Custom History (Enterprise Edition)

SmartBatch provides a way for the Executive Server to call into a .NET assembly on the start, stop or error event. This capability can be used for various reasons including the ability to send information to environments such as Computer Associates' Unicenter, HP's OpenView, IBM's Tivoli and other network management products. This .NET Assembly (OnLineToolWorks.SmartBatch.Facade.dll) can be used by a programmer in your organization that has knowledge of how to implement an interface in .NET. Other extension processing can be implemented with this capability, but the programmer must be sure that the processing is short in nature. Example source code for using the programmatic interface is provided with SmartBatch and the functionality is available in the Enterprise Edition of the product.

By default, the custom history capability writes information to a file called CustomHistory.Log. An example C#  project is installed with SmartBatch. It exists in a directory called Samples under the SmartBatch directory. This project can be modified by an experienced .NET programmer.
