MODCBR - CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 3.14 Replication Choose this option to replace and fully update all reference files from the Server. 'Replication' is the process of copying from the Server to the Client the current version of all data files  and  control  tables.  Normally  any  changes  to  this  data  are  transferred  automatically  to  the Client when the user logs in to the server so that Client system files are standardised across the entire  server  network.  If  an  individual  user  wishes  to  retrieve  a  complete  set  of  tables  from  the Server  they  can  do  so  under  this  option.  Replication  deletes  all  server  controlled  data  from  the Client and then reinstalls the data in full.  The user will need to login to the Server in order to replicate. Automatic Replication 'Replication' is normally an automatic process. When you login to the server, it checks the version of the files and reference tables on your Client PC to verify that they are the same versions as are on  the  server.  If  any  files  or  tables  on  your  Client  PC  are  not  the  same  version,  the  server automatically transfers the necessary update. When you are using the system and are logged in, you may occasionally see a screen message: “The  database  has  been  updated.  Do  you  want  to  replicate?”  You  would  normally  accept ‘Yes’  to receive the replication of the database. If you say ‘No’, the database update will be part of the automatic replication process when you next Login. When an update or replication occurs, you see the 'replication in progress' message box on your screen.  When  the  update  is  complete,  you  are  prompted  by  the  message  box  to  accept  ‘OK’ before you continue your task. Requesting Replication In certain circumstances, you may need to request 'replication'.  For example, in preparing a new Customs declaration, you know that a new declarant code is just issued, but the new code does not appear in your declarant table. To use the new code in the declaration, you could request a full replication or logoff and login again, so as to receive an update of the declarant reference table. Manifest The menu option  ‘Functions’, ‘Manifest’, allows you to view a cargo manifest or to produce a List of Stored or Registered Manifests. The user will need to login to the Server in order to use these menu options. To view a Manifest, after selecting the menu option, you need to enter into the box on screen the Voyage number and date of the manifest, or the manifest registration number. If you do not know the number, you can retrieve a manifest by first asking for a List of Stored or Registered Manifests and then selecting from that list. From   the   Manifest   screen   you   can   select   individual   Bills   of   Lading   for   viewing   or   printing. (MODCBR only.) For further details on the viewing of manifest details, and on the operation of the Manifest functions in ASYCUDA++, see Section 5 of this Reference Document, ‘Manifests’. Declaration Functions The functions from the main declaration menu option are as follows: - Creation This  option  on  the  declaration  menu  allows  the  user  to  create  a  new  declaration  by  the  input  of SAD information into the system.
