JEPost office is an 'add on' program to allow users to send, faxes (with WinFax), Cedex, Edifact and 322 messages as e-mail attachments. It was the first of the CDS2100 range of systems.

Typically The JEPostOffice Set-up program is loaded on the Server at F:\JEI\JEPO.
On the workstation that the program is to be installed choose Start and Run and then Browse to F:\JEI\Jepo\JEPO1-5Setup.EXE which will install the program.
After installing, but before you can open the JEPostOffice, it will require a license file.
Copy F:\JEI\Jepo\JE.lic to C:\Program Files\Jei\JEPostOffice.

You should now be able to open the JEPostOffice. Choose File and Options. On the General tab:
- Ensure the processing options you require are checked on the WinFax tab:
- Ensure that the File Folder is set to F:\JEI\FAXES
- Ensure the Omit Date is checked.
- Ensure that the Use COM Interface is checked, on the Email tab:
- Ensure the File Folder is set to F:\JEI\EMAIL.
- Ensure the Microsoft Outlook is checked, on the Cedex tab:
- Ensure the File Folder is set to F:\JEI\CEDEX.
- Ensure the Sender ID is filled in.

The CDS49 is currently set to work with WinBridge and output files to C:\COMMERCE.
If you wish to switch it to the JEPostOffice the in the CDS49 Maint Set-up, change the EDI DIRECTORY to F:\JEI\CEDEX

It should be a comma separated values file, named BATCHENT.CSV.

One line per record. The fields in each record are:

The dates determine if status is AWAIT ESTIMATE, AWAIT AUTH, AWAIT REPAIR, or AVAILABLE. Any other status can be put in Status field, so long as they already exist in CDS49.

On Page 1 of the Customer screen, the 6 INV ADDRESS fields are for the Invoice Address. On Page 3 of the Customer screen the ADDRESS2 fields are used for information and/or a second Invoice Address.

For Repair Invoices *only* INV ADDRESS is used.
For Storage & Handling Invoices INV ADDRESS or ADDRESS2 is used depending on whether ADDRESS (on Page 4) is set to 1 or 2.

For Manual Invoices INV ADDRESS or ADDRESS2 is used depending on whether ADDRESS (on Manual Invoice Screen) is set to 1 or 2.

On the workstation where you have the problem do Reports, PrivRestore. This will restore any of the temporary report tables including the Moverpt and fix the problem.

As you have estimates already in the system, we cannot replace your code set. You would need to add another code using the Cedex Code for every code you have.

You can do this in the component screen by pressing Insert and filling in the Cedex Code in the COMPONENT field and then press F7 in each of the other fields. The F7 key copies what is on the record that was present before inserting the new record. Test it by doing it on one component and then using that component on an estimate. Don't forget that after adding a component record you need to run the Prep option on the Lookup Sub Menu before the component is available for use in estimates.

There are locks present on records which should have been closed. This happens when the CDS49 is not exitted as it should, either by rebooting the machine or an error that throws you out of the system.

What you need to do is make sure everyone is out of the system and then shutdown and restart the server. Afer this is done, and before anyone goes back into the system, you need to delete the .LCK and . NET files. From your workstation you should delete I:\CDS49\PDOXUSRS.NET and I:\CDS49\*.NET This should resolve the problem.

You export from cds49 to Peachtree (push) Peachtree imports (pull)

You would collect it from our web site and it would automatically install itself.

To put your address on the Invoices it must be set-up in the Set-up Screen (Maint, Set-up) in the ADDRESS fields under the COMPANY Names. You should also have the HEADED INVS & ESTS set to N, if you want the Company Name and Address to appear on the Invoices.

I have put an icon on MNR3 to access the JEI CDS49. Please ask F to go into the JEI CDS49 on MNR3 (The Server) and try printing an estimate. This is only for testing purposes to establish whether the problem is a printer Or network issue. I do not intend to leave access to the JEI CDS49 on MNR3.

If the speed of the printing dramatically increases (on MNR3), then it may not be a printing issue.

I have looked at the printer set-up, and it looks okay. I spoke with F, one of the surveyors, yesterday and he says it had started printing quickly, but there was a problem with the font size. I believe the font size is set on the panel of the printer itself, and it is a matter of testing the different fonts to find the best choice. This cannot be done remotely, but needs to be done on site.

