QuotAlert is an FCAS application for alerting people when they have reached a specified threshold. You can schedule alerts to go out whenever you choose, or force polling manually.Installing QuotAlert
If you are installing on a server that has a single FCAS cluster named FCAS, the installation is straight forward. If you have a different cluster name, see the section below at the end of this message. Unzip the attached archive and and place the contents in the \FCNS\Server\Batch folder of your FirstClass Server then log in as the Admin, open the Core Services folder and the Server Control application then click on Batch Folder.
This will add the RAD applications as described below and will create a conference called QuotAlert inside your FirstClass Applications folder.
Restart FCAS
All instructions for using the application are in that conference.
Note: Do not remove the QuotAlert conference from the FirstClass Applications folder. You can create an alias and work from an alias if you want to subscribe it to your desktop or to another account.
The QuotAlert Applications installed
quotalert.fcx - the full QuotAlert application
registration.fcx - This is the registration application that lets me know who has installed the application so that I can notify you when there are updates. If you are already running one of our applications that use the registration application, the installer will skip this part of the install
fcastimer.fcx - This is the timer application that will be used for QuotAlert and any future applications that I develop that use an FCAS calendar application for scheduling.
The installer will not load the three applications and it is not entirely clear to me at this point whether or not the fcastimer.fcx calendar application requires an FCAS restart or not. In any case, to be sure, and to load all three applications, the simplest thing for you to do after processing the Batch files to do the install is to restart your FCAS. This will load the applications for you.
What to do if your FCAS gateway is not named FCAS
If you have a different cluster for FCAS and the gateway is named differently (like FCAS 1001), you must edit the install script first before processing the batch script.
In the extracted files, locate and open QuotAlertInstall.ba in your favourite text editor.
In section Two, look for the section that installs the QuotAlert Setup Application and replace the FCAS in red below with the name of your FCAS gateway.
