The “Send ToxiTrack® File via FTP” option allows a user to send case files via a FTP connection to any desired FTP address. Please follow the steps listed below to configure your AutoUpload Manager to utilize this feature.
Ø Start TOXICALL® and log in with supervisor rights.
Ø Click the TOOLS menu option and select the “AutoUpload Manager” option.
Ø In the “AutoUpload Section” field type in a unique name for the upload process. An example may look like “DOH-SEND” if you are sending the case data to a state department of health.
Ø Once you have a name typed in, press the “Create a New AutoUpload Configuration” icon to the right of the field.
Ø Using the “AutoUpload Mode” drop down menu, select the “Send ToxiTrack® File via FTP” option.
Ø The “Destination” field is where you will specify the FTP address the case data will be sent to.
Ø The “Password” filed is where the password that is assigned to the log in user name will be specified.
Ø The “New Cases (sec)” field is where the user will specify the frequency that the upload process will check for new cases. Typically this setting is set at a value of 30. This is the time in seconds.
Ø The “Ack File Check (sec)” field is where the user will specify the frequency that the upload process will check for the acknowledgement file. Typically this setting is set at a value of 30.
Ø The “Ack Timeout (sec)” field is where the user will specify the maximum amount of seconds the process will wait for an acknowledgement file. Typically this setting is set at a value of 50400.
Ø The “Max Cases” field is where the user will specify the maximum amount of cases to be sent at a time.
Ø The “AutoWhere” statement is a user defined addition to the system generated Where clause. Note: The user should not include the "Where" in this statement as it will be appended to the existing Where statement.
Ø The “Search IDs” field is where the user will specify any custom saved searches that they would like the AutoUpload process to use when locating cases to upload using the “Send ToxiTrack® File via FTP” function. For example if the user had a custom saved search that filtered out all cases that were a fatality and they wanted to send only these cases over the “Send ToxiTrack® File via FTP” process, the user could specify that custom search in this field.
Ø The “Scanout Flag” drop down menu field is where the user will specify the scan out flag they would like to place on the case that is uploaded through this process so that it is not uploaded more than once. For example if the user has an upload process sending cases to the AAPCC and to the state Department of Health, the user would want to set the AAPCC scan out flag to ScanoutFlag1 and the “Send ToxiTrack® File via FTP” process would have the scan out flag set to ScanoutFlag2. Setting a unique scan out flag for each process is an essential part of configuring the AutoUpload process to properly handle which cases have been sent to which location.
Ø Once you have completed filling in the fields that are needed you will need to set the process you just created to be an active running process. Currently it is not yet set to run when you start AutoUpload. Please reference the section header labeled “Setting an AutoUpload Process to run” before proceeding.
Ø Press the save button to save your changes.
Ø Exit “AutoUpload Manager” and TOXICALL®.
Ø Please refer to “AutoUpload Shortcut Configuration” to set up the proper application shortcut parameters to start the AutoUpload process.
Once you have the AutoUpload Manager configuration complete, and have created an AutoUpload shortcut, you are ready to start sending cases to the destination FTP address. To start the upload process, double click on the AutoUpload shortcut.
