Updating per-diems

Perform these steps to update per-diems:

  1. Set the value of the PerDiem.US.ImportClass application parameter to largesoft.pagateway.importer.PerDiem.HttpPerDiemImporter.
  2. Set the value of the 'PerDiem.httpImporter.url.conus' application parameter to the current rate specified in the Defense Travel Department of Defense conus file.
    1. Navigate to https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/perdiemFiles.cfm.
    2. Click the latest current CONUS FORMAT ASCII.
    3. Copy the appropriate file path, zip file name, and file name as the parameter value.

      For example, you can use this parameter value for 2024:

      https://www.travel.dod.mil/Portals/119/Documents/Allowances/Per_Diem/CONUS/ASCII/CONUS-ASCII-2024.zip,e_conusnm-24.txt

      Note: The file path and the file name changes every year, therefore you must select the appropriate file path and file name to be used as the parameter value.
  3. Set the value of the 'PerDiem.httpImporter.url.oconus' application parameter to the current rate specified in the Defense Travel Department of Defense oconus file.
    1. Navigate to https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/perdiemFiles.cfm.
    2. Click latest OCONUS FORMAT ASCII. Copy the appropriate file path and zip file name as the parameter value.

      For example, you can use this parameter value for the year 2024:

      https://www.travel.dod.mil/Portals/119/Documents/Allowances/Per_Diem/OCONUS/ASCII/OCONUS-ASCII-2024.zip,07-01-24oconusnm.txt

      Note: The file path and the file name changes every year, therefore you must select the appropriate file path and file name to be used as the parameter value.
  4. Run the PerDiemImportBkg background process.
    Note: You must restart the BKGServer after an application parameter is modified.