I take it from your reply that printing on MNR3 is fast, compared with MNR4 & MNR5.This means that the problem is likely to do with the network, not the Printer. I know that earlier this year an additional workstation (MNR1) was added at JS and it suffered from speed problems, which proved difficult to pinpoint, but was resolved by changing the network card. I

Don't know how the network is routed at the Port, that could also be a possibility. I hope this is of help.

1) Are you running the Prep option in Lookup section?
2) If you are do the new tariffs appearing on the simulator?
3) When you upload PC to TouchPC using PCLink, can you see files with the extension .tar being transferred?

I logged on this morning and checked out xxxx2446483 and xxxx8229588. They both have the same problem. The CUST APPR AMOUNT was 0.00 and the LESSEE AP AMOUNT was filled in. For the Customer to get the approval, the amount must be greater than 0.00. Please change the CUST APPR AMOUNT to the amount approved and the LESSEE AP AMOUNT to 0.00 and they should appear on the depot activity for 6th November.

I checked out the units for approval. They should have appeared on the daily movements for 9 November. Your data was correct. I checked the program and found an error in a recent change we had made. I have corrected it and the units do now appear on the daily movements for the 9th November. Thanks to you for checking, so that I was able to find the error.

The Eagle2 programs have been updated. Due to a quirk of NT, it is not possible to upload or download the Eagles from within the CDS49.

We have already set-up an Eagle download shortcut on one of the desktops.
You now need to set-up an Eagle Upload shortcut.
On the desktop, right click and open a new shortcut.
The command line is F:\JEI\CDS49\TPCUP.BAT
When running this shortcut it opens PCLink using COM1 at 115.2, to upload most of the files.
When you exit PCLink it opens again but for uploading the tariffs, again using COM1 at 115.2.

On the Gate screen, once a container has been released from the system you cannot change the gate information. On the Gate screen, once a container has been accepted into the system you cannot change the gate information. This is because it is a record of the gate interchange. However, details relating to the container can be changed on the Master Viewing Screen. From the Gate Movements screen, press F1 to go to the Master Viewing Screen. Find the Container you wish to change and then move the cursor to the data field you wish to change.

Now press Ctrl+Home and it will let you change that piece of data. The system doesn't let you change all the data fields, but most are accessible in this way. Some data fields relating to the Survey such as Size and ISO Type can only be changed in the Survey screen, rather than the Master Viewing screen.

On gate movement screen, entered unit then deleted-but could not re-enter unit. During deletion got following message: run error-expecting value of date type.

This is because it is a record of the gate interchange. However, you can edit the data on the Master Viewing Screen, using the Crtl+Home as above. In addition, on the Master Viewing screen, there is an option F6 UndoOut that undoes an Out Movement.

I can't tell what went wrong for CRLU 913658, but filling in the Available Date should change the Status to AVAILABLE. Please test this on another container and let me know if it is not working. Dates should be input including the century (6/22/2000).

The two invoice addresses on the Customer details screen are on Page 1 for 4 (INV ADDRESS) and Page 3 of 4 (ADDRESS2). Repair invoices always use the INV ADDRESS. Storage and Handling Invoices can use either the INV ADDRESS or ADDRESS2 depending on whether you set ADDRESS (on Page 4 of 4) to 1 or 2. Manual Invoices can use either address.

Repair estimates can also be billed to separate customers depending on the authorisation on the estimate.

We have updated your CDS49 system with some enhancements. Please can you ensure that each CDS49 workstation does a 'Reports, PrivRestore' to update them.

The enhancements include:

1) Ability to select Surveyor on Survey Request Report (Reports, Repair, Surv).

2) Outstanding Acceptance Report (Reports, Daily, Accepts).

3) Export of Invoices to Peachtree Accounts Package (ImpExp, Export, and InvII).

4) Filename including drive and directory can be inputted in ACCOUNT FILENAME on Page three of Set-up Screen (Maint, Set-up).

5)Container Location List listing units in number order (Reports, Stock, List3).

