Command Appendix Registry

The commands defined within the Conduit Command Registry represent the core functionality of the Conduit system. Unlike with legacy systems, Conduit commands are full words, generally Pascal case (though technically command names are case insensitive.)

In addition to the more extensive names, Conduit Commands tend to be more focused toward a single concept. Most Conduit commands expect all of their data to be provided up front, leaving the work of gathering that data to the various client implementations in conjunction with the CCRS.

The commands referencing Assembly or Defined components and attribute respectively are designed for use with the Scanning Template mechanism in Conduit. The basic concept is that the actual command to use (tracked, unique, nontracked, etc.) will be provided by Conduit. Individual clients only need to prompt for the appropriate piece of data to satisfy the scan template then construct a Client Command from the Scan Template + user input.

The full list of commands and a short explanation of each are given below:

 

 

A

AddAttribute

Add Attribute does not have an equivalent in SFDC. It is effectively the equivalent of ADCMP2 but for an attribute. It allows adding an attribute for which a definition did not already exist.

AddAttributeTo

Adds an attribute to the specified unit serial number. This command will produce an error if the attribute already exists, no replacement will occur. Similar to ADCMP2 for non-tracked components in SFDC this command does not require an existing attribute definition

AddComment

Adds a comment checked against an optional mask to the scanned unit.  Add Comment is equivalent to ADCOMMENT in SFDC.

AddCommentTo

Adds a comment checked against an optional mask to the specified unit. Equivalent to ADCOMMENT in SFDC.

AddDefinedAttribute

Add Defined Attribute is equivalent to ATTADD in SFDC. Unlike SFDC it is designed to be used with the Conduit “Scanning Template” construct for units that have active / unreconciled Assembly / Attr_Def entries. AddMeasurementKey Add Measurement Key is equivalent to MEASKEY in SFDC.

AddMeasurementKey

Adds a measurement key to the scanned unit. Equivalent to MEASKEY in SFDC.

AddMeasurementKeyTo

Adds a measurement key to the specified unit. Equivalent to MEASKEY in SFDC.

AddNontrackedAssemblyComponent

Add Nontracked Assembly Component is a “Scanning Template” specific command for adding a non-tracked component based on an unreconciled assembly record for a unit. It is equivalent to ADCMP

AddNontrackedComponent

AddNontrackedComponent is very similar to ADCMP2 command in SFDC, in that an assembly record is not used. It adds the component and only updates the old component record from 'removed' to 'replaced' if it finds a removed nontracked component with the same ref_designator on the serial.

AddNontrackedComponentTo

Adds a non-tracked component to the specified unit. It is exactly the same as AddNonTrackedComponent, except that it does not require a scanned unit, only a serial number.

Warning: Using either of these AddNontrackedComponent/To commands multiple times for a given serial and ref_designator can result in multiple active components with the same ref_designator. In order to remove and replace an existing component for a serial/ref_designator, so that only one is active, you must use the ReplaceNontrackedComponent/To the version of these commands. 

AddToLot

Adds the scanned unit serial number to the specified lot.

AddTrackedComponent

'A'ddTrackedComponent is very similar to ADCMP3 command in SFDC, in that an assembly record is not used. It adds the component and only updates the old component record from 'removed' to 'replaced' if it finds a removed tracked component with the same ref_designator on the serial.

AddTrackedComponentTo

Adds a tracked component to the specified unit. It is exactly the same as AddTrackedComponent, except that it does not require a scanned unit, only a serial number.

Warning: Using either of these AddTrackedComponent/To commands multiple times for a given serial and ref_designator can result in multiple active components with the same ref_designator. In order to remove and replace an existing component for a serial/ref_designator, so that only one is active, you must use theReplaceTrackedComponent/To the version of these commands. 

AddUniqueComponent

Adds a non-tracked component to the specified unit. Unlike Add Non-Tracked Component this does not require a scanned unit. This command will not replace an existing unremoved component with that component id but it will mark a previously removed component as replaced.

