glog.tender Properties

To control the behavior of Oracle Transportation Management, you can change settings in the glog.properties file or the appropriate property set.

Property

New In Version

Definition

glog.tender.avoidPickupDateCheck

6.3.7

Indicates if updates can be made to a tender after the tender is confirmed/accepted. Sometimes there is a need to update enroute shipments (mostly delivery date) via the conditional booking process.

Default is false (off), so check for pickup date would be applicable only if this property is set to true.

This works with glog.tender.checkTenderUpdateableUsingShipment.

glog.tender.broadcast.allowAutoBidWhileAcceptTender

23A

This property controls the accepting of a broadcast tender without needing to enter a new bid for the carrier. If set to true and the carrier performs the Accept Tender action on the broadcast tender, the shipment will be accepted and the shipment cost will be used as the bid amount.

Default: false

glog.tender.cbTimeZoneStopLocationBased

 

Controls whether the time zone values are saved with the values of the location (TRUE) or the user preference values (FALSE) when running the action "Secure Resources By a Planner" on a shipment with conditional booking fields as Pick-up and Delivery times.

Default: FALSE

glog.tender.checkRateGeoWhileAcceptStepTender

22C

When a shipment is Step Tendered, that shipment's rate will not change from the rate you accept when you set this property to true.

Default: true

Set this property to false, if you want to have old behavior, where the shipment could change to a cheaper rate upon acceptance.

glog.tender.checkTenderUpdateableUsingShipment

6.3.7

This property helps determine if and when a tender can be updated. For this property to be used, glog.tender.avoidPickupDateCheck must be set to 'false'. If it is true, the Update button when you edit the Online Tender/Booking screen always displays. If it is false, there are two options for when updates are allowed based on the tender or the shipment and that depends on this property.

If this is 'true', allowance of updates (the Update button will display) will be based on the shipment start time instead of the tender pickup time.

Default value is false.

glog.tender.dispatchRegion.locationType

 

Valid values are:

  • SOURCE (default)
  • DESTINATION

If set to "SOURCE", the dispatch location uses the source location of the shipment to look up a dispatch location contact. If set to "DESTINATION" the dispatch location uses the destination location of the shipment to look up a dispatch location contact. This property and logic is used both by planning and tendering when looking up the contact for a shipment.

glog.tender.errorHandling

 

Determines what Oracle Transportation Management does when trying to tender a shipment but the communication methods are incorrect or missing.

  • manual - The tender succeeds and the shipment TENDER CALL status is set to one of TENDER CALL_TENDER, TENDER CALL_PICKUP or TENDER CALL_CANCEL. This is the default.
  • call - The tender fails and the shipment TENDER CALL status is set to TENDER CALL_COMM_PROBLEM.
  • email - The tender fails and the event SHIPMENT TENDER - FAILED is raised. Planners can register interest in this event to receive email notification.

glog.tender.mandatoryShipmentRefNumberQual

20A

This property allows you to require that a service provider enter a shipment reference number qualifier before accepting a tender.

When this property is set with a Shipment Reference Number Qualifier, before the service provider accepts the tender, the Shipment Reference Qualifier and Shipment Reference Number must be entered.

For example, you can set the property to 'BOL'. Then for the Shipment Reference Qualifier, the service provider would need to enter 'BOL' and then enter a numeric value for the Shipment Reference Number as they accept the tender in the UI. This property does not affect accepting tenders via XML.

Also, OTM does not care if a reference number with this qualifier already exists on the shipment as you accept the tender. This property forces the service provider to enter a reference number with this qualifier on the Accept tender UI.  

glog.tender.maxAllowXMLLenOBT 24A

Set this property to true to prevent performance issues that occur when you open a tender record with a large amount of data from the Online Booking and Tendering screen.
Default value: 10000000.

If the shipment data (data size of the column, I_TRANSACTION.XML_BLOB) exceeds the configured value, OTM displays a message when you open the tender record.

Note: Some of the shipment data may not be displayed.

glog.tender.notifyNonBidServprov.turnOff  

21C

This property controls the notification for open tenders (spot bid and broadcast) if the service providers did not participate in the bidding process.

The default value is false. When this property is false, OTM will notify service providers.

When this property is set to true, OTM will not send notifications to service providers who did not participate in the bidding process.

Note: If the properties glog.tender.notifySpotBidLosers is set to false, the system will not send notifications to service providers though they have participated in the spot bidding process.

If the properties glog.tender.notifyBroadcastLosers is set to false, the system will not send notifications to service providers though they have participated in the broadcast tendering process.

glog.tender.notify.useInCodeTransformer

 

Controls whether to use the specific XML Transformers from the list of XML Transformers.

Default: TRUE

glog.tender.notifyBroadcastLosers

 

When using Broadcast Tendering, after the tender is awarded, notify all the service providers who took part in the tendering process but were not awarded the tender.

When using Open Tendering, notify the service provider when the tender times out.

Default: TRUE

When using Open Tendering, notify the service providers when a bid is received.

Default: TRUE

glog.tender.opentender.servProvRuleCheck

23B

When you run the spot bid or broadcast tender action, use this property to perform a carrier compatibility check of the following:

  • Equipment group of the shipment with the service providers
  • Special services of the shipment with the service providers
  • Origin and destination country codes of the shipment with the service providers

Once the system performs the rule check, you can identify the feasibility of the service providers.   

glog.tender.opentender.showInfeasibleServProvs 24A

When this property is set to true, the Infeasible Lane and Infeasible Other Service Providers along with Infeasibility reason display on Open Tender screens.

Default: true

Note: This property works only when the property, glog.tender.opentender.servProvRuleCheck, is set.

glog.tender.pickUpTimeOption

22C

This property helps the system to default different pickup date options for ordinary tender.

Default: Start time of the shipment
Property values: B or E or L

B- Blank will show pickup as blank while accepting the tender. You can enter a value.
E- Early Pickup or Start Time. If shipment has no value set for Earliest Start Time, the system will pick the start time of the shipment.
L- Latest Pickup Time. If shipment has no value set for Latest Start Time, the system will pick the start time of the shipment.

glog.tender.remarkDisplayQual

21C

If a remark qualifier GID is set and if a shipment has that qualifier then the qualifier value will be displayed while accepting the tender.

When the property is true, if the tender times out or if a service provider declines the tender that you awarded using the Spot Bid Tender process, the tender will not be sent to the next service provider, and the system updates the status of the shipment to  "SECURE RESOURCES_NO RESOURCES".

23A
