Currently users must select a schedule day/date from PtMS and export or send the schedule to the PtMS IS Interactive Scheduler. This operation only takes 10-30 seconds to complete. When scheduling tasks are completed in PtMS IS, the PtMS schedule database must be updated with the schedule results. This operation only takes a few seconds to complete.
Both of these tasks are accomplished using the PtMS IS Data Exchange. A soon to be released SQL version of PtMS will no longer require this step since the entire database will be in SQL in this version and transport of schedule results between the 2 datbases will no longer be necessary.