6) Daily Movement Faxes and Reports to show Surveyed as well as Approved units. This is based on the use of Cedex status codes in the APPR STATUS fields on page 2 of Survey screen. E - Lessee/User Surveyed, L - Lessor/Owner Surveyed, G - Lessee/User Surveyed & Auth, H - Lessor/Owner Surveyed & Auth, Any other code is treated as Approved.

7) Stock Report and Fax (#6) to include MADE BY for use with GESeaco types.

8) Haulier lookup on Eagle and Gate screens (Lookups, More, Haulier).

9) Awaiting Auth & Repair Status Report to show approvals status (Reports, Repair, Await).

10) F2 FindNo on Master Viewing Screen will also search for Previous Container No.

11)When an approval is added to the Survey record it is automatically flagged as a 'Revised record', given a Revision Number and Revision Date. The Revision Date is the date of input. For the approval to appear on the daily movement report, both the Revision Date and approval Date should be the same as the Movement Date.

The John Evans System sends all output to LPT1. It does not use the Windows drivers. It does not utilise the Windows API. Windows captures any output to LPT1 and redirects it to the printer. Windows may utilise the printer driver at this point, but that is decided by the printer driver.

The invoicing of your DUMB customer can be done separately. For Storage and Handling you can select the Customer to Invoice. For Repair Invoices you can select individual containers to invoice or the Invoice Code. The Invoice Code is just a code to group the invoicing of particular customers together. If you set the INV CODE on page 2 of the Customer screen to DB for the DUMB customer, and then run the repair invoices and input DB for the Invoice Code, then only the DUMB customer should be selected. The only overlap with other customers is the Invoice, No which is a sequential number. You can, however, set this before and after invoicing (see Maint, Inv).

I logged on this morning to check, and found that there was N in the FIN field of both estimates (Page 1 of Survey screen). This tells the program that the estimate is not finished and should be ignored. I removed the N for both TRIU1570551 and TTNU2222411 and ran the Movement Report for 20-Sep-2000 and the Survey Approval sections appeared on the report.

Please make sure that you don't put anything in the FIN field, unless you want the system to ignore the estimate.

When an approval is added to the Survey record it is automatically flagged as a Revised record, given a Revision Number and Revision Date. The Revision Date is the date of input.
For the approval to appear on the daily movement report, both the Revision Date and Approval Date should be the same as the Movement Date.

The default status in the system is AWAIT ESTIMATE, which cannot be changed. The default notification to your customers on the Daily Movement reports and faxes is either IN DAMAGED or IN. This you can set in the Customer screen, Page 1 in the field IN STATUS.

When a unit comes into the yard its default Condition In is Damaged, and default Status is Awaiting Estimate. The unit is then inspected. If it is found to be sound then its status is changed to Available which in turn changes the Condition In to Available. You can make a unit Available by using the F1 Status on the Master Viewing Screen. When a unit is damaged, a repair estimate is needed. It is important that your customer is not notified that a unit is sound and available when it is not, and to prevent damaged units from leaving the yard.

The 4 character EDI codes for Hyundai can be put in the Haulier Lookup table (see Lookup, More, Haulier). They would then be available on the Gate screen using the F1 Lookup key in the Haulier fields. The first 4 character must be for the codes but you can utilise the full 10 characters of the field, as I will only take the first four when creating the EDI message.

You would only need to fill in the E for Empty or F for Full if you have both. If you have only one type then there is no need to input anything. If you did have both and it defaulted to E then it would lead to a mistake being made.

To adjust your size and types, you need to know the following:

Sizes and Types can be changed from the Lookup Sub Menu
The ISO screen allows you to set the different ISO Type Codes.
The Size screen allows you to set what the different Size codes and ISO Type Codes are for each size.
The IsoAsp screen allows you to set the different Aspects for each ISO Type Code
If you add or delete any ISO Type Codes you need to add and remove them in the Size screen and IsoAsp Screen option as well.

After making any changes you will need to run the Lookup Prep option to update all the Lookup tables.

If you do go to Maint, Set-up, Page 2, GENSTAR DEPOT CODE. Edit (F3) the record and fill in the Depot Code. If you have a particular folder you want the file saving to fill in the GENSTAR DIRECTORY (C:\EMAIL for example). Save (F2) the record and escape to the Main Menu.

