registered PowerSwitch user is entitled to use SwitchScripter.
4.4 SwitchClient
SwitchClient is a light-weight desktop application in the Switch product family that allows a user
on a different computer to submit and monitor jobs processed by PowerSwitch and FullSwitch
on a central server. Since it usually runs on a different computer, SwitchClient has its own installer
and has to be downloaded separately.
SwitchClient supports the following tasks:
• Connect with one or more PowerSwitch / Full Switch servers on the local network
• Submit jobs (files or job folders) to a Submit point in a flow
• Review and act on jobs being held in a Checkpoint in a flow
• View progress information and status for submitted jobs.
• View log messages issued by processes on the server.
For more information about the SwitchClient application, see Working with SwitchClient on page
143.

Benefits offered by SwitchClient include:
• Submit and review jobs without the need for shared network folders.
