Each quarter there is a new Traffic Distribution List (TDL) file(s) from US TRANSCOM containing the new discounts that need to be applied by the PPM tool.
- They will send the file(s) through the AMRDEC Safe Access File Exchange Tool.
- The files will be available at AMRDEC. Follow the instructions from the e-mail you will receive.
- There are 2 types of TDL files. The Peak (PK) discounts and the Non-Peak (NP). PK contains the discounts that are effective in the peak season. NP are discounts after the peak seasons, these are subject to change after the current quarter ends. Both are discounts with a start and end date, and they do not overlap. Only one discount should exist for a moving date.
- Go to Move.mil and log in with your admin user.
- Navigate to the Parser Admin.
- Expand Discounts tab.
- Choose the discount file.
- Set the starting effective date (those will be moving dates).
- If you don't need the previous data to remain there, check the
Clear tablecheckbox. Otherwise leave it uncheck. - Click
Save configuration. - Repeat the previous steps for the next file if available.
Each 2 weeks there is a new XML file with location updates from US TRANSCOM containing corrections or addition of addresses, phones, or e-mail addresses.
- They will upload the file on Pivotal.
- Go to Move.mil and log in with your admin user.
- Navigate to the Locations Admin.
- Choose the XML file and wait until it is uploaded.
- Click on 'Update Locations' and wait until the process has finished. Do not execute this process more than once at a time.
- All the Drupal locations that have a
CNSL_ORG_IDwill be updated: name, address, e-mails, geolocation, and phones. - This tool will add new locations, in case a new location is missing in Drupal.
- This tool will remove offices that exist on the exception list.
