Manager Layout: Producers

This page is accessed via Configuration and Administration > User Configuration > Manager Layout. Then select the Producers tab.

The XML document for an object is created by a series of "producers". These producers are associated with objects within Oracle Transportation Management.

Each manager in Oracle Transportation Management has an XML document associated with it. When you create a user-defined manager you can create or remove fields from that manager. The system creates an XML document containing relevant data that is displayed in that manager. However the XML document may contain data that is no longer needed in a user-defined manager that has had a lot of fields removed. By deleting the associated producers from the user-defined manager the XML document will be smaller, allowing the page to load more quickly.

Note: Be careful when deleting producers. If you remove the wrong producers the page may not work correctly.

Deleting or Adding Producers

1. Select the option button to the left of the producer you want to delete.
2. Click the Delete icon. If you delete a producer with sub-producers, all the sub-producers will be deleted as well as the high level one.
3. To re-add a deleted producer, click the appropriate Add button.
4. If you want the producer to add all its elements to the XML document, select the Display All option button.
5. Selecting the Display Max option button and entering a number in the associated field prevents elements from being added to the XML if there are more elements than the number entered in the field. For example, if there are 300 elements and the Display Max field is set to 200, then no elements will be added to the XML. This functionality overrides the glog.query.limit property on a producer-by-producer basis.
6. Click Finished.
