Automating Processes Using TCL/ECL Using the Scheduler
TCL/ECL U2 only Executes database commands • Query statements • Paragraphs • BASIC programs • OS Scripts Matt Rees, Entrinsik
Automating Letter Generation Past due notices Previously required user interaction Eliminated the need for user interaction Automatically generated based on the schedule
Compound Condition using the “At least one of…” as a condition selector
In the first section of the compound condition, we entered a TCL command to remove all entries from the previous run
In the second section, we entered another Compound Condition, this time using the “All of…” as a condition selector.
This is the criteria used to obtain our list of overdue clients.
Execute a series of TCL commands. • The third statement takes the records selected by Informer and sends them to SEMtek process LETTER.PRINT.AUTO using the STATEMENT parameter. • Here our letters are generated.
Results The Informer report shows the clients which had a statement generated. The actual statement was generated from within SEMtek We plan to offer this feature to our SEMtek clients in the near future. We also have ideas that can simplify this even more. * Actual figures used come from test database
Next Phase Automatically email letters Eliminate human intervention Free up valuable internal resources.
