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.
ALWAYS make sure you also complete "Pushing" Centralized_data.accdb or Data collectors will not be able to send during the next designated sending times.
Instructions / Steps to Pull
- 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 about 5 minutes (see here)
- 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.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 push mode.
"Back up"
- The Centralized and Phi.mdb back up in Pull and Push state.
