Introduction

This document describes the new configurations for containers in Generic Attribute Maintenance, Notification and Escalation, and Multi-Level Configuration Maintenance Portlet using Roboship. 

This enhancement increases the use of Roboship in order to reduce the time spent in the shipping area. Roboship is an ERP program that receives the exported files from MES and loads them in ERP.

The next sections provide details on the new configurations:    

 

Roboship - Generic Attribute Maintenance 

See below the Attributes and its configuration for Roboship:  

CTR Export XML Enable 

The CTR Export XML Enable was created to control whether containers can be exported using a Dat File or an XML File.

In other words from the actual FPT transfer to using web services between Oracle and 42Q.  

• Attribute Name: ctr_export_xml_enabled 
• Table: project
• If ctr_export_xml_enabled = false

If the Value in Generic Attribute Maintenance is set as True,  the new feature creates an XML file to send via web services to the ERP, as well an email can be sent to the users (If notification & escalations setups are done for this).

If the Value in Generic Attribute Maintenance is set as False it will use the Dat File (old approach) and information will be sent to the FTP server, as it usually does.

Figure 1: CTR Export XML Enable: Value True

 

 

Note: The default information in the Value will always be False, this has to be configured to True by the MES Support team by plant demand.

Figure 2: CTR Export XML Enable False

 

Export Container Rule ID 

Export Container Rule ID is a configuration in Generic Attribute Maintenance. It allows the user to configure the rule to send the email to the users and configure the email distribution list.

An email will be sent after the Oracle response from the ctr_export_xml_enabled, so another generic attribute will be created to set up the Rule ID.

Attribute: Export_Container_Rule_ID

Table: project

Default Value: N / A. The value for this attribute can be any value because it is the user's choice of which name will be used for his rule.

Module: Notification & Escalation. 

Description: it is the rule id that was configured in the notification escalation. 

Functionality: it is the rule that will be used to send the email with the oracle response.

Note: Once the task process is completed, the system will send a status email to the configured recipient. The month indicates if the user uses the new XML template or the Dat File was sent to the FTP server.}

 

Please refer to the Generic Attribute Maintenance for more information.   The section below provides details on the configurations inside Notification and Escalation:

 

Roboship  - Notification & Escalation 

  In the Notification and Escalation, the user is able to configure the email ( who will receive the email, subject, and email body template) for the exported container.   Note: The plant needs to configure their emails to receive the XML file, or Fail the message once it is done. The email is sent either way;  succeed or fail for this process.   Figure 4: Notification and Escalation Email Configuration
