The MPT787 provides maintenance program data from Boeing's Toolbox for planning and execution. It created T/Cs and E/Cs and automatically links them. It uses a custom XML schema export. The manufacturer for this manual is Boeing.

Using the Boeing Tool Box MPT787 loader, Task Cards for Boeing 787 aircraft can be imported/loaded into TRAX. Once the files have been acquired from the manufacturer, the following steps must be performed.

TRAX allows the user to load and import MPT787s into a database via TraxDoc.

The following topic will detail the following:

• How to create a Traxdoc for the MPT787 doctype
• How to Load an MPT787 into TraxDoc
• How to Load a Stylesheet
• How to Import the MPT787 into the Trax system

TraxDoc Set Up (MPT787):

Create a new TraxDoc.

From the TraxDoc Document, Optional tab, select the Boeing Tool Box 787 (MPT787) SGML/XML Doctype:

Loading an XML into TraxDoc:

From the TraxDoc Explorer tab, right-click and select New / Load XML. Enter the zipped SGML file in Task Card Zip File field or in the Requirement/EC Zip File then save.

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Load Option

The load option for this manual. The default option for MPTs is XML Boeing MPT.

Requirement/EC Zip File

Select the zipped Requirement/EC file to be loaded.

Task Card Zip File

Select the zipped Task Card file to be loaded.

Enable Duplicated Tasks checkbox

Select this checkbox to load duplicate tasks from duplicate chapters. The TraxDoc XML Load program will add the last four digits of the XML file name to each task, regardless if the task is repeated or not.

Convert Images to JPEG checkbox

Select this checkbox to convert images (i,e .PNG, .CGM, etc.) to .JPEG. This checkbox is important for those customers who use a third party DLL who does not support certain image types, therefore they must be converted to .JPEG.

Alternate Reference Name Order checkbox

When this checkbox is selected, elements with ATA information such as Task/Subtask will be in the form (CHAPNBR-SECNBR-SUBJNBR-FUNC-SEQ-VARNBR-CONFLTR). When this checkbox is de-selected, these items will be in the form (CHAPNBR-SECNBR-SUBJNBR-FUNC-SEQ-CONFLTR-VARNBR).

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The following Load XML pop up will appear. Select 'OK' to continue with the load.

The following MS-DOC window will appear. The system will begin to load the records. The command window will remain open until the XML import is complete. This allows the user to review any errors that may have been generated by the process. Once all of the records have been loaded, the user may exit this window to continue.

The Task Cards will then be loaded.

Load a Stylesheet into TraxDoc

At this point, a customer-modified Stylesheet must be imported manually that will correspond with the 787 Tool Box Task Cards. This is done by right-clicking then selecting New / Import File. (For more information on this step, consult a TRAX System Administrator.)

Importing MPT into the system:

Once the XML has been loaded successfully into TraxDoc, the user must import the manual into the system.

From the TraxDoc Document Detail, General tab, select the Import From OEM button.

TRAX displays the Task Card Create from MPT window:

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

TraxDoc No.

The TraxDoc Document ID number, which is automatically generated by the system.

Wipe Existing Data checkbox

Select this checkbox to replace the existing data with the data from the new revision.

This checkbox is security controlled via TraxDoc/ Update/ TraxDoc Master/ Import From OEM Manual Button.

Override checkbox

Select this checkbox to override the Revision for Task Cards that are being imported.

Autocreate New Tran Codes checkbox

Some of the Task Card information provided in OEM manuals is controlled by Tran codes (i.e. Task Card types, areas, and skills). Selecting this checkbox will automatically create a Tran code record for any values found in the manual. If this box is not checked, the fields will still be set in the Task Card, but will have to be changed manually when working with the task card. This option is unchecked by default.

Default E/C Classification

Select the E/C Classification to be assigned to all Task Cards being created/revised from this import. For more information refer to the E/C Mandatory Classification via the Engineering Transaction Code Manual.

Enable Task Card Prefix checkbox

Select this checkbox to allow a prefix to be assigned to Task Cards being imported.

Task Card Prefix - The prefix to be assigned to the T/C being imported.

Enable Duplicated Prefix checkbox

Select this checkbox to allow a duplicate prefix to be assigned to Task Cards being imported.

Duplicated Prefix - A duplicate of the prefix to be assigned to the T/C being imported.

Create MPT and MPT787 TCs Revision checkbox

Select this checkbox to have all Task Cards that are created to contain an open revision, thus requiring manual authorization per the configuration of the Task Card Category Authorization Steps. When deselected, the T/Cs will not require any further authorization after imported into the system as all Task Cards will already be authorized.

Revert Pending Changes from this Revision checkbox

Select this checkbox to revert pending changes to the revision. Any new Task Cards created for this revision will also be deleted.

Create New TCs from this Manual Revision checkbox

Select this checkbox to create new Task Cards from the current manual revision.

Revise and Update TCs that have Previously been Loaded checkbox

Select this checkbox to revise and update Task Cards that have previously been loaded.

Create New ECs from this Manual Revision checkbox

Select this checkbox to create new Engineering Controls from the current manual revision.

Revise and Update ECs that have previously been Loaded checkbox

Select this checkbox to revise and update Engineering Controls that have previously been loaded.

Create Task Cards For drop down

Select the module required to load the SGML Task Card to: Engineering, Shop, GSE.

Ignore Panels and Zones checkbox

When selected, the system when creating or revising Task Cards will not include the Panels and Zones indicated in the AMM; the Panels/Zones for imported or revised T/Cs will be set to 'null'. When deselected, the Panel and Zone data for the T/Cs in the manual will be included in the T/Cs that were imported into the Engineering module. Regardless of the checkbox setting, when a revision is imported, any edits to the Panels/Zones done in the Engineering module between AMM revisions will be overridden to either 'null' (if the checkbox is selected) or to the data from the TraxDoc revision (if deselected).

Update TC Title checkbox

Select this checkbox to update the Description of the Task Cards being revised. When not selected, when a revision to a Task Card is imported, the T/C's Description in the Engineering module will remain the same and not be updated by the revision.

Log Directory

This option allows the user to specify the directory to which log files and error reports will be saved. The initial value is a sub-folder inside the default temporary directory.

Apply Strict Range Effectivity checkbox

When checked, imported Task Cards/Engineering Controls will be made effective to all Aircraft Type/Series, regardless of whether or not tail-level effectivity is specified in the manual. Positions, Zones, Panels, References, etc. will also be created for all type/series. If unchecked, effectivity will only be created for those type/series that have a least one effective Aircraft specified in the manual.

Create PN Master Records for Parts checkbox

Select this checkbox to auto create records in the P/N Master for any parts found in the manual.
When this checkbox is selected, the following fields appear:

Default PN Category - This P/N Category field in this window is referring to only Expendable part numbers. This determines how the system will handle this part. If the Category entered is a 'consumable' one, then the system will not be expecting serial numbers for every item in the system for this part number.

Note: The user must enter default values to place in these fields in case the MPT787 does not contain data for them. Parts for this category are identified by the TOOLNBR tag.

Default Consumables Category - This P/N Category field in this window is referring to only Expendable and Consumable part numbers. This determines how the system will handle this part.
