This activity is used to set up a scheduled database task for transferring data to Planning and Scheduling Optimization (PSO). It is recommended to have two scheduled database tasks set up per dataset, one to transfer all data (Load) and another to transfer changes (Change). For each scheduled database task, there are specific parameters that need to be defined before the task can be executed as a background job. The scheduled database task for transferring data to PSO will have the following parameters:
Parameter | Description |
Dataset ID | The identity of the dataset that is to be sent to PSO using the scheduled database task. |
Input Type | The type of message which is to be sent. Valid values are Load, Change and Stop. Load messages will transfer all the data to PSO. Change messages will only transfer work task changes and reported absence. Stop will stop the Dataset from Scheduling. |
Send Timeline | This parameter is only valid if the Input Type has been set to Change. If selected, the current time will still be transferred even though no other changes exist. |
Transfer Method | The Transfer Method of the scheduling data. Valid values are Webservice or File. This parameter is optional. If left empty, the default value defined for Load Transfer Method and Change Transfer Method in Scheduling Configuration will be used. |
To perform this activity, the schedule method for sending data for scheduling must have been set up with the required security settings.
As a result of this activity, data will be transferred to the Dynamic Scheduling Engine (DSE) through background jobs at the specified time intervals.
