Communication between FOCALpt and the Autoline system is handled by a dedicated FOCALpt daemon. Messages are exchanged using a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) style interface, and data is XML encoded. The DMS FOCALpt daemon waits for a request and responds accordingly. The messages exchanged are:
SearchCustDetails: FOCALpt>DMS
ReturnCustDetails: DMS>FOCALpt
SetCustDetails: FOCALpt>DMS
ReturnCustUpdateStatus: DMS>FOCALpt
SendVehOrder: FOCALpt>DMS
ReturnVehOrderStatus: DMS>FOCALpt
Fault: DMS>FOCALpt
You can see the current status of the daemon, either start or stop the daemon and view the daily log file.
This form is displayed when you select the FOCALpt daemon option from the FocalPt menu.
RADIO BUTTONS:

PUSH BUTTONS:
