Scheduling Batch Tracking
You can use the Scheduler to track shipments by carrier and service ("batch" or "bulk" tracking). To do so, create a Track task for batch tracking in the Scheduler and specify a location for the output file containing the tracking information as described in the following procedure.
Notes:
-
This type of batch tracking by carrier and service using the Scheduler is also called "bulk tracking" and should not be confused with batch shipping.
-
To set up tracking for FedEx and UPS shipments, you need to create accounts on the respective tracking servers of these carriers.
-
You must be running the Parcel client on the same computer as the Parcel server in order to specify a local directory for the output file (see step 13).
-
Parcel supports batch tracking for the following carriers only:
- FexEx
- UPS
- USPS -
As a prerequisite for batch tracking with UPS shipments, you need to set up a UPS Quantum View® account and include information about this account in your UPS carrier configuration. You can set up batch tracking for UPS through the Scheduler but this process works differently from batch tracking with the other supported carriers.
To create and schedule a batch tracking task
-
From the System menu, select Scheduler > Task to display the Scheduler screen.
-
On the Scheduler screen, in the Task Name field, enter a name for the batch tracking task; for example: FDX Batch1.
Note: This field allows a maximum of 20 characters. -
From the Task Type drop-down list, select Track Task.
-
Click ADD\] to display the additional fields for specifying the batch tracking task.
-
In the Frequency field, type the frequency with which you want the task to run; for example, if you want the task to run every day, type 1, every two days, type 2, etc
Note: This is a required field. -
In the Task Starts On field, type in the date in the form mm/dd/yyyy (for example: 08/06/2009) on which you want to start the batch tracking task or click Calender icon and select a date.
-
From the Task Status drop-down list, select one of the following values:
-
Active – If you want the task to currently run at the specified time.
-
Suspended – If you simply want to create and save the task and add it to the list of available tasks for use at some later time.
-
-
In the Execution Time field, type the time at which you want the task to run in the following form:
hh.mm.ss using the 24-hour system for "hh"; for example, if you enter 20.00.00, the task will run at 8:00 PM in the time zone specified for the location.
Note: Type in the six digits (including a leading zeros if appropriate). Parcel automatically inserts colons as time-unit dividers. -
In the Task Ends On field, type in the final date in the form mm/dd/yyyy (for example: 08/13/2009) after which you want the batch tracking task to stop running or click Calender icon and select a date.
-
In the Depends On Task field, if you want this task to run after another task completes, select the task from the drop-down list.
-
In the Run After field, if you want the batch tracking task to run multiple times, type the time interval for it to run in the form hh:mm:ss.
Note: This field is not required. e2open, LLC. strongly recommends that you leave this field blank for track tasks. -
From the For Carrier drop-down list, select the configured carrier display name for which you want to batch track shipments.
-
From the For Service drop-down list, select the carrier Service for which you want to batch track shipments.
-
In the *Location* field, type the local path name and filename where you want Parcel to store the output with the batch tracking information or click Browse\] and select a file.
Caution: This file must be located in a folder on the Parcel server. -

Refresh Application
If you change any information in the System menu of this shipping application, Parcel caches this information. When you select System > Refresh Application, Parcel writes the cached data to the appropriate database. Typically, you use the Refresh command after you make a configuration change using the Configuration (Web Admin) Tool.
When you click [Refresh]n, a message appears that this should only be done during off-shipping hours (when shipping is not being done or islow-volume) because the Refresh command locks down shipping (see the following Warning.)
Warning: When you make most configuration changes using the Web Admin tool, Parcel automatically performs a system Refresh. Thus you need to use extreme caution when making configuration changes resulting in a system refresh. Do not make configuration changes using the Web Admin tool during the shipping process. Make all configuration changes during off-hours when Parcel shipping functionality is not in use. This is because (as stated above) a system refresh locks down shipping. (With automatic Refresh, no Warning message appears.)
