# Introduction

## Purpose

This document contains information for states new to the Safety and
Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER) System /Commercial Vehicle
Information Exchange Window (CVIEW) System data exchange process. It
provides information on setting up to receive data from, and send data
to, SAFER. The procedures can be used to set up data exchange for both a
test environment or for production operations.

## Scope and Applicability

The primary audience for this document is a state CVIEW administrator.

The information contained in this document describes data exchange with
SAFER. The data format is assumed to be transactions approved by
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards
Committee (ASC) X12 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

## Responsible Organizations

[State CVIEW Administrator]{.underline} -- Responsible for state system
configuration, and routine and maintenance operations.

[Volpe National Transportation Systems Center]{.underline} -- Hosts the
operational SAFER and creates and maintains user identifiers and
subscriptions, provides communications testing.

[The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
(JHU/APL)]{.underline} -- Developed SAFER and the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA) CVIEW and maintains the Commercial Vehicle
Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) Test Facility to support
initial and on-going interoperability testing activities. Using this
facility, testers verify that products claiming to be compatible with
standard interfaces are actually compliant.

## Document Organization

This document is divided into several sections:

-   The first section, INTRODUCTION, identifies the intended audience
    for this document and the organizations involved in SAFER data
    exchange.

-   The second section, DOWNLOAD DATA FROM SAFER, covers the steps a
    state must follow to retrieve subscriptions from SAFER.

-   The third section, UPLOAD DATA TO SAFER, identifies the procedures a
    state must follow to fulfill subscriptions to SAFER.

-   The fourth section, INTEROPERABILITY TESTING, provides guidance in
    preparing to test the state's ability to retrieve and fulfill
    subscriptions.

-   The fifth section, REFERENCES, provides sources for additional
    information about CVIEW, SAFER, and CVISN.

The document ends with appendices organized as follows:

-   CONTACTS: provides names and communication numbers of staff members
    at APL and Volpe

-   PROCESS FLOW: provides a graphical representations of the download
    (subscription retrieval) and upload (subscription fulfillment)
    processes

-   PROCEDURES TO CREATE SUBSCRIPTIONS: provides an example of the
    procedures that may be used by a State to create and maintain
    subscriptions

-   FORMS: contains paper forms used in sending information to Volpe to
    set up state user IDs and mailboxes on SAFER, and to register the
    user for SAFER snapshots.

# Download Data From SAFER

To receive data of interest from SAFER, a state must request an account
(Section 2.1), a mailbox (Section 2.2), register for one or more
subscriptions (Section 2.4) at Volpe, and successfully perform tests
(Section 2.5). A subscription is a standing query specifying a
predefined set of conditions to be stored and re-processed by the data
source (SAFER, in this case) to forward data to an external system or
user at future times. Refer to Section B.1 for the activity flow diagram
for the download process.

## Approval Process

FMCSA must approve each state's request for data from SAFER. The state
contacts Volpe to request SAFER data. The administrator at Volpe will
ask FMSCA for the authorization to establish the user and mailbox based
on the organizational data provided by the state. (See Table 2--1 or
Appendix D for the necessary data and Appendix A for contact
information.)

## State Mailbox at SAFER

Volpe will establish the state user ID and mailbox using the
configuration instructions provided in Reference \[1\]. The state
mailbox is named CVIEWxx where xx is a two-character jurisdiction code.
This is the mailbox the state accesses to retrieve its subscriptions
from SAFER. The NT user ID is the same as the mailbox. Password is
provided by Volpe. The state will modify its registry settings to
identify the state mailbox on the SAFER system in accordance with
Reference \[1\]. The following table contains information needed to set
up an account for a state.

## Communications

See Reference \[2\] and contact Volpe for additional information on
communication options such as AAMVAnet, IPSEC, and FTS2001. See
Reference \[2\] for details on sending and receiving e-mail from SAFER.
See Section 4 for testing procedures.

## Subscription

To receive data of interest, a subscription must be established at
Volpe. The following sections specify the information to be provided.

### Carrier Subscription Properties and Registration Data

The information in Table 2--2 is required to register a state as a user
of a carrier subscription.

## Testing

States should first test their system with example snapshot (EDI) output
from SAFER. See Reference \[3\] for candidate interoperability tests for
SAFER-CVIEW data exchange. States may request sample EDI snapshot data
from APL.

When these interoperability tests are completed successfully, a state
should then retrieve a test snapshot inserted into its mailbox on SAFER
by Volpe. The state's processing system should correctly process the
data.

## Final Notification and Configuration

When the state is ready to receive SAFER data, the state will notify
Volpe to turn on the subscription (i.e., register the state for the
subscription). The state must turn on its timer to retrieve snapshots in
accordance with Reference \[1\].

This Page Intentionally Blank

# Upload Data to SAFER

To send data of interest to SAFER, a state must establish a mailbox for
SAFER on the state system (Section 3.2) and register SAFER for one or
more subscriptions (Section 3.4) at the state level. Refer to
Section C.2 for the activity flow diagram for the upload process.

## Approval Process

Before setting up SAFER to retrieve data from the state, Volpe will
require interoperability and communication tests to be conducted. (See
Section 4).

## SAFER Mailbox at the State System

A mailbox named \'SAFER\' shall be established on the state system via
OpCon. This is the mailbox SAFER will access to retrieve its
subscriptions from the state. The NT user name for SAFER on the state
system is also named \'SAFER\'. The password is provided by the state.
Volpe will modify its registry settings to identify the SAFER mailbox on
the state system in accordance with Reference \[1\].

