You need to run this update only if you use tickler miles or hours on equipment messages. You run the Update Message Log program to update the tickler units in the Message Log. For example, if you set up a reminder message to display at 3,000 miles for a piece of equipment, you use this update to ensure that the message displays when the equipment reaches the 3,000 mile mark.
Update Message Log compares tickler dates with the system date and tickler units (for example, miles or hours) to the current unit reading that you record for the corresponding piece of equipment. The program updates all units that reach or exceed the tickler amounts that you post in the AT00 automatic accounting instruction. When the system completes the update it highlights the corresponding equipment number and description on Equipment Search to indicate that a message exists for the equipment.
When you select Update Message Log, the system submits the job directly to batch. You should update the message log frequently to keep message tickler units current. JD Edwards World recommends running Update Message Log as part of your unattended operations.
