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
- Ensure that
the integration server or servers associated
with the Sterling Warehouse Management System data
upload services are always running.
- 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.
