Products/Tools

The ADS LogManager Product Family currently consists of the following products/tools:

• ADS LogManager: The core product to integrate a server-side logging/auditing mechanism in your Advantage database. ADS LogManager logs data changes in the database for different data manipulation operations (Delete/Insert/Update) on user-definable database objects (tables, columns). A point-and-click interface enables you to define easily, which database objects should be logged. If you are interested in logging a history of price changes in a table ARTICLE, just define it with one mouse-click and relax.

• ADSLMViewer: Same code base as ADS LogManager, but without the capability to change the logging schema. Useful for people who should be able to browse, export and print log data, but without the permission to change the logging schema. ADS LogManager Viewer isn't needed if you have ADS LogManager, because ADS LogManager has the entire Viewer stuff built-in.

• ADSLMExport: A command-line utility to export logged data into different file formats (e.g. Excel, Winword, HTML, XML, …). You can schedule the export process by using any task scheduling facility like 'AT' under Windows NT/2000/XP. More...