Now go to ImpExp, Transfer, and SeaStk. This will prompt you for a Transfer List. Enter Y. If your Depot Code is 44L for example then a file STK_44L.001 will be created in the folder specified by GENSTAR DIRECTORY. If no folder was specified then the file is created in the CDS49 folder.

The .001 extension is a counter and every time the program is run it is incremented 002, 003 etc. So don't worry if it is not .001 You can open this file using Notepad or you can attach it to an email and send to GESeaco.

Do you know which port the TouchPC is connected to at the back of your computer? It is usually either COM1 or COM2. Once you know this, you will need to check the settings in the Properties of the TouchPC Download shortcut on your desktop. To do this:

Right click on the TouchPC Download icon
Choose Properties
Choose Shortcut and look for the Target line
There should be text something like C:\PRIV\TPCDLOAD.BAT -c1
The important bit is the -c1 which tells the system that the TouchPC is connected to COM1. -C2 would tell the system that the TouchPC is connected to COM2.

Once the -c setting is set to the correct port, press the OK and try the shortcut.

If this doesn't sort the problem, you will need to tell me which port the TouchPC is connected to and what the Target line is in the shortcut. It is OK if you don't have EPRINT.EXE, EVIEW.EXE, COMP.DAT, IMP.DAT as they are not required for your particular system. Ignore the PARADOX, PCLINK, and PDOXUSRS, as these MUST not be uploaded to the TouchPC.

Are you using the Shortcut on the desktop that John set-up? If you are then you need to set the COM port to 1 or 2 depending on which port the TouchPC is connected to. You also need to make sure that the BAUD RATE is the same on the Workstation as the TouchPC.

Sorry, it is a bit misleading; the manual has not been updated yet with the new program for the TouchPC. The files for the Eagle TouchPC are:

EAGLE2.EXE
EDEL.EXE
EPRINT.EXE
EVIEW.EXE
EXTRN.EXE
SEND
CONDAT.DAT
COMP.DAT
LOCATION.DAT
HELP.DAT
IMP.DAT
PRINT.DAT
ETRANS.BAT
*.TAR --- Any file with a .TAR extension
CUSTOMER.DAT

If any files are missing, don't worry, they may not be required for your particular set-up.

You should decide whether you will work in inches or centimetres and then have only tariffs for that measurement. In other words the whole system should be in inches or centimetre, but not both. It can be both but it is much easier if there is only one measurement.

To tell which Tariff is which you will have to look at a few records which have CALC TYPES of L (Length). Inches usually have LIMITS and INCREMENTS of 6, or 12, or 24. Centimetres usually have LIMITS and INCREMENTS of 15, or 30, or 60, or 90 and if the component is the full length of the container they have LIMITS of 600 and 1200.

The Tariff's UNIT OF MEASURE is used for the Manual WorkOrders (See Survey, ManWork) which is used for logging work that is done by not estimated for. Such as Roadability Repairs, Reefer Services, etc.

Different jobs that are done can have a price in the tariff and their units of measure are not Centimetres or Inches, but things like Gallon, or Litre. When the job is priced by the tariff the UNIT OF MEASURE from the Tariff appears in the M column next to the UNIT COST.

On the customer screen the CDX identifies customers who use Cedex. The CD2 and CD3 mean that CODE2 or CODE3 for Components, Repairs and Damages are shown on estimates. They do not relate to Cedex.

The 'CUSTNAME' is for information only, it cannot be entered. It is the CUSTCODE that should be entered.

To select 40 ft dry containers the Size limits would be 40 - 49, and the ISO Type limits would be 10 -10 (for old ISO codes) and G1 - G1 (for new ISO codes). Which means if you use both old and new ISO codes, you would need to run the report twice to select only dry vans.

Releases can be Archived (see Maint, Arch, Acceptances & Releases). This archives acceptances and releases based on the END DATE. That is all Acceptances & Releases are archived with an END DATE less than or equal to the date you specify. In order to delete a Release or Acceptance you have to delete all its Containers (F9 on the Release entry screen), by pressing F3 to Edit followed by Delete.

You can follow a similar procedure for Archiving estimates.

To add a Prefix input it into the Prefix Entry Screen (see Lookup, More, Pref). Following this, run the Prepare Hand-held Codes Program (Lookup, Prep).

