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 how 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]]'''.

Data should not be pulled during '''[[designated sending times]]''': {{:Designated sending times}}.

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

'''ALWAYS'' make sure you finish [["Pushing" Centralized_data.accdb]] before you go home''' 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 on Pagasa's desktop -~~star 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 ~~both computers~~

* 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

Line 18:

*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.

==="Back up" ===

~~When in the ''Pull'' mode, data processor can edit.~~

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