BTL Switches and Descriptions
Bad Trip Locator (BTL) switches are found in the Trace Options dialog box.
BTL Switches
The following BTL switches are located in the Schedule Server application. Click ; in the Switches tab, expand folder.
| Switch | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
|
BTL Interval |
This switch specifies the interval, in minutes, for the Bad Trip Locator to scan the schedule to search for bad trips. For example, to configure the BTL to scan for bad trips every 10 minutes, set this value to 10. To disable this switch, set the value to 0. |
30 |
| BTL Reschedule |
This switch specifies whether to reschedule trips that are over the Bump Cost before moving them to the bump run. Specify one of the following options:
|
ON |
| BTL Reschedule Cost |
This switch defines the cost at which trips the Bad Trip Locator will try to reschedule. The Bad Trip Locator will try to reschedule trips that cost more than the specified value and less than the bump cost. For example, if the BTL Reschedule Cost is set to 300 and the bump cost is set to 500, but a trip costs only 400, the Bad Trip Locator will try to reschedule this trip. However, if the trip costs 600, the Bad Trip Locator will move the trip to the bump run. To disable this switch, set the value to 0 or a value greater than the bump cost (see the Bump Cost switch). |
1000 |
| Bump Cost |
This switch specifies the trip cost over which the Bad Trip Locator should bump trips. For example, if the Bump Cost is set to 500 and a trip costs 600, the Bad Trip Locator will move the trip to the bump run. |
2000 |
| Bump Run PC Max |
This switch specifies the maximum total run provider cost (PC) allowed for the default bump run at any given time. For example, to allow only $1000 worth of trips to be added to the bump run, set this value to 100000. To disable this switch, set the value to 0 (default) |
0 |
|
Bump Run PC Over |
This switch specifies the bump run provider cost (PC) overdraft limit. Enter the monetary value in hundredths without decimal separators) (e.g., express $230.50 as 23050, €88.70 as 8870). For example, if the Bump Run PC Max switch (see the Bump Run PC Max switch) is set to $1000 but the site wants to allow an extra $500 worth of trips to the bump run in case $1000 worth of trips have already been added, set this value to 50000. To disable this switch, set the value to 0 (default). |
0 |
|
Bump Run Trips Max |
This switch specifies the maximum number of trips allowed to remain on the default bump run. It can be used in with Bump Run PC Max (see the Bump Run PC Max switch), combining the rules results in the lesser of the two. The default value is 10. For example, to allow only 50 trips to be added to the bump run, set this value to 50. To disable this switch, set the value to 0. |
0 |
|
Bump Run Trips Over |
This switch specifies the number of trips over the Bump Run Trips Max (see the Bump Run PC Max switch) that is allowed for temporary placement of trips on the default bump run. For example, if the Bump Run Trips Max switch is set to 50 but the site wants to allow an extra 20 trips to the bump run in case 50 trips have already been added, set this value to 20. |
4 |
|
Bump Window Cutoff For Next Day |
This switch specifies the time after which the Bump Manager will not
proceed beyond this time on the day before the schedule. Sites that print their
run manifests the night before may wish to use this setting to ensure that the
schedule doesn't change (due to bumping) after this time. Enter time as seconds
from midnight (e.g. 64800 for a cutoff of 6:00 pm). The default value is 0,
which means the cutoff time will have no effect. Enter the time, as seconds from midnight, beyond which the bump manager does not proceed on the day before the schedule. To disable this switch, set the value to 0 (default). |
0 |
|
Enable |
This switch enables or disables the bump run manager and bad trip locator. Not to be confused with Batch Schedule Agent BTL jobs. Specify one of the following options:
|
OFF |
|
Max Threads |
This switch specifies the maximum number of worker threads that the bump
manager uses. To allow the Schedule Server to automatically select an optimum number of threads (recommended), set this value to 0 (default). |
0 |
|
Re-evaluate Interval |
This switch specifies the interval in minutes between bump manager attempts to reschedule trips on a bump run back into the schedule at below the Bump Cost (see the Bump Cost switch). To disable this switch, set the value to 0. |
60 |
|
Re-evaluate Trigger |
This switch enables or disables the bump manager to attempt to reschedule
trips moved to the bump run manually or through classic bumping as soon as they
are received on the bump run. Specify one of the following options:
|
OFF |
| Time Offset |
This switch defines the start of the window as a time offset (in minutes) from the current time. The true bump window start time is the greater of now + date offset and now + time offset. Specify the start window, in minutes, as a time offset from the current time. For example, if set to 360 (minutes), then no bumping is allowed for trips that have a pickup time within 6 hours of the current time. |
480 (8 hours) |
|
Trace |
Specify the trace level for the bump trip list manager:
|
2 |
| Trace Verbose |
Specify the verbosity level when Verbose logging is used. Use one of the
following:
|
0 |
|
|
Specifies the offset from the current date for the start of the scheduling window in which bumping is allowed. For example, type “0” for current day, “1” for next day, etc. This switch is found at . |
1 |
| Specifies the length, in days, for the bump window. The switch is found at . |
