This article describes ~~how~~ the [[Data Processor]] "pulls down" (ie moves to her local c:\ drive) [[Centralized_data.~~mdb~~]] and [[PHI.mdb]] for editing. The file gets moved to local because it's faster there and because it prevents collectors from sending in the middle of update actions.

This article describes the part of [[PHI copy automation]] where the [[Data Processor]] "pulls down" (ie moves to her local c:\ drive) [[Centralized_data.accdb]] and [[PHI.mdb]] for editing. The file gets moved to local because it's faster there and because it prevents collectors from sending in the middle of update actions.

Data should not be pulled during '''[[designated sending times]]'''.

~~'''**''' Before going home~~ '''ALWAYS''' make sure you ~~are in~~ the '~~push~~' ~~mode~~

'''ALWAYS''' make sure you also complete [["Pushing" Centralized_data.accdb]] ''' or [[Data collector]]s will not be able to [[send]] during the next [[designated sending times]].'''

== Instructions / Steps to Pull ==

* double-click on ''Centralized_CCMDB'' (folder shortcut icon)

* double-click on ''Centralized_CCMDB'' (folder shortcut icon on Pagasa's desktop -yellow triangle)

* double click on [[Pull_down_centralized_data.vbs]]

* If you get the error msg "Phi files are locked", then re-boot the computer

Screen prompt will say 'attempting to update...', Click OK

Then 'finished updating...', Click OK

* Prompts ''do you want to ...''

* Answer Yes

* Wait for the program to ''pull'' which takes ~~approx. 5 minutes~~

* Wait for the program to ''pull'' which takes {{Pull process time}}

* Prompts ''finished processing pull script''

* click OK

*The [[Push/Pull log]] will show whether you are in 'push' or 'pull' mode.

The [[Centralized_data.accdb]] & [[PHI.mdb]] get moved to the directory from which [[Pull_down_centralized_data.vbs]] was run.

== Background ==

The data processor takes control of the data by [["Pulling" ~~Centralized data~~.~~mdb~~]], and releases it back for [[sending]] or for others to access by [["Pushing" ~~Centralized data~~.~~mdb~~]].

The data processor takes control of the data by [["Pulling" Centralized_data.accdb]]

, and releases it back for [[sending]] or for others to access by [["Pushing" Centralized_data.accdb]].

The current state of pushing/pulling can be seen in the [[Push/Pull log]]

At the beginning and end of the day, it should '''ALWAYS''' be in ~~the '~~push' mode.

At the beginning and end of the day, it should '''ALWAYS''' be in [["Pushing" Centralized_data.accdb|push]] mode.

~~===can't back up in pull mode? ===~~

~~When in the ''Pull'' mode, data processor can edit, but not perform a ''Back Up''~~

* {{discussion}} what is this back up and why can it not be done while in pull state? Ttenbergen 21:21, 2014 September 29 (CDT)

~~Can only Back Up while in the ''Push'' mode~~

==="Back up" ===

*The Centralized and Phi.mdb back up in Pull and Push state.
