C Import Mass Data into Manufacturing Systems

Several interactive Manufacturing programs can run in batch mode and accept data from a Z file, allowing you to process mass amounts of data from an outside source easily and efficiently using existing programs to validate the data.

For example, you can use the ECO Work Order Entry - Z File program (P48020Z) to run ECO Work Order Entry (P48020) in batch mode and accept data from the ECO Work Order Entry - Z File (F48020Z).

You can process any number of records to add, change, or delete. You also have the advantage of:

• Data selection to limit the records you want to process.

• Processing options that allow you to choose the version of the interactive program to process the records.

• Error report printing.

Generally, the DREAM Writer program number corresponds to the screen and program number with a Z appended to the end. For example, P48020Z corresponds to the ECO Work Order Entry program (P48020).

See:

• Import Using Z File Processing in the JD Edwards World Technical Tools Guide for detailed information about Z file processing.

• Overview to Import/Export in the JD Edwards World Technical Tools Guide for information about importing data into the system.

The following table includes the Manufacturing Z file processing programs.

From Manufacturing Z File Processes (G3001Z), choose an option

Technical Considerations

You can only add data using the Routing Master Revisions - Z File program (P3003Z). You cannot use this program to change or delete data.

Processing Options

See the appropriate set of Z file processing options in Chapter 20, "Z File Processing Options".

Data Selection

Do not change the existing data selection. The Processed Y/N field is set to NE Y. This prevents the program from processing records more than once.

You can add additional selections to limit the data.

Data Sequence

Do not change the data sequence.
