INTTRA Booking Lifecycle Send

The INTTRA Booking Lifecycle Send job type processes events related to TM Bookings to communicate the information to INTTRA. Files are sent to INTTRA for TM Bookings assigned to carriers configured to use the Blue Yonder-INTTRA integration. The files that are sent contain information needed by the carriers to facilitate the Ocean transportation of the TM Booking. See INTTRA Booking Lifecycle Receive for more information about the data sent from INTTRA to Blue Yonder.

This job should be configured to be run using the ‘Destination Job Code’ of an Event Notification Distribution. It should be configured for booking (trip) tender notifications for carriers to be integrated with INTTRA. The job type processes the booking (trip) tender XML (input XML) to determine the booking details and the action to be taken with INTTRA (tender booking, update tender, cancel tender). The job type creates the appropriate output XML, in INTTRA V1.0 format (Transaction V2.0), and places it in a directory where it can be sent using FTP to INTTRA.

Customers should configure an FTP client which will transfer all files in the source directory to INTTRA. The INTTRA Booking Lifecycle Send job type does not transfer files. Customers are recommended to use an application which automatically uploads files as they are modified or created. Some examples of applications which perform this function are WinSCP, AutoFTP, and CuteFTP.

The processing of booking details to create INTTRA files requires mapping to INTTRA UN/LOCODE, equipment type, and other entities from the Blue Yonder TMS entities. For more information, see Global Settings - List of External Mappings (Employee).
