If you send in the ship/bill type codes with the call to TPAS
then the logical translation is ignored. So if MAXCIM always
sends in the same type of data, put that data type (eg: "S") in
with the call. Also see below on the logical table.

Do either of these systems run a process startup when activated ?
If so, you could have the TPAS Logicals defined at run time and the
logicals would be PROCESS level. The TPAS software looks at the
logical name tables in the order of: LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB, LNM$GROUP,
LNM$SYSTEM, LNM$TPAS.
Or, if the users of DMS are different from the users of MAXCIM then
you could create two different logicals GROUP name tables with the TPAS
logicals.
Create the tables and rights ids:
LNM$GROUP_xxxxxx Where xxxxxx is the UIC Group of the DMS Users
LNM$GROUP_yyyyyy Where yyyyyy is the UIC Group of the MAXCIM Users
Then define the logicals differently in each table:
DEFINE/TABLE=LNM$GROUP_xxxxxx TPAS$SEND_LOCAL_STD "Y"
DEFINE/TABLE=LNM$GROUP_yyyyyy TPAS$SEND_LOCAL_STD "N"
> c) What about the RMS audit trail ? How will it help ??
The Audit trail files were created in response to some of the TPAS I
sites that wanted an audit trail of every call to TPAS. I believe
they are using this for site/country audit requirements. It is really
site specific as to the need or not.

The AMP2 Mass load has been modified to be able to send a 'mass load'
of specific part classes. So you can send a note to ACADMY::QCA_ADMIN
requesting a mass load of the specific part classes. Just make sure
that you change the part class file on your end, so that when the
daily feeds come in the new part classes will be updated.
