Re: PM&C Transactions

Bob,

We use Help System's ROBOT to stop and restart the unattached jobs.  If you
don't want to spend the money, you can buy a $30 Windows Macro package that
will do something similar (I use that to run my system backups weekly).

Prior to our using MDCC/PLMC, we used Kronos for labor data collection.  We
never ran the select and edit or process transactions.  Instead, we wrote a
small application that weekly deleted all transactions over a week old.
Worked fine from 1993 through 2002.

I finally have several people ready to use PM&C transactions for inventory
updates. I have a couple more parts that I need to put to bed. Thought I
would see how others handle these.

1...I think there has been some discussion of this before. Is there a good
"automatic" way to start the unattached jobs AMJUA, AMJUB, & AMJUC?

2...We post the transactions and the status goes to "3". Now according to
MAPICS I need to run the Select & Edit, then the Prepare, so the backup
will
clear the transactions from TRDATA. I don't have any trouble with this, but
wish I could automate the select-prepare steps as well. Does anyone have a
good alternative?

I'm out of clever closing remarks today ;-)
Bob
