Automatic Transmission Schedule
Go to Interface Configuration>Automatic Transmission Schedule.
This utility allows the external system to receive data in pre-definable, regular intervals. The AR EXPORT, BLOCK, INVENTORY, PROFILE REQUEST and PROFILE DAILY STATS data modules are currently supported. At the time the next transmission kicks in, all data for the selected data module between the last transmission and this transmission is sent with this utility. This does not require Opera business events, but it does require an OXI 2-way license code. When a message is sent it is identified as RTAV. Users can set up as many schedules as will meet the business requirements of the site.
Example for blocks: The automatic transmission interval is set to 2 hours and for 30 days in advance. Once the interval waiting time has elapsed and the next transmission is due, OXI will check all block header and block details for changes between the last transmission time and now, and will send all blocks that have changed and that have start dates between today and 30 days in advance, as full overlays to the external system.
Example for Profile Daily Stats: Use the Profile Daily Stats data module to schedule an upload of daily profile statistics to an external system. It is recommended that the user selects "Daily" and "2.00 AM" for the frequency and time to run.
Interfaces that currently utilize this functionality: PEGASUS, SPIRIT and DELPHI.
Example: Below a view of a configured Automatic Transmission Schedule screen.

Automatic Transmission has a message limitation. If the range of days exceeds 30 days, for example 60 days, then the transmission will be 2 RTAV messages of 30 days each. If the range of days is 90, then the transmission will be 3 RTAV messages of 30 days each, etc.
