Defining Publish Trips Jobs

A Publish Trips job generates a list of trips for selected booking subtypes in XML format for the selected date.

Before you begin

Schedule Job Agent must be open.

To specify which third-party server to send the list to, configure the Trapeze6 context property PASS > PassInfoServer > 3rdPartyIVRVendor > SendMessage > Interface.

About this task

This information can then be sent to third-party servers to contact the corresponding clients via IVR to remind them about their upcoming trips.

Procedure

  1. Select a job from the grid.
    The scheduled job record settings are shown in the Job Schedule frame.
  2. Confirm the Agent Name PassScheduleAgent is defined for the job schedule.
    The selected agent determines the options that are available in the Job Type field.
  3. Click Job Data.
    The Job Data dialog box appears.
  4. Define the schedule type and date information:
    1. In the SchType field, click a schedule type:
      Live or Template.
    2. Optional: In the Schedule list, if setting parameters for a single date or week day, specify a date or day. If the job parameters should apply to all dates or days that the job runs, leave this field set to N/A.
    3. In the Offset field, type the offset from the present date.
      Typing 0 will run the job today. Typing 1 runs the job on the next day’s schedule.

      Using Offset allows you to always run the job for days in the future.

  5. In the Job Type field, select Publish Trips. If no Job Types are available, confirm that an Agent Name has been selected in the Job Schedule frame of the Schedule Job Agent dialog box.
