It would be nice if:
- AMTU sent a daily email that
a) let you know it had run for the last 24 hours
b) Told you what it did.
- How many reports it downloaded
- How many files it sent up.
- Counted files by type. i.e. shipping report, refund
report, inventory report, or xml based files of each type,
and downloads by orders-report.
Purpose: to reduce time required to identify a problem.
Expected difficulty: minor to moderate. Requires adding
a object with appropriate catalog of values. Requires
inserting increment code for each process during a day.
Requires clearing values once per day at a configurable
time. Requires sending an email. Requires that values
be written to a file to prevent data loss in the event of a
server restart or interruption.
Expected Value: Should help administrators keep track
of AMTU and ensure that it's running smoothly. Might
prevent angry customer related phone calls as a first
notification of AMTU related malfunctions.
