About Publishing from AS
Data can be published from Infor Production Scheduling for reporting purposes or for viewing with Web Viewer for AS. Multiple interface groups can exist for publishing. For example, you may have an ASCII interface group for exporting data for reporting and a group for exporting data to the Web Viewer. You can determine which data to export depending on how it will be used. You may choose to only export master data at times and only scheduling data at other times.
Publishing for Reports
You can define the data and parameters to publish using the View Entry window. Interface groups and interfaces for publication of master and scheduling data are distributed with the Infor Production Scheduling setup via templates. The template to import is REPORTWRITER. Import the template prior to publishing data for reporting. When an interface group is run and the write Schema.ini and/or write Qetxt.ini check boxes are selected, these files will be created.
Publishing for Web Viewer
If viewing data with Web Viewer for Infor Production Scheduling, you can create pictures of the planning board views for which the Publish View setting has been selected on the Publish tab of the View Entry dialog box. Select the entity 'Planning Board' when creating an interface. The mode will automatically default to Write and the type will default to Web Viewer for AS. Interface groups for reporting are distributed with Infor Production Scheduling via templates. Import the templates WV4AS_ORACLE and WV4AS_ODBC. You can modify the interface groups and the interfaces that are used to publish data to Web Viewer for AS. Interfaces and interface groups are included in the templates.
