Timed Operations

In timed operations it is advisable to place all receiving programs (like COMPARTS load CLI order proposal) after the communication program. The receiving programs delete received files after they have processed them.

Using the same philosophy it is advisable to place sending programs (like COMPARTS send CPS file) before the transmission program in timed operations.

It is possible to run the transmission program during the day, for example every few minutes, but with receiving files it's advisable to use the try before and try after fields. Otherwise the program will try to fetch the files on every execution, which would be rather expensive using dail-up lines.

To put the Communication program in the End of Day routine, you must:

• Select the System Utilities option from the Main menu.
• Select from the System Utilities menu the Timed Operations option.
• Select the Configure Schedule option from the Timed Operations menu.
• The Times Operations Schedule screen is opened.
• Select from the Module for available options the MS module.
• In the grid below all available programs in the MS module are displayed.
• Select the MSMBCOM program from the list and select the Add button.
• Complete the request by e.g. selecting the correct company, frequency and time and select the OK button. The Communication program will run on the times and days you have set it up in the End of Day routine.