## Communications

See Reference \[2\] and contact Volpe for additional information on
communication options such as AAMVAnet, IPSEC, and FTS2001. See
Reference \[2\] for details of sending e-mails to SAFER.

## Subscription

To send data of interest, one or more subscriptions must be established
for SAFER at the state system. The following sections specify the
information relevant to SAFER. See Appendix C for procedures that may be
used to set up SAFER subscriptions at a state using OpCon.

### Organization Data

The following table contains the information necessary to establish an
account for SAFER at the state.

## Testing

### General Connectivity Tests

Volpe will perform a system test to verify connectivity between the
state server and Volpe (e.g., via telnet).

### Interface Tests

See Reference \[3\] for candidate interoperability tests for SAFER-CVIEW
data exchange and Section 4 of this document for information on setting
up tests with APL. APL will notify Volpe upon successful completion of
the interface tests.

### E-mail Tests

To test the state's ability to send e-mails to SAFER according to
SAFER's packaging requirements:

1.  APL will use the 32-bit MailTool to retrieve contents of SAFER
    mailbox at the State.

2.  Place contents in a temporary folder.

Alternatively, Volpe executes a test using the mail tool and places the
contents of e-mail in a test folder. The Test tool uses the same
software as SAFER for extracting attachments. This demonstrates that
e-mail from the state is well formed.

## Final Notification and Configuration

Volpe will set the timer to read the SAFER mailbox at the state and will
notify the state to turn on the subscription for SAFER (i.e., register
SAFER for the subscription via OpCon).

# Interoperability Testing

This testing verifies the state's ability to:

-   retrieve snapshots from the state's mailbox at APLINT or Volpe

-   fulfill subscriptions to SAFER by sending a snapshot to the SAFER
    mailbox at the state

See Reference \[3\] for details on interoperability testing.

Before starting, the state should contact the APL (see Appendix A,
CONTACTS) and set up a time for testing. The state should also send APL
example snapshot EDI files for testing with CVIEW EDI tools. APL will
provide feedback to the state on the syntax and semantics of the EDI
files.

## Preparation

### Mailbox Setup

The state must establish users and mailboxes for SAFER and APLINT on the
state CVIEW using configuration instructions provided in
Reference \[1\]. APL will create a user and a mailbox for the state at
APLINT.

### Registry Modification

Refer to the following sections of the "CVIEW Version 3.3 Configuration
Definition Document" of Reference \[1\] for details on the modifications
of the registry needed for mailbox set up:

-   Section 4, CVIEW Registry Settings

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   SMTP Mailbox Settings

-   Error Mailbox Settings

-   Subscription Mailbox Settings

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Section 5, SENDLIST Registry Settings

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   SMTP Mailbox Settings

-   Error Mailbox Settings

### Subscription Creation 

APL will register the state for carrier (MCMIS and IFTA views) and
vehicle subscriptions (IRP and Inspection views) on the APL test server.
Refer to Appendix C for details. The state must register SAFER for
carrier IFTA and vehicle IRP views.

## Troubleshooting

#### Event Viewer

The Event Viewer is a utility providing information about security
events, hardware, software, and system problems. Software applications
may create entries in the \'Application Log\' to track significant
events or errors in processing. This utility is available on Windows
systems under \'Administrative Tools\'.

Problems are identified with a \'red light\'. Mailbox problems will be
displayed in the \'Application\' with \'IMH\' in the \'Source\' column.
Double-clicking the entry will provide more information. EDI outbound
translation errors typically have \'IOTSERVER\' in the \'Source\'
column.

#### Temporary Files

All \'temporary\' files, such as IOX, IIX, IOE, IOG, IOS, MBX (vehicle
snapshot), and ZIP (carrier snapshot) files, are transient. They appear
and then disappear from the C:\\TEMP directory. If they persist, this
indicates a problem with queries or subscription processing. Large
numbers of these files cause the \'TEMP\' directory to get very large
and it should be purged occasionally.

During processing, carrier \'MBX\' files are renamed to
\'ZIPzzzz.zip\'[^6]. If there is a read error, \'MBX\' files will remain
in the \'TEMP\' directory and an entry should appear in the \'Event
Viewer\' (see Section 4.2.1.1). The ZIP files are unzipped and each
record is extracted to an \'IOEnnnn.tmp\' file. The \'IOE\' files are
submitted to the EDI translator to produce an \'IIEkkkk.tmp\' file. The
\'IIE\' is used to update the database. For vehicles, \'IOXnnnn\' files
are read and processed.

#### Command Line Prompt

IMH_CMDLN.exe is a command line executable to monitor the processing of
a received snapshot. It is useful to use if no errors are evident but
processing is not taking place. For instance, if an e-mail problem
prevents the snapshot from being input to CVIEW, this could be used to
troubleshoot.

## Test Completion

When testing is complete, reset subscription registrations and mailbox
settings to operational status. Turn off error logging (set IOTLog=0),
and remove APLINT as a registered user of the state subscription. Delete
any messages that were sent during testing to the SAFER mailbox on the
state system. Un-register SAFER for any subscriptions for state data.
When Volpe notifies the state that is has turned on the mailbox timer at
SAFER to begin reading its CVIEW data mailbox, re-register SAFER for the
subscriptions.
