The transfer of data pertaining to items 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.
The Sterling Warehouse Management System provides an out-of-the-box YNW_ItemDataExporter_91 service to upload data pertaining to items into a shared folder, as shown in the following image.
VLP has provided an out-of-the-box VLP_PRODUCT_LOAD event in order to import data pertaining to the items from the common file. This inbound asynchronous event is also referred to as Import Product. This event is used to read the XML files uploaded to the common folder by the YNW_ ItemDataExporter_version service.
As part of the integration, the VLP_PRODUCT_LOAD event is associated to the SterlingWMS_VLPProductLoad transport on the VLP side. This transport is of the Sterling Local XML Reader transport type.
The following figure shows the SterlingWMS_VLPProductLoad transport associated to the VLP_PRODUCT_LOAD event.
