Equipment Data Load Service

The transfer of data pertaining to equipments from the Sterling Warehouse Management System to VLP is accomplished by two services - one on the Sterling Warehouse Management System side, and the other on VLP side.

Sterling Warehouse Management System Data Upload Service

The Sterling Warehouse Management System provides an out-of-the-box YNW_EquipmentDataExporter_91 service to upload data pertaining to equipments into a shared folder, as shown in the following image.

VLP Event

VLP has provided an out-of-the-box VLP_EQUIPMENT_LOAD event in order to import data pertaining to equipments from the common file. This inbound asynchronous event is also referred to as Import Equipment. This event is used to read the XML files uploaded to the common folder by the YNW_ EquipmentDataExporter_91 service.

As part of the integration, the VLP_EQUIPMENT_LOAD event is associated to the SterlingWMS_VLPEquipmentLoad transport on the VLP side. This transport is of the Sterling Local XML Reader transport type. The following figure shows the SterlingWMS_VLPEquipmentLoad transport associated to the VLP_EQUIPMENT_LOAD event.
