System Overview
PC TopKAT Online System Detailed Operational Process
Figure 11-5: Driver Information Window
• The PC Online Equipment file and Drivers file contains information about every piece of
equipment and every Driver “authorized” to use the Online TopKAT systems.
• When you select either Files/Equipment or Files/Drivers, a screen displays the first
equipment or driver record in a template. A scrollable and searchable grid of all
Equipment or Drivers in the PC Online database is displayed. For the list of options, refer
to
“Appendix D: Driver Import Files”
and
on
• The list of options for an individual Equipment record determines, where the totals on a
completed transaction are stored in the PCTopKAT_Online.xls file, if used.
• You can add, delete, edit, activate or lockout individual Equipment or driver records using
this screen.
• Exercise care when modifying these records locally and if these records are handled
through import files. A new import file will overwrite any local changes.
Lockout Status/Equipment and Drivers
• Every Equipment and Driver record has a Lockout Status.
• Locked Out Equipment or Driver numbers will not be authorized for a fueling transaction.
• When PC Online is in the normal “Authorize TopKAT” mode, both the Equipment and
Driver number entered must have the record set to “Active” for a fueling transaction to be
approved.
• If import files are provided by the customer’s mainframe, lockout status must be modified
using those files.
PC Online/Import Equipment and Drivers
Note: The files cannot be read if the PC Online Database is currently in use. For example,
File/Equipment, Driver, TopKAT, Transaction, or Reports open and in use. These files
will be read after those programs are closed. For details on these file layouts, refer to
“Appendix D: Driver Import Files”
and
• Import files will be generated by the customer’s mainframe PC.
• Large numbers of Equipment and Drivers can be added, edited, activated, or locked out
through import files.
