To streamline workflow and lower administrative overheads, Attachmate has released its Extra!Personal Client version 6.4 - offering a PC to AS/400 access management solution which increases user productivity and network resource availability.

Paul Cripsey, country manager at Attachmate SA, says the product allows tasks such as file transfers to run after hours, maximising network efficiency during peak usage.

"Administrators can manage their AS/400 systems remotely and submit non-interactive commands to automate recurring tasks," he adds.

The open database connectivity (ODBC) standard is fully supported in both 16- and 32-bit platforms and provides users with the same ability to view and update data on their databases, regardless of which Windows operating system they use.

Extra!Personal Client also enables operators to create database queries and exchange data from their host databases to Windows applications such as Excel or Visual Basic.

The 32-bit router allows access to midrange hosts and supports shared folders, enabling Windows 95 desktops easy access to files via a browser or network.
