The system allows the user to load TSMs into a database via TraxDoc

The following topic will explain in detail how to complete the below steps:

• How the create a TraxDoc for the TSM doctype
• How to Load a TSM into TraxDoc
• How to create a fault code header and link it to the specified TraxDoc
• How to Import the TSM (including fault codes and Task Cards) into the system

TraxDoc Set Up (TSM):

Create a TraxDoc.

Specify the SGML/XML Doctype in the TraxDoc Document Detail, Optional tab.

The TraxDoc is effective to the following Type/Series.

Loading an XML into TraxDoc:

To load an XML into TraxDoc, follow the steps below.

From the TraxDoc Explorer, select into the New/ Load XML button option as shown below. The user may also select the Load XML button from the File Multi button.

When uploading a document into TraxDoc, the file that is being uploaded must be in a location where the eMRO server will recognize it. See below instructions:

- The IT department on the user side must select a directory to work as a repository for all the OEM manuals that would be uploaded to eMRO via the TraxDoc module.
- This directory must be accessible from the application server (Wildfly).
- Create a way for users to provide the OEM manual revisions to be placed in the repository.
- The path for the repository directory will be defined by the traxdoc_manual variable on the data.source.properties file. This can be found under the application server (/%WILDFLYHOME%/deployments/emro.war/WEB-INF/classes/resources/).

SaaS customers should refer to the instructions outlined in this document in iCentral: SaaS - How to Upload TraxDoc Manuals.

The TraxDoc SGML Load window pops up. Notice that the Load Option is automatically defaulted to 'XML Converted from SGML' for TSM manuals. The system will always default the load option to the recommended option.
