Hello all,

I'm wondering if there's any way to raise a Shipment Event (say, Estimated Departure [EST_DEPARTURE Event Group]) with an Agent. From what I've seen, each Shipment Event is processed like a Transmission / Transaction from OTM to itself using a CLOB with the <ShipmentStatus> XML element, so there's no way to do this through a Direct SQL Update. And, to be specific, i mean events with statuses, not the Agent Events you can raise with the RAISE EVENT and RAISE INTERNAL EVENT Agent Actions.

As a related question, for any of you with experience using / playing with the Shipment Event Tracker agent and agent events, is there a way to have it recognize Event Groups marked solely for internal use, i.e. SELL SIDE TENDERED? Basically, I'm trying to get the agent to fire when i tender the shipment rather than having to enter an event.

I'll be glad to elaborate if I'm not clear.

Thanks!

Spencer

The only way I have found to raise an event in OTM is manual event entry or XML persist ShipmentStatus.xml

Hi sblackman1
a way to do it, not simple, but using agent is:

1. Modeling a XSL in order to filter a standard output XML PLANNED SHIPMENT interface in a SHIPMENT STATUS transmission corresponding to the Event that you want to simulate. To have an XML file where working on you could export a shipment with some events and isolate SHIPMENT STATUS zone

2. Create an external system linked to your otm servlet for xml import, using XSL as transformation

3. In a agent (based on Shipment..) call action send transmission , using external system of point 2. Then OTM receive in Input a Transmission similar to event manually insert, you have only to manage where to retreive (in xsl transformation) event date.
