MANAGE INTERFACE CONFIGURATION AND SCHEDULER

Use this screen to configure and schedule an integration process. You can use this screen to set up parameter records for specific interfaces to run at scheduled intervals. The interface applications use the data entered in this screen to identify the target and source databases and control how the interfaces are executed.

Use this screen to configure and schedule the following interfaces:

You must install the interface and set up any individual interface configuration screens before you set up the data in this screen. Use the screen documentation for individual interfaces to determine which additional screens are required. Data contained in the installation and in the configuration screens automatically displays on this screen after you select the Interface ID. You can schedule the interface process to be executed once you have entered all the required data in this screen.

After you populate the interface, parameter, and object configuration data on the main screen and the Instance Objects subtask, save the record. Your company ID, which is assigned to your Costpoint user ID, determines the data to which you and other Costpoint users have access. Costpoint users who are assigned to a different company will not be able to access the saved record.
