The History of Opalis Software
Opalis Software has its roots in France, where the first Opalis Robot automation utility was created in 1995 by a network administrator frustrated with the lack of automation capabilities for performing his day-to-day duties on Windows NT Server 3.5. The idea was then considerably ahead of its time. Even in its earliest versions, the product was more than a job scheduler, as Opalis Robot was capable of monitoring for certain conditions (file system, SQL query results, calendar) and triggering actions (run a program, file manage-ment, Service interaction, SQL query) in response to these conditions.
Rendezvous with Destiny
As the Windows NT market matured, Opalis Software continued to add capabilities to Opalis Robot while also creating a new line of products dedicated to managed file-transfer. Opalis RendezVous. Opalis RendezVous had a simple graphical user interface (GUI), and made the tasks of transferring files to or from a FTP site, file shares, or databases extremely easy. Similar to Opalis Robot, Opalis RendezVous was extremely resilient and maintenance-free. There are still instances of Opalis RendezVous running today, although the code hasn’t been updated in over a decade. Figure 1.3 shows the Opalis RendezVous interface.
