To set up this interface
- The McLeod integration requires one of the two enhancements to run: RTALME (regular enhancement) or RTALME (advance enhancement). The RTALMA allows for more in depth cost codes to be setup in the Customer File for the VM Journal export options.
- If the customer does not want to integrate VM Journals then use the RTALME because the RTALMA triggers special switches when creating POs.
- Default directories can be set by running “editcnfg.cob” from the System > RTA Information > Special Utility Routine (SAU)
Config Name | Description |
RTA_TO_LME_DIR | Export Directory - where the data from RTA will be placed for import into LoadMaster |
LME_TO_RTA_DIR | Import Directory - where the data from LoadMaster will be placed for import into RTA. |
LME_ARCHIVE_DIR | Archive Directory - where the data files that have been processed will be moved. |
Each RTA Facility to be processed needs a corresponding McLeod “Company ID.” To do this, you need to:
- Go to Master > Facility > File Maintenance (MFM). Select your facility and then go to Edit > LoadMaster Settings
- The Company ID will be their TMS number.
- If they have multiple TMS (McLeod systems), then it has to be setup in a separate RTA facility.
- If you want a facility to have its own directories, they can also be set up here. If a directory is empty for a facility the corresponding default directory will be used.
| Note |

The export directory is where RTA will export out to. The import directory is where RTA looks to grab the file from Load Master. |
On Bastion, navigate to \\FTP\FTP\localuser\RTAXXXXX\ and create a PROD folder. In the PROD folder, create the subfolders: IN, OUT, REPORTS.
- Set the Export Directory to \\FTP\FTP\localuser\RTAXXXXX\IN because these will be the .xml files that go "INTO" LoadMaster.
- Set the Import Directory to \\FTP\FTP\localuser\RTAXXXXX\OUT because these are the .xml files that were exported "OUT" of LoadMaster.
- Set the Import Directory to \\usw2-fs01\ClientData\RTAXXXXX\LoadMasterArchive - these will be the .xml files that were exported from LoadMaster containing data we imported into RTA.
