Rate Shopping Interface

The Rate Shopping Interface (P49T15) program provides a standardized interface to the Oracle Transportation Management system for rate shopping integration. This interface shields the complexity of the rate shopping integration from the calling program and reduces the maintenance complexity of existing applications dependency upon ESUs.

This application contains all of the logic necessary to invoke the rate shopping integration to Oracle Transportation Management and return any errors that it may encounter. Errors include:

  • ERROR 49T228 "Error Occurred Creating the Rate Inquiry"

    An error occurred creating the rate inquiry. Please inspect the description in the error description grid on the P49T10 (Select Rate Inquiry Results) form, correct the problem, and take the rate inquiry exit again.

  • ERROR 49T230 "Rate Results Could Not Be Interpreted."

    The rate inquiry was successful, but there was a problem interpreting the results. Please inspect the description in the error description grid on the P49T10 (Select Rate Inquiry Results) form, correct the problem, and take the rate inquiry exit again.

  • ERROR 49T229 "No Rate Results were Found."

    The rate inquiry was successful, but no rate offerings were returned.

  • ERROR 49T234 "Rate Shopping Business Service Failure"

    The Rate Shopping Business Service has failed. Contact your system administrator to conduct the following tasks:

    1. Verify that the business services server is running.

    2. Verify the server type and business services type that you want to run.

    3. Verify that the Object Configuration Manager program (P986011) is set up to point to the correct business services server listening port and the ping test row exit is successful.

    4. Inspect the J49T0000_APP_SERVER business services system property value, which is located in the Work with Business Service Properties program (P951000). If necessary, use the Work with Soft Coding Records program (P95400) to include additional soft coding records.

    5. Verify that the business services properties setup is correct for the business service.
