Automatically distribute IBM i spool files: new release of Catapult

Catapult process

If you are looking to automatically distribute IBM i spool files and PC reports reliably in multiple formats (including PDF and HTML), then Catapult is the tool for you.

BCD Software, now Fresche Solutions, has released Catapult 7.10.0, which features a further improvement to how the Poller and Exodus51 subsystem work together. This enables you to schedule the poller to start sooner after an IPL.

Also included in this latest release is:

  • Additional poller information is now included in administrator emails. Email notifications also include poller information
  • Poller configuration will now correctly update when changes are made while it is active
  • A fix for a problem where invalid characters in a file path might cause the console to issue an unhandled exception error
  • An option to notify a specific person when a rule fails.

Version 7.10.0 can be downloaded from the US version of the website or from myFrescheSolutions.

BCD Software are recommending that users of Catapult 7.72 or older should be making plans to upgrade as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, or require further information about upgrading Catapult or its new features, please contact us.
