ASCI's File System Event Provider for WMI

Home \ Software Products \ ASCI File System Event Provider for WMI(Overview)

Overview: ASCI's File System Event Provider for WMI:

The "ASCI File System Event Provider for WMI" is a FREE utility, developed by Advanced System Concepts, that provides event notification capabilities for the Windows 2000/NT File System and is to be used in conjunction with Microsoft's Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) system.

The "ASCI File System Event Provider for WMI" can detect the creation, and/or the updating of any file within a Windows 2000/NT environment for the purpose of triggering events within user applications and utilities. With the introduction of this capability for Windows systems, applications can now be "notified" that a required file has been created, copied, modified or FTP'd into a specified directory or onto a specific system. The "ASCI File System Event Provider for WMI" provides a powerful alternative to other methodologies such as "polling" which checks, on a schedule, to see when the required file has arrived. The "polling" approach consumes systems resources and can detract from overall system performance.
Using The "ASCI File System Event Provider for WMI" a user could simply specify the file or directory and a WMI event would be declared when the file is created (and populated). Or when used in combination with a job scheduling system (e.g. ActiveBatch) the creation of a file within a specified directory can initiate a job or process.

The "ASCI File System Event Provider for WMI" requires a Windows 2000/NT system on which WMI has been installed. WMI is installed as part of Windows 2000 and is available free- of-charge as a separate installation for Windows NT Version 4.

The "ASCI File System Event Provider for WMI" is provided by Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc. "as is" and may be copied and installed on as many systems as you require free of charge or royalty.