Uploading the codes to the Hand-held is usually handled at the end of the Prepare Hand-held Codes Program. However, I think this does not work on NT Workstations.

To upload to the hand-held, do the following. Make sure the TouchPC and the Workstation are connected:

On the TouchPC
Exit the program (The password is NEXIT012).
At the D: > prompt type PCLINK and Enter
Choose Receive.

On the Workstation
Open WindowsNT Explorer
Open the JEI folder on the Server (J:)
Open the CDS49 sub folder.
Open the DDrive sub folder.
Open the program PCLink.exe.
Choose 1 Send File.
Tag all .DAT files by highlighting each file and pressing T.
When all .DAT files have an * showing they are tagged, press Ctrl Enter.
Press the spacebar when you see the message Press Any Key To Start Transfer.

On the TouchPC
Press Receive to start receiving the files.
The TouchPC will prompt you saying a 'File already exists. Do you want to overwrite?'
Reply Y (Yes) each time.
When the transfer is complete, the system will return to the PCLink Menu, choose Receive again.

On the Workstation
Exit PCLink and return to the WindowsNT Explorer.
Go up one level to the CDS49 folder.
Open the Fdrive sub folder.
Open the program PCLink.exe.
Choose 1 Send File.
Tag all .DAT and .TAR files by highlighting each file and pressing T.
When all .DAT and .TAR files have an * showing they are tagged, press Ctrl Enter.
Press the spacebar when you see the message Press Any Key To Start Transfer.

On the TouchPC
Press Receive to start receiving the files.
The TouchPC will prompt you saying a File already exists. Do you want to overwrite? Reply Y (Yes) each time.
When the transfer is complete, it will return to the PCLink Menu
Exit PCLink
Start the program by typing EAGLE2 D:
As soon as the menu appears choose Clear and Delete to delete all data and start with fresh data files. It is essential to do this, to avoid data corruption.

You should now have all the codes uploaded

You should only be using one version of WinBridge, and it should be the latest, which is Sterling Commerce. If it doesn't have all the Size and ISO Codes you require, you will need to speak to Sterling Commerce as they may have an update for you.

The Size and Type codes on the TouchPC, in the CDS49 and the WinBridge, should all be ISO codes. The TouchPC, CDS49 and WinBridge do not translate or change the Size and Type codes. The only exceptions are chassis's which do not conform to the ISO standard.

In the ISO Type list the CDX refers to the Cedex Code for types of containers. These are CON, REF, TNK, and CHZ for Container, Reefer, Tank and Chassis. These are used within both the CDS49 and WinBridge systems.

The GEN refers to the old Genstar Types such as S, O, F, and R for Standard, Opentop, Flat, and Reefers. These are no longer used.

By 4 x 6, do you mean 4inches by 6inches or 4ft x 6ft? The unit of measure you use should be as set on the Customer Details in the UNIT field on Page 2. It is best to use CMT (centimetres) or INH (inches) and use only that unit when inputting the size of repairs.

If the size of repair is unusual and not one commonly used then you can key in that information on the TouchPC in the SIZEXSIZE field. Along with the list of regular sizes there is the option to KEY in the data. Be careful to leave a space before 'x' i.e. 24 x 24 not 24x24.

Please don't use the KEY for Components, Repairs, Damages, Allocations, SZTPs, and CUSTCODE'S. If the size of repair is one commonly used, then you should add it to the SIZES table in the CDS49 (see Lookup, More, Sizes) and then upload it to the TouchPC. John will assist you with this on his next visit.

-On gate movement screen, entered unit then deleted-but could not re-enter unit. During deletion got following message: run error-expecting value of date type-For unit CRLU913658-changed to available on survey screen-entered dates 6/22/00 in pg2 of 2 on "available" & "repaired" yet when we went to outgate-container showed awaiting repair. Put in available status again and it showed up on daily activity?

On the Gate screen, once a container has been accepted into the system you cannot change the gate information. This is because it is a record of the gate interchange. However, details relating to the container can be changed on the Master Viewing Screen. From the Gate Movements screen, press F1 to go to the Master Viewing Screen. Find the Container you wish to change and then move the cursor to the data field you wish to change.

