Now, and into the Future. PollView eXpress is designed to work within your existing network. With a wide range of platforms and protocols supported, PollView eXpress maximizes your investment for future network growth. PollView eXpress:
Money Saving Speed and Performance. PollView file transfer technology is rich in features that ensure fast, guaranteed, error-free transmissions. When combined with MLINK target software¹:
|
Automatic Error Recovery. Since PollView eXpress is designed to run in unattended mode, it has built-in error detection, intelligent error recovery, and detailed session reporting. PollView eXpress detects all errors that occur during a session and takes the intelligent steps to recover whenever possible. For example, PollView eXpress interprets and reports error codes returned by most auto-dial modems. Rest Easy with Automatic Retries. When a connection to a remote system is unavailable, or when communication problems interrupt a session, PollView eXpress automatically attempts to reconnect for a user-defined number of times. Delays may be used to allow the remote system to reset or give priority to sites not contacted. Unnecessary retransmissions are avoided by skipping files already transferred. |
Manage Statistics, Reports, and Audit Trails. PollView eXpress provides comprehensive statistics, status reports, and audit trails to assist you in monitoring distribution activity and trouble shooting. Reports may be generated automatically to show the number of sites completed, sites requiring retries, and failed sites. Status reports may be displayed or printed for selected sites, groups of sites, or all sites. Exception reports may be selected for failed sites. Scalable to the Size of Your Enterprise. Available on Windows NT,Windows 2000 and Windows XP professional, PollView eXpress communicates with up to 50 sites through its ability to operate multiple concurrent ports. PollView eXpress dynamically assigns tasks to all available ports, and gives the operator full control over port configuration at all times. Upgrade available to PollView Advanced for organizations with hundres, thousands or tens of thousands of sites. Real-time Display Of Activity. A port monitor screen provides real-time display of activity on each communications port, and comprehensive session tracing can be enabled for troubleshooting sites. All status, audit trail, and tracing information is automatically archived for future analysis. A configurable archive cycle controls the volume of information stored online.
Security. Security or authorization levels provide a way to assign different roles to users of the PollView interfaces, including PollView Explorer. Primarily this is intended to prevent accidental destruction of database items by inexperienced persons. Predefined roles such as Administrator and Viewer are already set and they can be copied to create new roles. Each role has a set of rights that can be assigned to control accessibility of database operations, database table updates, reporting, and other administrative functions.

For even the most demanding solutions PollView eXpress has a rich feature set and flexible configuration options serves most organizations needs right out of the box. For those seeking to extend functionality by tightly integrating PollView eXpress with in-house or third party applications, PollView eXpress has a script language, command line interface and programmers' API provide the tools to accomplish the most challenging tasks. Powerful Update Facilities. PollView eXpress provides a variety of approaches for easy database maintenance. By using default records, including group defaults, you can modify site definitions quickly and easily. Powerful update facilities make it easy to change task lists even for a network of thousands of sites. PollView eXpress can even be driven by your host applications to automatically update your site database. Macros allow you to automatically embed site numbers and dates in file names to be transferred. Distribution lists provide powerful grouping capabilities to organize your workload across your enterprise. |
