The following information applies only to import and export jobs for the Material Requirements Planning and Work Order modules.

Use this procedure to prepare import and export jobs for use. Jobs are not ready for use until they are compiled.

Expand/Collapse item  Before You Begin

  • This feature is available only with the appropriate security setup.

  • During the job import process, all information is maintained, including file names and data source names, with the exception of chain information. Chain information cannot be validated and, therefore, must be verified prior to running the job. Error checking is performed to ensure that you have the ODBC Data Source on your current machine and the Data Dictionary file is installed.

  • You cannot import a job designed to import information into a task if the module for that task is not installed. For example, you cannot import information into Payroll Data Entry if the Payroll module is not installed.

 

To compile a job

  1. Select Visual Integrator Main menu > Import Job Maintenance or Export Job Maintenance.

  2. In the Import Job Selection or Export Job Selection window, select the job and click Accept. For more information, see Import Job Selection - Fields or Export Job Selection - Fields.

  4. Click Accept.

Note If the appropriate security is set up, you can also compile a job by clicking the Compile button on the Configuration tab.
