Configuring e-automate connections

E-automate is a third-party application that helps customers manage common business processes, like inventory control and billing. Fleet Tracker can be integrated with e-automate so that the application can use the Fleet Tracker data.

1. From the Fleet Tracker web portal, click > System Integration.

2. Click Create.

   You can also do the following:

   • To search for an e-automate connection, type its name in the Find Connection field.

   • To edit an e-automate connection, click its name.

   • To delete an e-automate connection, select its name, and then click Delete.

3. From the e-automate Connection Details section, configure the following:

   • Connection Name—The name of the e-automate connection

   • Username—The user name used to log in to the e-automate server

   • Password—The password used to log in to the e-automate server

   • Company ID—The company ID associated with the e-automate server

   • Server Address—The IP address of the e-automate server

   • Port—The port number used to send Fleet Tracker data to e-automate

   • Web API—The web API used with the e-automate server

   • API Version—The web API version number

4. To schedule a recurring data transfer, from the Automated Transfer of Meter Data section, do the following:

   1. Select Transfer Enabled.

   2. In the Transfer Time field, specify the frequency for sending data.

   3. Specify the hour (0–23 in 24-hour time) and day for the transfer to occur.

5. If necessary, from the Meter Mapping section, configure the settings.

   Notes:

   • Make sure that the default values have not been changed in e-automate. These values must match the meter fields used in e-automate for the data to be integrated properly.
   • If you do not want to send meters to e-automate, then in the Enabled column, clear the meter.
   • If you want to send meters only to e-automate and it has a value other than zero, then from the Non-Zero column, select the meter.

6. From the Group Access section, select the groups whose data is shared with e-automate over this connection.

7. To validate the configuration, click Test Connection.

   Note: When editing an e-automate connection, you may also click Send data to e-automate now to initiate a one-time data transfer.

8. Click Save.

Note: Failed transfers do not appear in the Last Transfer column. To identify the cause of failure, check the error logs in the LFM.log file on the server.
