FTP server or network share

Another way to make available auxiliary files, is storing them on a server. This can be an http or a FTP server or a file server with network share. For an http server, the installation prepares this C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\PpsDocs\CustomerWeb path on the Apache server of the SNS. However, these systems must always be available for use, support the number of required accesses and provide the data volume fast enough.

How to proceed:

  1. You wanted to make available an additional information in a OkcMcMaintenance.html HTML page regarding a maintenance order for the knitter out of the ticket view.
  2. The PPS server name is MyPpsSvr.
  3. The Order ticket is named Maintenance_0122.xml.
  4. The HTML page is to be provided via the Apache server.
    1
    Store the OkcMcMaintenance.html file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\PpsDocs\CustomerWeb folder.
    2
    Reference the HTML file via the prepared tag in the XML:
    <STOLL:ORDER_INFO_WEBLINK>http://MyPpsSvr/PpsDocs/CustomerWeb/OkcMcMaintenance.html</STOLL:ORDER_INFO_WEBLINK>
    3
    Complete the specification in the Maintenance_0122.xml.
    4
    Now, store the Maintenance_0122.xml order in the D:\ERP\Input folder.
  1. The order is read-in and appears in the scheduling.
    2. 5
    Assign the order to a machine.
    6
    Open the Ticket management window at the machine.
    7
    Select the order
    8
    Select the ticket view.
    9
    Click on the text Order number.
  1. The OkcMcMaintenance.html page opens up.
