Wiki: XTWD

EXTRACT WORK DIVISIONS#

Processing Information#

The XTWD will extract the following information from an Wiki database:

Premiums
Shifts
Shift Patterns
Cost Centers
Change Reasons
Time Codes
Holiday Calendars
Work Divisions

Data that is not extracted would be work areas, locations, work stations.

Before the XTWD can be run there are site preferences that must be defined. Within the IMST screen, the administrator must define where the Extract and Load files are located and where the load functions are to write the exception files to. These locations are used by the functions to create and retrieve information. The customer can modify these values to represent any directory on their system.

The extract directory is defined using the EXTRCT DATA FLDR preference. The load directory is defined using the LOAD DATA FLDR preference. The ATTACHMENTS FLDR must be specified so the load functions know where to write the report exceptions log to.

Once the XTWD function has been run, it will have created an .xml and .data file, it is suggested that the user reviews the .xml file to ensure the correct data was extracted.

The user will then load the .data file into the receiving database via the LMDATA process.
