Process flow

1/ DSR110 manifest # allocation:

  • Finds completed transactions for selected carrier/whs that don’t already have a manifest number.
  • Assigns manifest number (TAMNFN) to these transactions.
  • Con-note (TAPODR) already assigned at dispatch confirmation time (when transaction completed).
  • Writes to DSR110W1 temporary work file
  • Prints con-notes if selected to do so.
  • Calls EDR615A to create download data (see next step).

2/ EDR615A create download:

  • These programs read DSR110W1 temporary work file
  • They use this data to print manifest document and create download information according to specific carrier specifications into EDCNN00P con-note file which has flat file format.
  • Star track program is EDR645. It writes data into EDCNN00P with “STAR” in position 397 of each record.

3/ EDO110 Manifest data download:

  • Checks if any data to send in EDCNN00P.
  • Calls various EDO110x programs for each carrier. These programs take data from EDCNN00P for the particular carrier and write to specific work file.

  • These programs then call EDO110E with TPID parameter (e.g. “STAR” or “VEXP”) to determine FTP, log file and archiving folder variables to be used for this carrier.
    • EDO110E looks up EDSAN00P trading partner id file to get FTP script member details and IP address if access method is FTP.
    • EDO110E looks up TMSDS/EDI-CONM to get IFS folder names for pickup and archive of carrier manifest files.
    • In 7.4 release, uses TMSDS/EDI-FTP for the pickup folder name instead of EDI-CONM (in line with other EDI documents)
    • EDO110E looks up TMSDS/EDI-FLOG to determine member to hold last ftp transmission log information.
  • The EDO110x carrier program then copies the work file to nominated IFS folder/filename, calls EDO110B to send the data via FTP, then calls EDO110D to copy data to nominated archive folder.
    • Note that EDO110B also calls EDO110C to write FTP log information
  • EDO110A then clears EDCNN00P data.