Now press Ctrl+Home and it will let you change that piece of data. The system doesn't let you change all the data fields, but most are accessible in this way. Some data fields relating to the Survey such as Size and ISO Type can only be changed in the Survey screen, rather than the Master Viewing screen.

I can't tell what went wrong for CRLU 913658, but filling in the Available Date should change the Status to AVAILABLE. Please test this on another container and let me know if it is not working. Dates should be inputted including the century (6/22/2000).

The two invoice addresses on the Customer details screen are on Page 1 of 4 (INV ADDRESS) and Page 3 of 4 (ADDRESS2). Repair invoices always use the INV ADDRESS. Storage and Handling Invoices can use either the INV ADDRESS or ADDRESS2 depending on whether you set ADDRESS (on Page 4 of 4) to 1 or 2.

Manual Invoices can use either address. Repair estimates can also be billed to separate customers depending on the authorisation on the estimate.

Repairers can be deleted in the Repairers screen by pressing F3 to edit and then Del to delete.

Customers can be deleted in the Customers screen. First press F9 to get to the storage and handling rates, then F3 to edit and then Del to delete each line item. When all the line items are deleted, press F8 to move to the Customer details and then press F3 to edit and Del to delete.

You should only delete codes from the system if you are sure that you no longer wish to access data regarding them. For instance, if you delete a customer and the system has an invoice for that customer, you will no longer be able to print that invoice.

If the Components are in the system, it maybe that you need to run the Prep codes process (see Lookup, Prep). This prepares any new codes for the Hand-held and also for F1 Lookup menus. When you run this, it will prompt

you to connect the hand-held. Just press Esc when you get the prompt. After running this any new components should appear on the F1 Lookup menus.

You can edit some (but not all) fields in the Master Viewing Screen by moving to the field you want to change and pressing Ctrl+Home.

On the Customer screen Page 2 of 4 there is a field CDX/GEN GATEIN REQD, change this from Y to N. This is for CAI and any of their Lessee's. By setting it to N it tells the system that the Gate In is not essential for the Estimate and the Estimate is not essential for the Gate In record when transferring to Cedex.

There is one area you need to be aware of, and that is, the status defaults to IN DAMAGED in Cedex. Therefore before transferring to Cedex you must make sure that any sound units have had their status changed to AVAILABLE.

The Eagle Download program is TPCDLOAD.BAT and it should be in a directory C:\PRIV or C:\JEI\PRIV, There is also a switch required -C1 or -C2 depending in whether the Eagle connects to COM1 or COM2.

An example the command line would be: C:\JEI\PRIV\TPCDLOAD.BAT -C1.

I don't think there are any special settings required, other than closing the Window when the program terminates.

We are using the PCAnywhere on xxx's terminal, so I don't think the PCAnywhere shortcut is required on that workstation.

In the CDS49 choose Reports, PrivRestore. This restores the temporary report tables such as Estdoc, which can get damaged if there is a problem printing, and should correct the problem.

On Page 1 of the Customer screen, the 6 INV ADDRESS fields are for the Invoice Address. On Page 3 of the Customer screen the ADDRESS2 fields are used for information and/or a second Invoice Address.
For Repair Invoices *only* INV ADDRESS is used.
For Storage & Handling Invoices INV ADDRESS or ADDRESS2 is used depending
on whether ADDRESS (on Page 4) is set to 1 or 2.
For Manual Invoices INV ADDRESS or ADDRESS2 is used depending on whether
ADDRESS (on Manual Invoice Screen) is set to 1 or 2.

You can do this in the component screen by pressing Insert and filling in the Cedex Code in the COMPONENT field and then press F7 in each of the other fields. The F7 key copies what is on the record that was present before inserting the new record. Test it by doing it on one component and then using that component on an estimate. Don't forget that after adding a component record you need to run the Prep option on the Lookup Sub Menu before the component is available for use in estimates.

If you have estimates already in the system, we cannot replace your code set. You would need to add another code using the Cedex Code for every code you have.

To put your address on the Invoices it must be set-up in the Set-up Screen (Maint, Set-up) in the ADDRESS fields under the COMPANY Names. You should also have the HEADED INVS & ESTS set to N, if you want the Company Name and Address to appear on the Invoices.
