Methods and systems for monitoring enterprise file currency
Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring enterprise file currency. The disclosed systems and methods may include creating a currency check and notification configuration. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include executing a currency check based on the currency check and notification configuration and reporting the results of the currency check.
1 . A method for monitoring enterprise file currency, the method comprising:
creating a currency check and notification configuration;
executing a currency check based on the currency check and notification configuration; and
reporting the results of the currency check.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the currency check and notification configuration further comprises creating a configuration database that includes mail server settings through which notifications are routed.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the currency check and notification configuration further comprises creating a configuration database that includes a distribution list indicating where notifications are sent.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the currency check and notification configuration further comprises creating a configuration database that includes a list of folders, files, or databases to check.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the currency check and notification configuration further comprises creating a configuration database that includes a list of folders, files, or databases to check, the list including at least one of: i) an entry name; ii) a folder, file, or database name; iii) a string name to connect to a folder, file, or database; iv) a table name; v) a column name of a column containing a date field that is to be checked; vi) a duration value comprising the required currency of a latest date in the column; vii) an error message to be sent when the currency fails; viii) a filter column comprising a column name on which a filter is to be applied; and ix) a filter value comprise a value to check for in the filter column.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein executing the currency check based on the currency check and notification configuration further comprises executing the currency check periodically.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein reporting the results of the currency check further comprises reporting at least one of: i) a folder was found, and a file was found but none matched a currency criteria; ii) the folder was found, but no file was found that matched a file parameters set up; and iii) the folder itself is invalid.
8 . A system for monitoring enterprise file currency, the system comprising:
a memory storage for maintaining a database; and
a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
create a currency check and notification configuration;
execute a currency check based on the currency check and notification configuration; and
report the results of the currency check.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing unit being operative to create the currency check and notification configuration further comprises the processing unit being operative to create a configuration database that includes mail server settings through which notifications are routed.
10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing unit being operative to create the currency check and notification configuration further comprises the processing unit being operative to create a configuration database that includes a distribution list indicating where notifications are sent.
11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing unit being operative to create the currency check and notification configuration further comprises the processing unit being operative to create a configuration database that includes a list of folders, files, or databases to check.
12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing unit being operative to create the currency check and notification configuration further comprises the processing unit being operative to create a configuration database that includes a list of folders, files, or databases to check, the list including at least one of: i) an entry name; ii) a folder, file, or database name; iii) a string name to connect to a folder, file, or database; iv) a table name; v) a column name of a column containing a date field that is to be checked; vi) a duration value comprising the required currency of a latest date in the column; vii) an error message to be sent when the currency fails; viii) a filter column comprising a column name on which a filter is to be applied; and ix) a filter value comprise a value to check for in the filter column.
13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing unit being operative to report the results of the currency check further comprises the processing unit being operative to report at least one of: i) a folder was found, and a file was found but none matched a currency criteria; ii) the folder was found, but no file was found that matched a file parameters set up; and iii) the folder itself is invalid.
14 . A computer-readable medium which stores a set of instructions which when executed performs a method for monitoring enterprise file currency, the method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
creating a currency check and notification configuration;
executing a currency check based on the currency check and notification configuration; and
reporting the results of the currency check.
15 . The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein creating the currency check and notification configuration further comprises creating a configuration database that includes mail server settings through which notifications are routed.
16 . The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein creating the currency check and notification configuration further comprises creating a configuration database that includes a distribution list indicating where notifications are sent.
17 . The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein creating the currency check and notification configuration further comprises creating a configuration database that includes a list of folders, files, or databases to check.
18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein creating the currency check and notification configuration further comprises creating a configuration database that includes a list of folders, files, or databases to check, the list including at least one of: i) an entry name; ii) a folder, file, or database name; iii) a string name to connect to a folder, file, or database; iv) a table name; v) a column name of a column containing a date field that is to be checked; vi) a duration value comprising the required currency of a latest date in the column; vii) an error message to be sent when the currency fails; viii) a filter column comprising a column name on which a filter is to be applied; and ix) a filter value comprise a value to check for in the filter column.
19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein executing the currency check based on the currency check and notification configuration further comprises executing the currency check periodically.
20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein reporting the results of the currency check further comprises reporting at least one of: i) a folder was found, and a file was found but none matched a currency criteria; ii) the folder was found, but no file was found that matched a file parameters set up; and iii) the folder itself is invalid.
