Manual Uploads
If you wish to run the EdgeTPW.exe manually or outside the schedule:
From a command line, for example, type C:\Program Files (x86)\ajsllc\Edge\EdgeTPW.exe.
We recommend creating a desktop shortcut to the TPW execution.
To do so:
- Right click anywhere in the desktop and from the context menu, select New > Shortcut. The Create Shortcut window will appear.
- In the Type the Location of the Item field, for the default location, enter C:\Program Files (x86)\ajsllc\edge\EdgeTPW.exe.
- Select Next. You will be prompted to name the shortcut.
- Enter a meaningful name such as Upload to Website Now and select Finish.
Scheduling Uploads
After configuration, TPW can be run on a scheduled basis using Windows Task Scheduler.
For information on how to use the Windows Task Scheduler, see the section labeled Windows Task Scheduler. Specifically for TPW, schedule EdgeTPW.exe to run daily.
Marking Items for Upload
Once you have set up upload instructions for the site, new items will be automatically included unless you specify otherwise in the item record. The Website tab will appear in the Item Add screen. Complete these fields to provide item-specific instructions for upload.
Fields and options in the Web tab include:
|
Never Upload This Item
|
Indicates that the item should never be included in TPW uploads.
|
|
Always Upload This Item
|
Indicates that the item should always be included in TPW uploads. Use this option with caution; when it is enabled, the item will remain on the website until you remove the check. Always Upload This Item is typically used on fast selling items that you always want displayed on the website regardless of whether the item is in stock.
