Projects

Projects Projects are used to describe the work for GoAnywhere to perform.  A Project is made up of one or more business processes (Tasks).  For instance, a Project may include a Task to retrieve data from a database server, a second Task to convert the data into an Excel document, a third task to encrypt the document, and finally a Task to distribute the encrypted document to a FTP server.  There are no limits to the number of Tasks that can be performed within a single Project.
 
A graphical wizard is included in GoAnwhere to allow authorized users to quickly define Projects and the Tasks to perform within those Projects.  The Project definitions are stored in a central database, which can be viewed and executed by authorized users and applications. 
 
Listed below is a sample Project which retrieves data from a database file, converts the data into an Excel document, Zips the document and transmits it to a FTP server:

Projects are organized under user-defined folders.  Each folder can have specific permissions to control which users can view and/or execute the Projects within that folder.
