Load Automatic Data

Before you begin

After initial one-time data loading is performed for the configuration data, if changes are made to the Sterling Warehouse Management System configuration later, VoiceLogistics Pro (VLP) must import these changes to facilitate data synchronization. Data loading is thus an automatic and continuous process.

Note: Prior to loading data, ensure that all the services are configured as mentioned in the topic Configuring Data Upload and Import Services.

Perform the following steps to carry out continuous data loading:

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the integration server or servers associated with the Sterling Warehouse Management System data upload services are always running.
  2. Ensure that the readSterlingDataLoadFiles.bat file that is located under the <Voxware Install Folder>/vlp_core/voxconnect_build/bin/ directory is invoked by a scheduler regularly. This scheduler is, however, not provided out-of-the-box. This batch file invokes the following VLP Data Import events:
    • VLP_WAREHOUSE_LOAD
    • VLP_ZONE_LOAD
    • VLP_LOCATION_LOAD
    • VLP_EQUIPMENT_LOAD
    • VLP_REASON_LOAD
    • VLP_WORKTYPE_LOAD
    • VLP_PRODUCT_LOAD

      Notes:

    • Sterling Warehouse Management System provides only one batch file for all the events. However, it is recommended that the user create separate batch files for individual events. For more information about how to run data import events, refer to the VLP Bookshelf Guide.
    • The user must manually verify the log files to keep track of data load failures, if any.
