Introduction
IntelliTrack WMS provides an Import Export utility to import data into its
database tables and export data from them. Import and export data is stored
in text files [files with a (.txt) extension]. A folder is created during
installation to hold these files and is found in your program directory
(\IntelliTrack\WMS\Import Export). The WMS Import Export
Utility requires line number information.
Warning: DO NOT IMPORT data that contains special characters or
quotes with the exception of dashes, dots, and spaces. Except for dashes,
dots, and spaces, if your data contains special characters or quotes, the
database will become corrupted. For more information, please refer to
“Precautions When Entering Data” on page 20 .
Reaching the Import Export Utility
The Import Export Utility may be configured to begin automatically after
the workstation restarts, or it can be started from the Windows Start menu.
It is connected directly to the WMS database to provide better perfor-
mance. Data access is configured during installation. If the location or
login information changes, you will be prompted to re-enter your login and
password information to regain access to the database from this utility (the
server name, database name, user name, and password are required).
Once access to the database is established, you must login to the WMS
Import Export Utility. Your WMS username and password are required, as
per your security settings in the IntelliTrack WMS workstation application.
To open the Import Export Utility:
1. Select Start > Programs > IntelliTrack > WMS > Import-Export
Utility. The Login window appears.
2. Enter your WMS user name in the User Name field. If a password is
required, enter your WMS user password in the Password field. Click
OK. The WMS Import Export Utility opens.
