Challenge:
Collector worklist assignment occurs each night during the job stream within the aging process. Often there are times when customers need to run worklist assignments outside of the job stream, situations such as due testing new collector assignment parameters or incorrect aging date in production.
Solution:
Before beginning the process, you'll need to identify the UniData "internal" date. (The internal date is the number of days after 12/31/1967 - Day 0.) To determine the internal date for the desired collector assignment date, type DATEX at the TCL command prompt and enter in MM/DD/CCYY format. The command will return a 5-digit integer.
Now that you have the internal date, go into Lease Parameter maintenance and set the aging run code to “Y”. Next, run ASSIGN.CONTRACTS at TCL to force Collector Assignment outside of the NJS. When the command prompt returns, type CREATE.COLL.LISTS. This process is now waiting for you to enter the 5-digit internal date followed by <CR>. Once finished, the collector worklists will have been regenerated! Don't forget to set the aging run code back to “N” under Lease Parameter maintenance when finished.
