TraxDoc Setup:

Create a TraxDoc.

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

Note: When setting up the TraxDoc, ensure that A/C Effectivity is properly assigned to result in a successful load and/or import. For more information refer to the Effectivity button.

Loading the BMEL Doctype into TraxDoc

Within the TraxDoc Explorer Tab, select the Load OEM Files button.

The TraxDoc SGML Load window appears.

Note: The TraxDoc files displayed in the SGML Load window are sorted alphabetically.

Note: Only the Data Directory field is required for the BMEL load. The Image Directory field does not pertain to MEL loads.

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Data Directory

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.
