Deploy Assets

Explanation

To deploy aircraft and, or shipments to another base location, in the Disconnected Operations Workflow Manager, you prepare a full deployment. After you make your selections, the system creates a ZIP file that contains the selected items. When the file is ready, you export the file out of your instance of IFS Cloud.

Prerequisites

Loose inventory and pack-up kits are deployed in shipments, so a shipment containing a pack-up kit or loose inventory items must be created in Maintenix first. The shipment is then available for deployment.

System Effects

When you select assets, the system automatically includes a portion of the asset's technical records and a set of baseline batch updates in the export file. In full deployments these records are hidden from view.

Steps

1. In the Aurena Navigator, go to the Disconnected Operations Workflow Manager / Prepare Deployment page.
2. Select the destination AIRPORT location.
3. Select Full Deployment, then click Next.
4. If you are deploying aircraft, select one or more aircraft.

   Tip: You can filter lists. For example, click the filter icon and enter the serial number in the serial filter field. If you have Maintenix open in another browser tab you can copy a serial number or another filter value.

5. To select shipments, click Next, otherwise click Finish.
6. If you are deploying shipments, select one or more shipments, then click Finish.

   Result: The system starts to prepare the file and displays a unique Transfer ID for the file.

7. Click View File.

   Result: On the Export File page you see the Transfer ID and status for the file.

8. Click the expand arrow to see the status for each selected item. When all items have the Ready status, the file status is Ready To Export.

   Troubleshooting:

   Transfer ID Status	What To Do
   Ready To Export but you want to cancel the transfer	If all the selected aircraft and shipments have the Ready status, but you decide not to export the prepared file. Click Mark As Done. This changes the status of items in the nested to Cancel. Warning: You must now go to Maintenix and unarchive aircraft or inventory assets.
   Ready With Errors	One or more of the selected aircraft or shipments is not included in the file. Click View Errors and try to resolve the errors. You can proceed to export a file in Ready With Errors status. If you export the file, the sub-files in Error status are not exported. To export these items, any associated errors must be resolved and then you can prepare a new deployment.
   Error	The file cannot be exported. Click the View Errors button and try to resolve the errors.

    

9. Click Export Files.
10. Enter your password and click OK.
11. If you exported a file in Ready With Errors status, the file now has the Partially Exported status. If you are done with this Transfer ID, enable the Mark As Done option.

Result: The export file is downloaded to your local machine. You can copy it to a filepath, drop box, USB stick location where the destination location can access and import the file.
