Launching MDRapid

Once approval is granted, and the RFP contains one or more files that should have their data copied prior to installation, the installation process checks the Promotion Level parameters and if the Automatic Launch MDRapid is set to 'N' the RFP status is set to 'CP' - Copy Pending. An authorized user must then launch MDRapid to begin the Copy process. To do this, toggle to the Install list using F9 in the RFP Manager.

The list of all RFPs in status CP or 03 are displayed.

Enter a '1' for a RFP number with status CP to launch it. A confirmation screen with the following fields is displayed:

Auto-Install Objects when Data Copy Complete

Y - Yes, the install steps should begin automatically once all data has been copied

N - No, an authorized user must schedule the installation

W - Yes, auto-install if the data copy finishes within the Time Window

Time Window for Auto-Install

The minimum and maximum Date/Time that the Copy process must finish within in order for the RFP to auto-install. If the RFP finishes outside of the window, then an authorized user must schedule the installation. Exit point commands can be defined for the level to notify the group when the Data Copy is finished.

Once Enter is pressed, the MDRapid jobs are submitted to the job queue defined by the MDRapid template and MDCMS monitors the progress. Once a physical file has completed the copy process, MDCMS builds the dependent logical files. Once all files are prepared for installation, the status of the RFP is switched to 03.
