Glossary
SMADDI (SMA Dynamic Data Input): An optional OpCon component that dynamically updates the OpCon database using XML text files placed in monitored input directories. SMADDI uses a Windows service and stored procedures to validate and commit the data.
Enterprise Manager (EM): OpCon's rich client graphical user interface for Windows and Linux, used to define schedules and jobs, manage automation data, and perform operational tasks.
Resource: A numeric variable in OpCon representing a finite pool. Jobs can be configured to require a set number of resource units to run, limiting concurrent executions and preventing resource contention.
Schedule: A named container for jobs in OpCon, built for a specific date to create that day's automation. Schedules define build settings, frequencies, and the jobs that run within them.
