Setup in Global Trade Management

Global Trade Management Properties Setup

Network Connectivity to Descartes Server

If the network Global Trade Management is installed requires a proxy server for external access to the Descartes server, specify the following properties in the glog.properties:

glog.integration.http.proxyHost=proxy-address
glog.integration.http.proxyPort=proxy-port

Refer to the online help for additional details.

Properties for Data Loading Directories

The data loader relies on pre-defined directories for the source and output directories. The directories are defined via properties:

gtm.dataload.basedir=$temp.dir$/dataload
gtm.dataload.inputdir=$gtm.dataload.basedir$/input
gtm.dataload.outputdir=$gtm.dataload.basedir$/output
gtm.dataload.workingdir=$gtm.dataload.basedir$/output

These properties do not need to be changed for implementation. The logic will create the directories needed if they are not already created.
