Interface components
The interface to SPS includes: WM interface with Kewill.ship A Kewill.ship attended station Configuration and monitoring of carriers and EDI transmissions
Terminology
1-3
Terminology
Attended station Computer used to run the attended software, which allows shipping of international material and non-standard transactions. Carrier A company that ships small parcels such as UPS or DHL. Carrier profiles Details about a location's shipping preferences with a carrier. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Transfer of data via modem or internet, which in the context of shipment processing allows shippers to transmit manifest information electronically to carriers for billing and tracing purposes (also referred to as PLD for carrier UPS). Hold file Kship allows you to process transactions into a Hold file. Transactions stored in the Hold file are unaffected by carrier closing procedures and do not affect transactions counts, carrier manifests, or EDI files until an operator chooses to release them into the Ship file. Location The sites that ship material using the shipping system. Package Material that is mailed or shipped. Package ID number or Container ID Unique number assigned by a shipper to identify a particular package. This number must be printed on the address label (or a label produced by Kship at the time of package processing) and on the manifest. This number is usually the WM Container I.D. number, which ultimately identifies a consignee name and address. The number is used for auditing, tracing, and claims purposes Partner Company that uses the shipping system. Rate server Computer that runs the unattended version of Kewill.ship (Kship) that services all WM transactions.
1-4
Services Various options that partners can ship packages by using the supported carriers. Special services Optional or additional features available from each carrier such as COD or packing with dry ice. Tracking number Number assigned by a package carrier that identifies individual packages. The number usually is bar coded and used by carriers to trace the package through their distribution system. User Person accessing the shipping system.

Minimum requirements
Microsoft Windows 2000 or 2003 server The most current Microsoft service pack, security updates, and patches are recommended. Updates and patches are available from the Microsoft Update Web page. (Microsoft .NET update is not required as of 09/01/2002) Microsoft Windows 2003 is not currently supported

Server configuration
SPS supports two configurations:
Single server Dual server. In single server mode, all SPS components run on a single server. In dual server mode, the Microsoft SQL Server component resides on one server (the SQL Server), while the Kewill.Ship component executes from a second server (the Application Server). In dual server mode, the application server accesses the SQL server via a network connection. These instructions are for the single server configuration; changes for dual server are noted within the text. Hard drive configuration is highly dependent on the end users IT practices and the hardware in use. At one end of the spectrum, the entire application can be supported on a single hard drive. Most users prefer multiple partitions and some level RAID to provide redundancy and backup. These instructions present one possible configuration.
Server configuration
2-5
Install SQL Server to the D drive. Ensure the database files are installed on the D drive.

Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy. Open Local Policies User Rights Assignment. Right click Log on as a service and add the Administrators Group.
Caution: Add the group, not the administrator user. Note: For dual servers, this account must be created only on the application server.
4 After you configure all of the servers, reboot the server to ensure changes and applications are applied.
Installing Kewill.Ship Verifying the Kewill.Ship database Configuring Kewill.Ship Enterprise Configuring Kewill.Ship Enterprise Infor WMS
Kewill.Ship is the core compliance engine that provides carrier compliant labels, compliant electronic upload functionality and courtesy freight charges. It is a standard product delivered by Kewill E-Commerce. The following instructions are paraphrased from the most current version of Kewill.Ship (v 7.8). Newer versions and upgrades always ship with current installation documentation, and should be reviewed prior to installation. For a dual server, Kewill.Ship is installed only on the application server. Microsoft clustering works on the system, however, the customers IT department is responsible for setting up, and maintaining clustering. See the clustering notes for more detail.

Rate server SPS operation Operating and maintaining the compliance engine

Rate server
The Rate server component of SPS is a single Active Server Page, written in VB Script, that runs out of Internet Information Services and accesses the Kewill.Ship compliance engine. The Rate server receives an XML document from WM containing package information via IIS (http port 80), processes the package and immediately returns a response XML document back to WM through the IIS connection. Copy the Rate Server Application file, kcom.asp, to the C:\KSHIP\App directory.

4 Ensure that the permissions for ActiveX controls are set to Enable unsigned ActiveX controls to download, install, and run. Depending on the browser version, there may be three to five ActiveX control settings. The ActiveX control is required to allow the Attended Station Web page to download label and manifest files from the server and print them to a local printer. 5 Click OK, accept the changes, and click OK again to exit the dialog.

SPS operation
After you successfully complete system setup tasks, carrier configuration, and commissioning, you can use the SPS system. To ship via a carrier, that carrier must be open for shipping. After you open a carrier, you can ship packages from the attended station or through the WM interface. You must close the carrier at the end of the day to allow any EDI uploads to the carrier for packages shipped that day and to generate paper manifests. You must reopen the carrier to allow shipping for a new day. The SPS Attended Station Web page provides the method for an operator to log on to SPS, manually ship packages, view history, and execute all normal end-of-day procedures. The server directly handles EDI uploads. When a carrier is closed, the Manifest Sender server-based component creates the upload file. The Manifest Sender determines when and how often to send EDI uploads. The Manifest Sender also provides the ability to create Emergency PLD disks/files in case of upload failure.

Closing a carrier
To close a carrier:
1 Click Close to check. 2 Click GO to close the carrier. This closes the carrier for the current day.
Any carrier compliant with EDI transmission is handled automatically by the server-resident Manifest Sender service/application. Records for packages that are closed are uploaded periodically by the Manifest Sender. If the upload is unsuccessful, the Manifest Sender attempts to resend them at the same intervals. After the records are successfully uploaded, they are marked as such, and no further upload occurs. Manifest Sender configuration and use is discussed in a later section.
Opening a carrier
To open a closed carrier:
1 Click Open to check. 2 Click GO to open the carrier. This opens the carrier for the current day,
