Purpose & Scope:
Projects are created in Microsoft Dynamics SL on a regular basis and need to be imported into Spitfire.
Procedure:
Spitfire has a stored procedure that will create Project Setup/Contract documents from Microsoft Dynamics SL projects. This stored procedure can be run as a SQL Agent Job on a regular basis so that you can keep your Spitfire database populated with projects that are created in Microsoft Dynamics SL.
To import your Microsoft Dynamics SL projects on a regularly scheduled basis:
- Create a Microsoft SQL Server Agent job.
- In Step1 of the job, enter the following script, editing as appropriate for your company: exec dbo.pss_ProjectData @TestRun=1, @ContractValueRequired =1, @ScopeToNoteGrid =0, @CoImportFlags =0, @PMFlags =0, @pPJAddrType=NULL, @LastTS = NULL
- Enter a schedule in the SQL Agent job.
- Save and close.
Variables for the pss_ProjectData stored procedure
Note: Not all the variables need to be used.
- @TestRun—set to zero to commit changes.
- @ContractValueRequired—if 0 will include projects with no contract value; any value greater than zero sets a threshold for contract value. Project will only be imported if the contract value exceeds this threshold.
- @ScopeToNoteGrid—rarely used; copies Scope to the Note tabs Remark grid.
- @CoImportFlags—NULL=load from xsfConfig ImportProjectCO; 0=off; 1=On; 2=Approved only.
- @PMFlags—0=PM must be active employee and sf User; 1=all.
- @pPJAddrType—NULL=use customer address; Can specify 2 character code for Dynamics SL Address Type to be used.
- @pProjectMask—%=use all; Can specify any SQL mask for the project ID.
- @LastTS—NULL=load from xsfConfig, SynchProjectDataTS; 0=ALL (xsfConfig stores the last time the pss_ProjectData stored procedure was run – so NULL includes all projects from the last time the stored procedure was run).
