Routes can be published to a file. Publishing Routes to a file lets users share Routes with wireless applications and third parties interested in planning data. Publishing also lets users publish planned times to the Transport Order Entry system.
Before publishing a Route, the application must first be configured to specify the Location of the Route and the method used to execute the publication of a document.
To configure this Location:
1 From the main menu, select App Setup > Application Configuration.
The following page appears:
2 Specify the Connection type and Account name.
3 Click the Save button to keep the configuration and exit the page.
4 To save the configuration and test the connection, click the Save and Test Connection button. A pop-up screen appears with the results of the test.
To publish a Route:
1 From the Routes quadrant, select one or more Routes.
2 Right-click on a selected Route and select Publish.
Descartes Route Planner publishes the selected Routes to a file called DocRouteDetail, in the Location specified in the Application Configuration section.
