Hazmat External Distance Engine Mapping

This page is accessed via Order Management > Power Data > General > Hazmat External Distance Engine Mapping.

The Hazmat External Distance Engine Mapping page sends hazmat information of the order to External Distance Engines (EDE) such as PC*MILER Web Services (WS), HERE and third party external engines. This information is send to EDE to calculate distance between two locations. You must identify the hazmat items which you are sending and then map the items to the corresponding hazmat types based on the EDE. See About OTM sending Hazmat Information to External Distance Engines.

The process of sending hazmat information to EDE is based on the HAZMAT_ROUTING parameter.

OTM sends the hazmat information to PC*MILER WS, HERE, and third party external engines in the following manner:

• For PC*MILER WS:  In case there are multiple hazmat types available on the shipment, OTM sends hazmat type of maximum severity. The severity is categorized in the following order: G (General),  C (Corrosive), E (Explosive), F (flammable), I (Inhalants), R (Radioactive) from least to most severe.
• For HERE:  OTM sends the list of hazmat types available for the shipment.
• For third party EDE: Based on the configurations made in the glog.ExternalDistanceEngine.EDEType.Gid.YOUR_EDE_GID=EDE_TYPE  property, OTM sends hazmat types to the third party external engine.

To map Hazmat Items to the Hazmat Type based on the EDE Type, you must either map the Java Class to the EDE Type or your EDE GID to the EDE Type.

If you are using an EDE with Connection Type as Web Service, you can configure a property based on your EDE GID in the following format: glog.ExternalDistanceEngine.EDEType.Gid.YOUR_EDE_GID=EDE_TYPE. For example, glog.ExternalDistanceEngine.EDEType.Gid.GUEST.TEST_EDE=ALK.

On the Hazmat External Distance Engine Mapping page,

1. Use the Hazmat Item ID to map an hazardous item to a hazmat type based on the EDE.
2. Select the External Distance Engine Type based on which you enter the hazmat type.
3. Specify a Hazmat Type. There are various hazmat types available based on the EDE.

Note: PC*Miler ASMX based web service (ASP.NET Web Service) have been deprecated as of 6.4.3 release and will be removed from future release. You have OTM integrated with PC*Miler WCF (Windows Communication Framework) based web service.

The following table represents EDEs and their Hazmat Type values:

PC*MILER WS WCF	PC*MILER WS ASMX	Here (version 7) and Here - Routing (version 8)
None	N	combustible
General	G	corrosive
Caustic	C	explosive
Explosives	E	flammable
Flammable	F	gas
Inhalants	I	harmfulToWater
Radioactive	R	organic
		other
		poison
		poisonousInhalation
		radioActive
