Function
•
Centralized version control maintains accurate records of
which software version is in use, when changes were made
and who made the changes.
•
A designated number of previous program copies is retained.
When a change is made, a new current copy is saved and the
oldest copy is marked for later deletion.
•
On-demand rapid recovery of failed devices is provided with
access to each one’s master copies and other revisions.
•
Communication parameters are stored on the server for quick
retrieval of the correct program.
•
The system can be set to periodically check for differences
between the device and the current copy of a program stored
in AutoSave. If the versions are different, comparison reports
detailing the difference(s) is e-mailed to designated users.
•
Only authorized users are able to access programs and make
changes. Access is controlled by logins and passwords,
which authenticate privileges according to the user’s group
(e.g., maintenance, engineering).
•
AutoSave utilizes module extensions to the server that interact
directly and uniquely with each 3rd party programming appli-
cation. This provides a superior level of change control to
other products on the market without the need to edit scripts
with each new release of 3rd party software.
