Alert codes are the alphanumeric values assigned to various problems that occur on an asset. Located in the Integrations Console, the Asset Alerts Import via XML Add-on imports alert data from an XML flat file provided by a vendor to the FASTER Web database. FASTER Web uses SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import the XML file to the FASTER Web database.
The imported alerts are available at the following places for different purposes:
· In the Alerts Tab of the respective Asset to maintain alert history of an asset.
· In the Service Requests and Alerts section of the Maintenance module to associate the fault code or alert to a repair type, and then create a pending repair for it.
· In the My Repairs page of the Technician Workstation (TWS) when a technician is logged on to a specific repair.
· Permission to access the Integrations Console.
· Purchase the Asset Alerts Import via XML Add-on in order to view and perform integrations from the Integrations Console.
· SSIS must be installed and properly configured and the ZappySys SSIS PowerPack must be installed with a valid license key before deployment of the integration. This only needs to be done once, for all the SSIS integrations and not per SSIS based integration.
Before using the Asset Alerts Import via XML Add-on, ensure it has been deployed and configured:
1. Deploying the Asset Alerts Import via XML Add-on on the SSIS Server
