How to Install CT Impact Lite Dialer Interface

 

Move program source code to PRIVLIB:

There are 2 programs, CTIL.BUILD.CAMPAIGN and CTIL.PROCESS.RESULTS.  The source code files for these programs will be mailed to you by CCI.  Each of these files need to be placed into the PRIVLIB file on each logon for which you want to build an interface to CT Impact.  There are different possible methods to accomplish this.  They are:

-          Use Windows Explorer and mapped drives on your desktop computer.

-          Use an FTP client software product.

-          Use TCS’s FILE-TRANSFER program from TCL.

-          Use a desktop text editor to copy the source code.  Then use TCS’s ED program from TCL, get into insert mode, and paste it in.

 

Compile and catalog the programs:

After the programs exist in PRIVLIB, from TCL, enter the following command:

 

BASIC PRIVLIB CTIL.BUILD.CAMPAIGN CTIL.PROCESS.RESULTS

 

After the programs are compiled, enter this command:

 

CATALOG PRIVLIB CTIL.BUILD.CAMPAIGN CTIL.PROCESS.RESULTS

 

Add programs to your menu system:

Use TCS’s Menu Builder program (menu 10.1.18) to add the new programs to your special routines menu (menu 12).

 

Create folders for campaign files and result files:

You need to create at least 2, preferably 4 folders (or “directories” or “paths”) within your TCS host computer’s file system.  In the examples below, we are showing the notation used by Windows.  If your host is unix-based, ignore the X: drive indicator and substitute forward slashes (/) where the examples show back slashes (\).

 

Minimum 2 folders, where “X:” is the appropriate drive letter:

 

X:\whatever\ctimpact\campaign\

X:\whatever\ctimpact\results\

 

If you would like to retain an archival audit trail of old files, set up 2 more folders:

 

X:\whatever\ctimpact\campaign_archive\

X:\whatever\ctimpact\results_archive\

 

Add FISCAL attributes to store last results:

This is optional, but recommended.  Use TCS’s “FINANCIAL SCREENS” program (menu 10.1.9) to add the following 3 new attributes to the FISCAL file configuration:

 

-          LastDialDt, data type = D

-          DialResult, data type = X

-          Campaign, data type = X
