Helix Maintenance Manager 1.0.5 brings users a very convenient tool which automates the process of managing your Helix Databases (Collections) Making backups, running the Helix Utility and Update Collection, notifying you of problems (or success) and relaunching your database, all from within a single application.

The Helix Maintenance Manager (HMM) was designed by Ryan Wilcox and Jared Barden based upon Lenny Eiger's Database Chequer, picking up where Database Chequer left off. Whether you work on one Helix collection or many, the Helix Maintenance Manager will put your mind at rest. HMM lets you create a separate QA script for each collection managed by Helix Maintenance Manager, and each can have its own activity log, telling you when your tests were run, what was found, what actions were taken and whether or not the result was successful.
HMM comes with the ability to run both built-in and externally-supplied scripts. One particularly useful script connects to your email and sends you a message with the results of utility run. Got a script that will call your pager? HMM can use it to give you the good news (or bad news) in plenty of time to avoid a catastrophe! HMM is the OS X solution for coordinating and managing all your Helix diagnostic and backup needs.

In HMM, you create maintenance plans, one for each Helix collection you will be managing. These plans cover how you will back up, what tests will run in what order and what errors will or won't be corrected, what will be recorded in the maintenance log, whether or not you will receive additional notification, what steps to take if diagnostics fail, all at your discretion. Plans provide you options such as what script you might like to run before shutting down access to a server, how the tests are conducted and what to do after they run. You can keep things simple or build in a tremendous amount of additional functionality. It's all in the Plan.

There's a 100-plus page guide that comes with HMM, but don't let it scare you into thinking that HMM is hard to learn. If you run your Helix Utility and Update Collection often, you already understand something of what they do and why you should use them. HMM extends the power of those tools in a way you'll find is actually quite simple to use. Any "complexity," such as it is, comes from navigating your way all the things you can do with it.

At it's very simplest, you can create a Plan that will run HU and UC on a collection, just like you could do in they heyday of Database Chequer. If you manage more than one Helix collection, you can, of course, create hundreds of such Plans, one for each collection you'd like to manage.
In HMM's Plan setup window, you can select an option that will stop any running Helix applications on the machine where you'll be testing. You can further specify that the collection be relaunched after a successful utility run. You can even specify which backup to use in its place should the collection be deemed fatally damaged by either HU or UC. You can tell HMM to make a copy of the collection before running HU or UC. It can be told to make another backup of the collection after it successfully passes boht HU and UC.

That's already a whole lot more control than you've ever had of this process. Now, tell it when you'd like all this to happen. What time? What day? Which days? What times? In fact, wouldn't it be cool to just open your favorite calendar program and lay out a schedule in as much detail as you need and then somehow hook it up to HMM?

With HMM's helper application, HMM Scheduler, HMM can "watch" your calendar and perform backups and diagnostic runs when scheduled. This way, you can modify the schedule from any calendar that can link to yours without even opening HMM.