AddUniqueAssemblyComponent

Add Unique Assembly Component is the unique component version of the Scanning Template enabled ADCMP command in SFDC. AddUniqueComponent Add Unique Component has no corollary in SFDC today. It is designed to add a unique component without a predefined assembly record just like ADCMP2 (non-tracked) or ADCMP3 (tracked). AddUnitToContainer Add Unit To Container has no equivalent command in SFDC. SFDC Containerization essentially does the same thing via complicated mini-sessions executed after NEWCNTNR / OPENCNTNR.

AddUnitToContainer

Adds provided unit serial number to the scanned container serial.

AddUnitToLot

Add Unit To Lot has no equivalent command in SFDC. SFDC “Lotization” is handled via cumbersome sessions within NEWLOT / OPENLOT.

AdvancedShopOrderUnits

Ends up to <unit limit> units for the supplied shop order number at the provided workstation. Units are chosen in FIFO order for the specified workstation. This command can be executed without a transaction unit.

ApplyMeo

Apply Meo is equivalent to ADMEO.

 

AssignUnitsToNextShopOrder

Assign the specified set of unit serial numbers to the oldest eligible shop orders.

 

C

ChangePartNumber

Change Part Number is equivalent to CHGPN.

ChangeRevision

Change Revision is equivalent to CHGREV.

ChangeSerialNumber

Change Serial Number is equivalent to CHGID.

ClearMatchingAttributes

Clear Matching Attributes is designed to remove attributes that match a particular input. It is equivalent to CLRATT.L.

ClearNonmatchingAttributes

Clear Non-Matching Attributes is designed to remove attributes that do NOT match a particular input. It is equivalent to CLARATT.R.

CloseContainer

Close Container is equivalent to CLOSECNTNR.

CloseLot

Close Lot is equivalent to CLOSELOT.

ConsumeNonSerialized Batch

Consume non serialized batch consumes non serialized batches.

ConsumeSitBatch

Consume the specified quantity from the provided Sit Batch serial and add a non-tracked component matching the sit batch serial number to the scanned unit at the specified reference designator.

CreateBatchSerial

Creates a Batch Serial number with the provided serial number, batch quantity and shop order number. Can be executed in place of a transaction unit. Roughly equivalent to CRE8BSN in SFDC.

CreateContainer

Create Container creates a container serial number. Unlike NEWCNTNR it does not immediately initiate prompting for container units. It only creates a container.

CreateGeneratedBatchSerial

Creates a batch serial using the supplied quantity and shop order number. The actual batch serial number will be generated using provided algorithm. Can be executed in place of a transaction unit.

CreateLot

Create Lot creates a lot serial number. Unlike NEWLOT it does not initiate prompting for lot units. It only creates a lot.

CreateUnit

Create Unit is a command used to create a new unit.

D

DeallocateStationMaterial

Deallocate any material for the specified part number at the specified location or the scanning location.

E

END

End is effectively identical to END in SFDC.

F

FindActiveShopOrder

Identify the active shop order for the mfg line associated with the location.

FindClientStations

Finds client stations.

FindNextStationUnit 

Finds the oldest unit at a station matching an optional part number and shop order number. The most recent unit at a station can be returned if LIFO (Last in, First out) is specified for the final parameter. 

FindPrinters

Identify the printers currently available to the label engine.

FindUnitActivity

Attempts to find the unit activity for the provided serial number and optional part number.

FindUnitAttribute

Find an attribute matching the specified name for the scanned unit. By default not finding the attribute is an ERROR condition but that can be overridden via parameter

L

M

MergeBatchSerial

Merge the provided batch serial number into the scanned batch unit.

MOVE

Effectively identical to MOVE in SFDC.

O

OpenLot

Changes the status of a lot to Open. Does not initiate lot serial scanning like OPENLOT.

P

PrintDemoLabel

Print a demo label name for the currently scanned unit serial number to the specified print queue.

PrintLabel

Print HPE label.

Print Legacy Label

Prints MES labels.

R

ReconcileComponentMFGHolds
